Proof-of-Concept Testing
|
| In continuity and recovery
– particularly print-to-mail – it’s
good to have a plan in place, but it’s imperative
that the plan works smoothly and effectively when
needed. Mail-Gard’s unique proof-of-concept testing
provides you with the security of knowing that your files
can be transmitted to our facility and that your critical
applications can be recovered in a time frame that’s
acceptable to you. The bottom line is, the plan has been
tested – before you need it – so it works
when you need it. |

On-Demand DR™
|
Designed to enable Mail-Gard
to operate as a true extension of our clients’ print
production operations, On-Demand DR™ represents
print-to-mail’s first multi-location solution. Unifying
multi-platform environments between your company’s
print operation and our remote recovery facility, we are
able to receive information directly from your data center
via TCP/IP communications.
On-Demand DR offers control of your print-to-mail applications
by enabling you to view your print production, store printer
resources at our recovery facility and even simultaneously
copy data to both the print and production queues for
uninterrupted protection. Recovery can begin within minutes
instead of days or hours. |
