"In addition, our production servers now reside in a top tier data center, with SLA-backed guarantees of 100 percent uptime. Q9 is providing us with an environment that gives us a distinct competitive advantage and the ability to recover quickly in the event of a disaster."
Q9 offers shared and dedicated backup services that enable customers to rapidly restore data, server configurations and applications. Q9?s managed tape backup service includes daily backups to an automated tape library system. Its 24-hour support enables rapid restoration in the event of data corruption, system failure or an area-wide disaster.
