Business continuity solution

Relocating a server is a complex process and it is essential that your consider back up technology to keep your business running during the often problematic time of powering down a server.

Why would you consider a Virtual Server?

If you attempt to relocate your server and there are problems when the server powers back up following a shut down, you may have to order a new box, which may take time to be delivered.  Your company would be left without its essential IT system for this period. 

The new box may not be compatible with your existing software, which may cause further delays.

Pickfords' Virtual Server

Pickfords can provide a virtual server, installed at your location which will back up your essential data, prior to the powering down of your server.

The new server can then be relocated.  The virtual server is a cost effective solution and can be left for two weeks following the relocation, as back up.

A Virtual Server is not an expensive option - you can protect your business during the disruption of a workplace change  project for as little as £5,000.
