TORONTO -- Mar 22, 2006 -- Canada Web Hosting recently partnered with Syncsort, Inc. to upgrade its managed disaster recovery services. Canada Web Hosting now provides Canadian companies with enterprise-class disaster recovery solutions via its local and offsite backup networks in Toronto and Vancouver. Data backups and recoveries are included with every managed hosting solution provided by Canada Web Hosting, given their large number of heterogeneous server environments; they needed a very robust, high performance solution from a data protection vendor with a proven record in the managed hosting industry. Syncsort provided this solution. Backup Express's file and block-level backup technology came with excellent management and reporting tools. As a result, not only has the reliability of Canada Web Hosting's backup service improved, but average local and remote data restore times have been significantly reduced. This quick turnaround is key as Canada Web Hosting's enterprise customers often require disaster and data recovery timelines built into their Service Agreements.
Canada Web Hosting provides managed backups to its local Storage Area Networks (SANs) for Linux, Windows, MySQL, Postgress, SQL Server, Oracle and Exchange. It also offers the option to replicate backups between two datacenters for additional data protection. Senior Sales Executive, Kelly Beardmore, notes: "The efficient and secure transfer of backups between Toronto and Vancouver using Backup Express gives companies the data security they require for their business continuity plans especially when combined with geographically diverse hosting architectures featuring data replication, dns failover or global load balancing techniques."
"Syncsort values customers like Canada Web Hosting, and places high priority on helping them maintain superb customer service and support for fast disaster recovery," said Dan Regan, senior vice president at Syncsort. "In the current business market, an efficient and reliable remote disaster recovery strategy is essential, businesses can not afford lost or inaccessible data. Backup Express block-level solutions enable Canada Web Hosting to better serve the business continuity needs of its commercial customers and offer service agreements with superior data recovery timelines."
