Insurance Cannot Restore Your Company's Data

Natural disasters, malicious employees, and hackers can cause serious damage to a business.  Even though insurance can replace a building or computers, it cannot restore your data.  Industry experts say that more than 50% of all businesses shut down within one year after losing their data.

The good news is Lanspeed offers a cost-effective, automated and reliable solution for protecting your data.  Our new solution called "Smart IT Backup & Disaster Recovery" provides the following features:

  • Frequent backups as often as every 15 minutes
  • Seamless off-site backup storage
  • Bare-Metal server restores to dissimilar hardware
  • Virtualize a server in minutes to recover from hardware failures

To learn more about our new backup solution, contact us at 877-682-9981 x102.


Save on IT Costs and Improve Productivity

In today's uncertain economic times, companies are looking to lower costs and increase efficiency.  One way to accomplish this is to know exactly what your IT support costs are going to be each month, regardless of the amount of support needed.  Lanspeed's "Smart IT Service" provides your company with a fixed-fee IT support plan.  In addition to unlimited IT support, Lanspeed includes 24/7 monitoring of your computers and network equipment, ensures your backups are working correctly, provides desktop and server anti-virus, and a quarterly IT business review meeting to discuss your goals and business needs.

If you would like more information about this new service, we encourage you to contact us at 877-682-9981.
