We have increased our patch deployment engine's
functionality by adding a new feature, Patch Doctor, to the St. Bernard
Managed Care desktop software. Patch Doctor runs system checks in the background
and performs the following tasks:
- Patch assessments
- Patch deployments
- Patch failure analysis
- Patch failure remediation
- Patch reporting
While
patch assessments and deployments were part of the existing patch engine,
Patch Doctor adds the ability to capture patch failure errors and apply
fixes. Upon reaching a failure, background scripts are automatically run
to redeploy the failed patch, resulting in a 90% to 95% success rate on
the second attempt. For the remaining percentage of failed patch deployments,
a ticket will be forwarded to your DCG engineer regarding necessary steps
toward resolving the issue. Our team of engineers has built a database
of documented steps to resolve patch failures the Patch Doctor cannot remediate.
St. Bernard
Managed Care is continually improving to ensure that our clients’ networks
and devices are efficiently monitored and managed. To learn about all of

An organization’s most important asset for
success and continuity is DATA. Don’t believe it? Unplug your computers
for one day.
Protecting data is an essential duty of any
organization’s executive. The technology to bullet proof data and quickly
restore operations in the event of any data loss is now available to all
organizations using technology previously available only to very large
organizations.
There are 5 essential practices to protect
and bullet-proof data:
1. Begin with the end in mind – be
able to restore one or multiple servers quickly
2. Backup data as close to the time
it is created as possible
3. Store the data locally so quick
restores are possible
4. Store the encrypted data in two
secure locations
5. Automate the process and monitor
it 24x7 to ensure that it is working perfectly
Dependable
Computer Guys, Inc. now provides data
protection and rapid recovery technology that continuously protects organizations’
most important asset – data!
A recent study discovered that, of companies
experiencing a “major loss” of computer records, 43 percent never reopened,
51 percent closed within two years of the loss, and a mere 6 percent survived
over the long-term For small and medium-sized businesses (SMB’s) in particular,
these statistics suggest the necessity of crafting a Business
Continuity Planning (BCP) strategy
grounded in a robust data backup and recovery solution.
Unlike larger enterprises, smaller companies
cannot afford optimal in-house strategies and solutions for BCP. These
companies are consequently at an elevated risk of being put out of business
due to a major loss of data. Loss of data could mean emails lost, accounting
data lost, patient or client files lost, company records lost, client legal
records or orders lost and so on. Our white paper located at http://www.dcgla.com/backup
evaluates the scope of BCP for smaller organizations with 10-350 employees,
by examining their challenges, range of existing solutions and their drawbacks.
We will also reveal how the Dependable SafeSTORTM solution overcomes
commonly faced challenges to offer the most comprehensive solution available.
Highlights of the Service:
A complete solution that is designed to reduce
any server down time with the use of a specialized back up technology and
a specially designed virtual server appliance.
Allows near real-time backups gathering new
data as frequent as every 15 minutes.
Includes secure storage at two offsite data
centers
Includes engineers monitoring, managing,
administering, and assessing the data 24x7
Provides a speedy disaster
recovery process
Captured data is encrypted so it is not accessible
to anyone, either on the NAS or at the remote storage facility without
the passkey.
Automated disk-to-disk processes eliminate
the poor reliability of on-site tape backup
Frequent on site backups, on site virtual
server, remote storage, disaster
recovery in the event of disaster and
24x7 management of the entire process are bundled at a price that is comparable
or cheaper than the overall cost of buying and managing tape backup.
Disk backup offers not only lower cost with
encryption, but additional advantages. In contrast to tape, disks are more
durable, last longer, withstand more overwriting and the accuracy of the
stored data is not dependent upon cleaning the recording heads, according
to Rinku Tyagi of PCQuest. Additionally, “When it comes to backing up
using disks, they are easier to manage. Disk
backup systems include management tools,
often browser-based, for you to easily configure settings and check status
from anywhere.”
HP enumerates other advantages of disk storage, noting that “Data is backed
up to disk much faster than tape, which translates to less impact on production
server availability. Disk is also a more reliable media than tape and less
prone to error, which translates to less failed recoveries.” Clipper Group
believes that the superior speed of disk storage is an enduring advantage:
“High performance disk will always be the choice for online applications
that require fast access.”
While disk offers advantages over tape, it is not a panacea. After installing
disk technology, Companies will still be responsible for monitoring and
managing backup processes, encrypting and safeguarding backed up onsite
and offsite data, restoring data to new hardware, and other functions.
Without implementing a layer of governance over disk-based data backup,
these Companies court the danger of failed backups and delayed restoration
of data, thereby jeopardizing their chances of successful recovery from
major data loss.
Smaller companies unable or unwilling to invest in the human expertise
and infrastructure support systems necessary for data-oriented BCP can
leverage Dependable SafeSTOR data backup
and recovery
solution.
