...an entire large database like SQL or your entire email server database as a result of corruption or accidental deletion, etc.

GDV will overnight a device to enable you to recover your lost data. If that's not fast enough, GDV can bring a replica of the affected server live in our data center for you to use until your data can be restored. This is usually done in MINUTES.

GDV will help you recover quickly from the local appliance. A 50GB SQL database would usually restore in under 1 hour. If your data is larger, or that is not fast enough, we can bring the server replica live in our data center in less than 1 HOUR.

...an entire server through a software problem such as a virus.

Using a process requiring less than 1 HOUR, GDV will bring a replica of the affected server live in our data center for you to use until your data can be restored locally. Plus we'll overnight media to use to restore the server.

GDV will help you recover from the local appliance. There are several recovery options, including restoring the data locally, using the backup appliance in place or bringing the server replica live in our data center. Restore times of MINUTES to less than 1 HOUR are typical.

...an entire server through a hardware problem.

Using a process requiring less than 1 HOUR, GDV will quickly bring a replica of the affected server live in our data center for you to use until your data can be restored locally. Once your hardware is repaired we'll overnight media to use to restore the server.

If spare or replacement hardware is available - even if not identical hardware, GDV will help you recover from the local appliance quickly. For example a 100GB server would usually restore in under 2 hours. If hardware is not available, or the data is bigger or you just need it faster, GDV will, within MINUTES bring a replica of the affected server live in our data center for you to use until your hardware is ready. Once your hardware is ready we'll overnight media to use to restore the server.
