Data Storage Solutions @ Home
Our data storage solutions aims to achieve one or more of the following:
- Central backup solution for all Windows, Mac and other computer systems in your household
- Central storage of music, photos, videos and other digital content for safe keeping or shared access by others in the house via controlled access
- Media storage and streaming server accessible by DLNA, CIFS and other network based media players such as your Blu-Ray player, SmartTV and other media streamers
These are just some of the basic ways of storing your digital media and other important personal information.
In the business world IT departments spend a lot of time and money ensuring the business critical data is backed up daily and to keep offsite copies of this data. At home we seldom realise that it only takes a simple virus, hard drive crash or loss of a machine as a result of a robbery or accidentally misplacing your laptop on a holiday trip to lose all or a large chuck of your digital memory with little or no way of ever getting them back. It might be too costly or too much hassle to implement a business style solution for the average household, but we can start by backing up each machine in the household on a regular basis applying a very basic principle of always ensuring that you data (all your valuable data) is in 2 places. This equates to having a basic backup and is more than what most people have today.
Our aim is to get you going with a backup solution and to explain the advantages to backups and then also the different types of backups that will include network attached storage (NAS), USB drives, files servers like Windows Home Server or other equivalent types of cost effective servers all the way to the different cloud based backup solutions. Not all of these solutions are suitable for every household and we need to look at your data requirements and many other factors to ensure we offer you the best advice based on the current and upcoming technologies.

Data Storage Solutions @ Work
We totally understand how critical business data is to every business large or small, but sadly few businesses fully appreciate how important their data is until they actually lose some or all of their data and we aim to educate businesses and offer them solutions that work for their business.
We do not just offer backup solutions, but also advise our customers on the options available to them to give everyone in their often virtual teams access to the same business data securely. Thanks to many cloud based offerings small businesses can now get the benefit of hosted email and collaboration environments that were historically limited to large businesses with large data centres. Nowadays you can operate as a single person and still have equivalent hosted services like your 1000+ user competitor with wireless synchronization of email, contacts and your calendar just to mention the basics. We want to help you run your business more efficiently and ensure that your data is always securely backed up in as many places as you feel comfortable with.
