QuorumLabs Brings New Level of Online Backup and Business Continuity to the SMB

November 03, 2009

FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–QuorumLabs, Inc. today announced onQ™ – a new business continuity solution that provides instant, One-Click Recovery™ from any storage, server or entire site failure. The onQ solution is the first disaster recovery solution to deliver easy, fast and reliable business continuity at a cost that meets the budget requirements of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). onQ effectively fills the gap between simple backup and expensive, resource intensive, enterprise-class solutions.

“Most businesses would be seriously impacted by a system failure,” said Robert Habibi, president and CEO, QuorumLabs. “And backup alone isn’t enough – it only protects data, but doesn’t allow applications to get back online quickly.

Our onQ solution handles every part of the recovery process, including those difficult and time-consuming steps that our competition expects customers to handle on their own. And we achieve this with a solution that is easy to install, manage, and priced at a point that SMBs can afford.”

“Business interruptions are an even greater hazard to SMBs than to large enterprises, because they have fewer reserves to rely on,” said Bob Blakley, vice president and research director for industry analyst firm the Burton Group. “Unfortunately, business continuity has been difficult for most mid-sized companies because of the expense of solutions and the requirement for in-house IT staff. QuorumLabs’ offering is aimed at addressing these important SMB issues.”

QuorumLabs onQ Solution

The QuorumLabs onQ solution gives SMBs an option that goes beyond online backup and makes complete business continuity easy and affordable, providing a complete, replicated server infrastructure. It achieves this by integrating a number of sophisticated technologies into a simple to operate, turnkey appliance. The appliance maintains ready-to-run, up-to-date virtual machine clones of all critical systems, and integrates all hardware, storage and software needed to create, update, manage and run multiple virtual “Recovery Nodes” simultaneously.

The onQ solution is:

• Fast – instant recovery
• Provable – self-test at any time
• Simple – one-click installation, one-click management, one-click recovery
• Elegant – all-in-the-box with a single browser interface
• Flexible – provides for both local and remote recovery
• Comprehensive – everything needed to completely recover from any storage, system or site outage

“No product exists today that’s as comprehensive or as easy to use as the onQ business continuity solution,” said Stephen Parsonage, managing director, The I.T. Consultancy Group Pty Limited. “The only way to replicate what QuorumLabs has done is to integrate a number of individual components, which would require a $100K infrastructure at one site and $100K infrastructure at another site. QuorumLabs has engineered out the cost and complexity from traditional solutions and created a simple, turnkey appliance for a fraction of the cost.”

“QuorumLabs has created a turnkey solution for disaster recovery that doesn’t require IT to operate,” said Casey Lee, CTO, First National Bank. “Simply click a button and watch it run.”

Price and Availability

The onQ solution is available immediately in dual-appliance configurations starting at $20,000, or via monthly subscription model. Visit www.QuorumLabs.com to find your local reseller.
