Product Spotlight - Symantec System Recovery 8

You’ve spent thousands of dollars on backup hardware and software.  You’ve configured your backup software to diligently save your most valuable files to a backup tape nightly.  You even take the backup tapes off-site to a secure location.  You believe your data is protected and so is your business. But is it? There is a major consideration that many businesses fail to prepare for: the time required to recover from a disaster, should one occur.

In the case of a disaster where server hardware fails, rebuilding the system to its pre-failure state is a time-consuming and tedious process.  Typically, manual recovery of a server includes reinstalling the Windows Server operating system,  reconfiguring the system,  reinstalling backup software and finally (hoping for no unforeseen errors or corruption) recovering the data from tape media. Even after all of the above steps are completed, your server will still require additional work to bring it back to its pre-failure state.

Thanks to Symantec System Recovery 8, there is a simpler, quicker and more reliable way to recover a system that has suffered a catastrophic hardware failure. Symantec System Recovery 8 gives you the ability to restore a failed system in minutes, not days or hours.  You can even restore a lost system to dissimilar hardware, a virtual machine environment or to a remote location. The entire system is protected by System Recovery 8, including the Windows OS, applications, databases, files, drivers, user profiles and the registry.

By using System Recovery 8 in combination with a standard data backup plan, you can be confident that your systems are fully protected from disaster.  If a disaster strikes, be assured in the knowledge that downtime for your customers and employees will be at an absolute minimum.

What's KTS Up To?

Kazmarek Technology Solutions is constantly maintaining its commitment to its customers by always staying current with the latest technologies. This year has brought us more new technologies than ever before.  Some of these new technologies include Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, Microsoft Office 2007, and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.  The following two paragraphs quickly detail some of our latest experiences with these new technologies.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 – Providing huge advancements in performance, security, SPAM protection, and expandability.  KTS recently performed several Exchange 2007 migrations for some of its larger clients.  These migrations moved all user mailboxes from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 to benefit from the improvements in the new version mentioned above.  In most cases, the migrations were completed in just over a day with only minimal downtime for users.  One of these clients now enjoys the flexibility and expandability of multiple information stores and no upper size limit for mailbox databases.  This has allowed their company to continue its rapid growth while no longer worrying that their email system may not be able to keep up.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 – Providing best-of-breed customer relationship management with a familiar Microsoft Office interface.  The Microsoft Dynamics CRM product gives you advanced features for maintaining relationships with your customers, all from right inside Outlook.  KTS recently performed several CRM 4.0 upgrades to take advantage of the product version's latest features such as an Internet-facing architecture, better performance, on-the-fly reporting, and new customization options.  One upgraded client is now able to better track their unique project-based sales process through advanced customizations made to the CRM interface.  The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 solution has improved their sales efficiency beyond expectations resulting in better tracking and increased revenue.
