Business Continuity

Do you need your computer system/network data available 99.999% of the time?

Look no further CGT/BMS and Marathon Technologies are the solution for your needs.

In addition, we promise not to call a simple backup, “business continuity”!

In Information Technology terms, “backup” refers to copying data so the copies—backups—can be used to restore the original after a data loss event. Backups are useful primarily for two purposes. The first is to restore to a state following a “disaster” (this is called “disaster recovery”). The second is to restore small numbers of files when they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted.

CGT/BMS and Marathon Technologies has proven software services to fit a variety of business requirements and budgets that specifically address Business Continuity, including disaster recovery, high availability, and 99.999% data availability—including data duplication (synchronous mirroring). These services are available individually or all together on a subscription basis.

When it comes to application management, IT professionals can no longer simply respond to incidents, but rather must use proactive monitoring: new services and technology designed specifically to prevent incidents entirely.

Online backup is possibly the most convenient form of backing up data while providing the basis for the best Business Continuity strategies available.

Having your system or network go down and losing files—data—can be catastrophic, and unfortunately, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. If your backup is not current, you could permanently lose data. If the backup will not restore fully or properly… even worse.

With CGT/BMS and Marathon Technologies, small and medium-sized businesses can enjoy the same online back-up of their data in real-time to an offsite data center, staying within the business’ infrastructure and budget.

How An Online Backup Might Work

Instead of storing your backup files on magnetic or optical media, your system, using our Prevention Program/M3, simultaneously sends duplicate data from your system/network over the internet to a remote computer. This remote computer is a real-time, remote backup: your simultaneous, mirrored server.

As a worst-case example: Your system starts to go down. Thanks to your impressive foresight, your online mirrored, remote server/backup implements your Business Continuity plan, and users are automatically switched over to the remote server and they continue working as usual.
