CMS Products Announces ABS Instant Server Recovery Solution

CMS Products, Inc. has released its family of Instant Server Recovery solutions for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) running Microsoft’s Foundation or Small Business Server operating system.

Intended as a tool to ensure business continuity for those operating SMBs, CMS Products has developed two ABS Server solutions, including a single drive desktop unit available in one or two TB capacities and a two-drive desktop unit with support for RAID 1 mirroring technology, available in 1 and 2 TB capacities (capacity with mirroring implemented). The two-drive RAID 1 system offers easily removable hard drives, w hich facilitates the offsite archiving of important business data with support for the automatic rebuilding of a new hard drive inserted into the system. Both the single and dual drive units support both the USB 2.0 interface as well as the faster eSata connection.

In the event of a server failure or crash, both the single-drive and the RAID solutions support CMS Products’ patent-pending Instant Server Recovery feature, which allows users to restart their Windows server directly from the external ABS hardware via either the USB 2.0 or eSATA connection. Instant Server Recovery provides invaluable insurance against the interruption of business activity due to a system crash.

The Instant Server Recovery solutions are powered by BounceBack Server Edition software, which provides full server backup, including the operating system and applications. The BounceBack Server version offers many valuable features including government-grade AES-256 bit data encryption, complete SQL database and MS Exchange support, two-button restore of the failed system hard drive, QuickRestore file and folder recovery, automatic unattended backup, network backup, versioning and much more.

"When SMBs are depending on their servers to do business, even one failure can be disastrous to the business’s bottom line," said Ken Burke, president of CMS Products. "Because BounceBack Server Edition creates a mirror image of an entire business server on the external ABS backup drive, in the event of a server failure, users quickly and easily can restart the server directly from the external ABS backup drive. Utilizing these instant recovery products is just like ‘business insurance’ for an SMB, avoiding downtime and invaluable data loss and possibly saving the business from catastrophic consequences."

ABS Server Edition products are available on the company’s web site and from resellers throughout the United States.
