GEM Shield


Business Continuity Package

GEM Shield

What is it?

A comprehensive and affordable continuity solution for a business IT system:
  • Unique automatic archival and instantaneous disaster recovery. Your whole system and the data are backed up daily and are ready for recovery all the time
  • Four disk system to guarantee that one of the backup disks is always off-site
  • Up to 700GB of backed up data
  • SPOK secure remote access system to allow you to work from anywhere
  • If a disaster strikes (flood, fire, theft, etc.) we will provide hosted service for your remote access. Once your off-site disk is delivered to us, you will be able to work remotely until your office is ready to accept the replacement server
  • Open Source operating system which means that there are no limits on number of users and there are no license fees to pay
  • Reliable, comprehensive and secure
  • Versatile and expandable
  • Easy to install and easy to manage

How it works

The system is based on the TripleA™ technology:
  • All your data/configuration/system files are synchronised to all four disks. Two of the disks are inside the server, the other two are kept away and just brought to the office, one by one to keep them up to date. This means that one of these disks should be no more than 24 hours out of date.
  • Any of your four disks can be used in a replacement server (in your office or somewhere else - for remote access) - this gives you immediate access to your files, emails etc.
  • SPOK is a USB key that provides secure remote access to your server (or a replacement server) from anywhere with an Internet connection. No software installation is required
  • If your server gets damaged, we can deliver the replacement server to your office or you can deliver your backup disk to us and we will host your replacement server with your own data until you are ready. We will let you know how you can connect to it with your SPOK from home or anywhere you like
  • Once your office is ready, we will deliver the replacement server and you can continue to work.
