LightBound, an Indiana managed server host, has expanded its service offereings to include virtual servers, backups, and storgae via its new SAN.
A storage area network (SAN) is an architecture to attach remote computer storage devices (such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes) to servers in such a way that the devices appear as locally attached to the operating system. Although the cost and complexity of SANs are dropping, they are still uncommon outside larger enterprises. A System Area Network (SAN) is a high-performance, connection-oriented network that can link a cluster of computers.
LightBound can use this new technology to better serve its customers using a wide variety of data recovery, disaster recovery, business continuity, and sever collocation needs
LightBound, a managed server hosting company in Indiana, offers server collocation. LightBound's data center can house mail servers, manage servers, and provide business continuity and disaster recovery options to help your business run smoothly.
Businesses have to plan for operating in event of a disruption in business operations at their main facilities. This planning is commonly referred to as business continuity. Since most business rely heavily on IT it would make sense to plan on having critical resources available over the Internet. Internet is highly available so employees can access when they are on the road traveling away from the office or working at home. To keep the business up and running it would pay off to have your critical information backed up using off site data backup service and using server collocation to have backup servers or primary servers This would surely help in data disaster recovery if the primary location was every effected by a power outage, damage of equipment, or theft. The data housed on equipment at the data center or back up service could be restored and get the business up and running at the main facility. LightBound can be a one stop shop for business continuity needs providing WAN, Indiana Server Hosting, and Internet Service Indiana.
LightBound is Indiana's leading Data Recovery and Disaster Recovery businesses. We can offer off site data backup services over your current Internet service connection. Most business continuity plans today must have a disaster recovery plan. For daily backup needs LightBound can use tape backups or full server backups using Arkeia.
A data center is where you can transfer your hardware and see them in a proper environment and infrastructure for a nominal charge. Consider the situation when you might be housing a server room or any other heavy equipment in your office premises. Such a setup might need proper temperature and humidity levels, and at the same time, a dust free environment. While it may be possible for you to provide this for the equipment that you may be working with, it may require a considerable amount of time and attention, not forgetting the monetary requirements.
However, co-location can save a lot of space, money and your time and can help with relocating your PBX and also help with you data disaster recovery plan. Also we can take daily back up services off your plate. This can be used by small business as well as large business in Indiana and thought the US.
Colocation is where servers are stored in a data center. The major difference is that instead of being leased, the servers are actually owned by the customers. Whereas a dedicated or managed host generally maintains the server, a colocation provider gives you access to the facility and allows you to manage your own hardware. The similarities include network connectivity, backup power sources and physical security. The greatest advantage of colocation is that it allows businesses to get the best of their servers who otherwise could not do so on their own. LightBound has one of Indiana's premier Data Centers and can also offer Data Disaster Recovery plans and Business Continuity advise..

If you're business relies on having high availability Internet service make sure that your Internet DSL Internet or High Speed Internet in Indiana provider has upstream redundant connections. Ask your Internet providers what business continuity and data disaster recovery plans they have to keep service running in event of upstream service interruption. There are many Internet providers that only have a single upstream connection to the Internet. There was a major outage in the area last week due to a fiber cut in a key communication line to an upstream Internet Provider in Chicago. This left many customers without Internet Service. Lightbound, which provides High Speed Internet in Indiana, has two 2.5 GB upstream connections, one to Herndon, Virginia and the other to Chicago. Even though the Chicago connection was cut there still was a full 2.5 GB connection to Virginia that provided Lightbound customers uninterrupted Internet Access Indiana. This is very important if you are using managed servers hosting or server collocation in a facility that needs always available High Speed Internet in Indiana.
The most common question that are customers are asking about today is higher bandwidth and faster connectivity for Internet Service Indiana or for companies to connect to Server Collocation in the data center. Many customers today have T1 circuits for Internet or Collocation and are pushing the circuits to the limits of their capacity. The cost of Ethernet circuits for 6 and 10 MB, and even 100 MB has decreased drastically compared to costs in the past. Customers are looking for the larger circuits as they are interested in moving their primary or backup servers to a high availability and highly secure data center that is staffed 24 x 7 x 365. They are also looking at disaster recovery and performing off site data back service. Customers are also moving to "cloud computing" applications such as Salesforce and need much larger bandwidth to handle the needs of increased Internet demand. An increase to an Ethernet circuit (typically at least 6 MB or above) versus a T1 circuit (1.5 MB) can result in a four fold increase in bandwidth. Customers can contract for Internet Service Indiana with a contracted Internet rate lower than the circuit bandwidth and get an advantage of bursting over the contracted rate on occasion without extra costs. Bursting is charged using what's known as 95th percentile billing which allows the customer to burst over contracted rate for 36 hours per month without additional charges. If you need High Speed Internet in Indiana contact us today to see how cost effective an Ethernet circuit can be to deliver your Internet or connect to our data center.

Hi everyone,
As we continue to install VOIP PBX systems one of the interesting things that we have noticed is that many customers have purchased unlicensed VOIP Asterisk system. We have noticed there are no easy upgrade paths for these customers. What seems to be happening with these unlicensed system is that when a new version of the software comes out, the customers have to reinstall the desktop software. This means lots of maintenance issues for the customers that want to run the newest software versions, for new features the customers want.
So as you go to look for VOIP Service Providers and Indiana PBX providers make sure you understand how they are going to upgrade the system without you have to touch every desktop. Also make sure they have Off Site Data Backup Service for this system and a good Disaster Recovery plan.
Many of these providers are not CLEC's so they can't help you with disaster recovery options for your dial tone.
Just some food for thought.
Have a great day.
