SAN DIEGO—Red Apple Media has completed an upgrade of its Media Vault storage system, making it easier than ever to keep data and assets protected in the event of a natural disaster. With an earthquake strike in Los Angeles and a snow dump in New England taking place just this week, it’s more important than ever to put a second and third backup in place that leverages cloud technology and multiple physical locations – because without a mitigation and recovery plan, clients’ livelihood could go up in smoke.
But disasters are not always the result of destructive natural catastrophes. Basements flood, electrical fires spark, pets pee on electrical equipment, and every second of downtime is a potential hit to revenue. Media Vault provides an à la carte cloud-based solution – without the requirement of a hosting contract – that stores their assets long term in a high-security protected data center with triple redundancy. If one circuit goes down, another immediately takes over, and a massive battery backup system provides power until a generator kicks in, which functions until power is restored.
“Media Vault is an affordable, manageable and fully compliant disaster recovery solution that incorporates storage solutions, replication, remote backups, updates and geo-redundancy,” Red Apple Media CEO and co-founder Steven Daris said. “And this kind of cloud solution is simply faster, more reliable, more cost-effective and easier than ever to take advantage of, especially when coupled with a managed dedicated hosting plan. Everything is taken care of under one umbrella so our clients don’t have to worry with the hassle and expense of building their own infrastructure.”
Many online business owners feel confident keeping their data on an external hard drive, updated daily and locked up in a safe somewhere outside of their offices, while others depend on online storage systems to store their video and photo files out of physical harm’s way. But should a server fail, or an external backup get damaged or stuck in an inaccessible location, clients risk not only losing their media, but also their most important business assets – including accounting, email and personal files.
“Our data centers have fuel contracts that are on par with those at government buildings and hospitals, which guarantees that the generators’ fuel supply is replenished with the same frequency,” Daris said. “This kind of high-level protection offers valuable protection and peace of mind and will make sure your online business remains up and running no matter what might happen to your hard drive.”
