Solutions
All our solutions operate with simple and consistent interfaces and are guaranteed to work together.
 

Our solutions centers on a storage consolidation strategy. By operating at the storage level instead of at the server or application level, we ensure protection while offloading tasks from busy servers and in turn replicate your critical data to our co-location facility.
 

We rationalize your disaster recovery and business continuance strategy and help you simplify data management.
 

We greatly improve your recovery times and reduce expensive downtime, protecting you against lost revenue and damaged reputation.
 

The simplicity of our solutions produces significant cost savings in the deployment and ongoing operation of your disaster recovery and business continuance strategy. This allows you to achieve your business goals, while protecting your critical data from planned and/or unplanned events.
 

All our solutions are based on NetApp technology. NetApp has built a comprehensive solution for solving numerous disaster recovery and business continuance challenges. The NetApp offering is differentiated by providing simple-to-use, feature-rich, highly reliable products enhanced by High Plains DataBank services.
 

The solution improves recovery time and lowers your management costs. Our co-location site could also fulfill an additional role as a business continuance facility in the event of a catastrophic customer site/system failure due to power outage, equipment failure, severe weather conditions, building damage, etc. Application data such as email is instantaneously available from a secondary server with the use of VMware. Files and applications need only to be restored. Moreover, all tape backups would occur at the offsite facility instead of the customer site, reducing costs as well as simplifying and centralizing backup management if you require it.

Customizable to meet your needs.
There are several options ifrom whihc to choose. The following are typical examples.

a. If you are an existing NetApp customer, you can purchase additional shelves of disk to reside at our co-location facility. This option allows you to physically remove your data assets in the event of a contract termination. Basically, you will be leasing processing power and management.

b. If you are an existing NetApp customer, you can also lease storage space from our co-location facility if you do not want to purchase storage. You cannot remove the disk assets, but can pay for data migration services for DR and BC. Basically, you would be leasing processing power, management and storage space.

c. If you are not a NetApp customer, High Plains DataBank can provide you with a storage system for your primary site. Essentially, you will lease the equipment while we manage your data at both the primary and co-location sites.

Any of these options will require you to purchase NetApp’s SnapMirror/SnapVault Primary licenses for your specific system. The requirement for encrypted data will not include the purchase of a encryption device. Instead, this equipment can be provided by High Plains DataBank if necessary. Moreover, if you require tape backups, you will need to purchase the LTO-3 media.

All of these costs can be rolled into a single operational lease to meet the your budget.
