Online Data Backup (SAN/NAS Archives)

Off-Server and Offsite Online Data Archiving / Backup

An important part of choosing your dedicated / collocated server provider is considering how you will back up the data on your new machine.

Even though we recommend and use the best hardware that is available for all our servers, moving part (especially disks) can occasionally fail and in some cases the data on the server may be lost. In over 90% of cases data-loss is user related - accidental deletion of critical files.

backup product logo We use multi-terrabyte high capacity Supermicro Online Network Attached Storage units as part of our SAN (Storage Area Network) connected to all our datacentres to manage the backup procedure. With multiple high-speed SATA/SAS/SCSI and Fibre-channel arrays OthelloBackup.net provide fast, reliable and affordable online-archival facilities for hosts, isps and corporates as part of their business contingency planning.

Our state-of-the-art Virtual storage SAN+NAS backup service provides a cost-effective solution to the problems of media degradation, slow restore times, capacity problems and tape storage - issues common to legacy backup methods.

Let us manage your requirement for ever increasing quantities of data & documents with our fast online storage systems. Save time, money and resources within your business as welll as providing that much-need backup copy in the event of a disaster (large or small).
