Your business
relies on a constant dependable flow of information.
 What keeps you up at night? Power failures. Blackouts. System maintenance.
Human error. Hardware failure. Intense demands on e-commerce or point of sale
systems.
Any of these can result in planned or unplanned server downtime.
According to Gartner, every hour of downtime costs an enterprise an average of $42,000.
iCluster manages business continuity so that your business
isn't impacted when problems strike. And that means a good night's
sleep.

Case Study: E-commerce
B&Q, introduced an e-commerce website in 2001, and required a solution
that would ensure the continuous operation of its
iSeries systems. Nightly backups intended to protect
the systems were taking up an excessive amount of time and resources. |
