Yes! The result of not having backups is like not having car insurance for your Ferrari and crashing it! When everything is running fine you don’t think about it but when something happens there is no going back. All of Pegasus Technology’s clients have backups running, these are taken on-site and then replicated off-site for another layer of protection. To give you an example; On-site backups are used to restore a deleted file and the off-site backups are used for a full server restore after a server failure (disaster recovery plan).
The technologies we user are dependent on our customers requirements. We use disk2disk and replication solutions from Arcserve, snapshot technologies from Netapp, Bacula as a System backup.
Yes we have a number of clients that operate across multiple sites.

We sure can! And we can do one better, we can purchase the hardware for you too. We can source hardware from a wide range of vendors and prefer Fujitsu and HP for the majority of items. We will set it up and configure it at a fixed cost. The most important thing is that the hardware is right for the purpose you need to fulfill.
We use a ticketing system called Service Desk, this turns emails in to tickets for the engineers to work on and deal with your issue. If you need urgent support then we recommend users to call in on our direct number, we will create the ticket and work on solving your issue. All tickets are logged and you will be provided with a ticket number which you can reference when requesting more information. We also provide our clients with the ability to login to their own portal to view and check on all tickets, open and closed, for your company.
