Implement your backup plan with expertise from a consultant.
An effective backup and storage system should fit your existing workflow. A consultant can customize a solution that's based on how you do business, providing start-to-finish service that includes:

• Understanding your business infrastructure
  To customize your solution, a consultant will consider factors such as the amount of data you accumulate, network upload speed, and existing storage capacity. If you work with large files, such as digital video or graphics, you may require additional storage space and compression tools to reduce your file sizes. For added security, your consultant may suggest file encryption tools or other resources you previously hadn't considered.
• Installing additional storage devices
  If you need additional space for keeping backups or storing archives, your consultant may recommend a high capacity server, such as Xserve with Xserve RAID. If your business has a large network with growing shared storage needs, your solution may include Xsan, Apple's SAN (Storage Area Network) file system, which allows multiple computers to access terabytes of storage concurrently over high-speed Fibre Channel.
• Configuring backup software
  Your solution will rely on software to automate and simplify the backup process. There are many solutions available for the Mac. Your consultant will recommend the best software for your needs.
