Oh yea, the price. Normal retail on this configuration from Data Robotics is $999, under a thousand dollars for 3TB of redundant storage. Our Price $949. That's less than 30 cents per meg of redundant and secure storage.

I know. I know. People are always harping about backups. We're always harping about backups. And there is a good reason why. Your data is your life. Your business. Your ability to communicate. Your ability to produce. Your you.

Every once and a while there's a great reminder of the consequences of not having a backup. Today it is these poor folks:

http://ma.gnolia.com/

Now I never used ma.gnolia.com but I've heard of it, and others I know used it. I say USED as they had no reliable backup of their servers. Servers went down. Data was lost... and now, by the looks of it, ma.gnolia.com is out of business.

A business with no backup plan is a time bomb. Ask a few questions of yourself, or your IT person.

When was our backup last run?
Where do the backups go?
Who is in charge of the backups?
How can I see that they're running properly?
Are they taken off site?
Where do they go?
What is the media?
What does it look like?
How long does it take?
What does it back up?
Do I need to do something different?

Ask yourself, as the business or data owner, what would it cost, in real terms, if I lost my data?

Would I travel the path of ma.gnolia.com?

If you don't know these answers, and your IT doesn't know these answers, call us. We'll find out the answers for you and work with you, your IT staff or anyone to get them.

While clarity has been around for 18 years now, we haven't stood
still. We've been working hard to implement the latest and greatest in
current technologies to better serve you, our customers. We've
implemented a state of the art Trixbox VOIP phone system, we're never
out of touch. We've implemented online ticketing to better track and
support our customer's technical issues. We've moved all of our
systems online for web based access. We've given all of our staff
iPhones for remote access.

These things are great, but without a great staff their just tools
sitting idle in a toolbox. Our current technical staff is our best ever.

Best of all, all of these systems are available for us to install for
you also. Call if you have any questions... and if you like what you
see, we'll do the same for you, and recommend us to others. As usual,
we share the wealth!
