SAN DIEGO, Calif. – It’s said there are only two kinds of high-tech people in the world: Those who’ve experienced a catastrophic data loss … and those who are about to.

Companies and individuals who rely on technology for their livelihood can’t afford to take risks with data security, yet too often data is the last asset people worry about protecting until they’re staring a potential disaster in the face.

“Any company earning a living from a website must have a standby backup system in place to prepare for any unfortunate situations that may cause damage or permanent data loss,” said Michelle Lockhart, vice president of sales for online business solutions provider Red Apple Media. “Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, technical failures…. there are myriad circumstances that can devastate an online business.”

Red Apple offers a range of services to help its clients prepare for emergencies. One of mainstays of the company’s systems, Lockhart said, is a triple-redundancy Media Vault data center. Within that framework, clients confer with a comprehensive customer service department to determine the best backup plan for their unique needs.

The “triple” part of triple redundancy is important, Lockhart noted. If one circuit goes down for any reason, another immediately takes over, leaving the system dual-redundant at all times. Red Apple’s Media Vault is equipped with a massive battery backup system to provide power until a generator kicks in. The generator carries enough fuel to operate non-stop for seven days. As further protection, the generator is guaranteed by a contract that replenishes the fuel on the same frequency schedule as local hospitals. A backup generator also is in place, just in case.

A division of dotCOM host, Red Apple Media provides managed web hosting and media delivery services, cloud hosting, dedicated servers and e-commerce packages for clients at all levels of business. Live customer support is available 24/7.
