Delbar Products Selects DBSi for Disaster Recovery Services
Leading Manufacturer Stresses Flexibility
BETHLEHEM, PA, October 26, 2004 - DBSi, a provider of comprehensive disaster recovery services, announced today that it has been selected by Delbar Products Inc. to provide business continuity solutions, including multi-platform hotsite recovery and network backup capability.
Delbar Products Inc., a major worldwide supplier of mirrors to the automotive industry with headquarters in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, will utilize multiple AS/400 and Intel-based systems located at DBSi for disaster recovery operations. This service will allow Delbar to continue service to their customers, supply chain, and manufacturing plants via an Internet VPN in time of a disaster. As part of their disaster recovery plan, Delbar Products will also utilize DBSi services to restore these systems prior to Delbar Products’ arrival at the DBSi recovery center.
Steve King, director of information services for Delbar Products Inc., comments that “DBSi offers a much more flexible approach to disaster recovery services than our previous vendor and that flexibility was a main reason for selecting them as our provider. In addition to more than sufficient rehearsal test time, DBSi will also preload our environments to both save us time in testing, and to enable Delbar Products to meet our recovery time objective in the event of a disaster. We also appreciate some of their contract commitments such as no annual price increases or automatic contract renewals, geographic separation of clients to reduce the probability of a multiple disaster impacting us, and our ability to upgrade or downgrade our recovery service level over the life of the agreement”.
According to Bill Bachenberg, chief executive officer of DBSi, “we are very pleased to have been selected by Delbar Products Inc., as their disaster recovery provider. Multi-platform environments are our specialty, and we think that Delbar Products will benefit greatly by having DBSi restore their systems as part of our managed continuity program”.
Part of any effective disaster recovery plan includes contingency actions for restoration of systems, should operations personnel be impacted by a disaster. DBSi’s managed continuity service ensures that skilled technicians will have the necessary knowledge of a client’s environment to step in and handle many of the resumption activities if a client’s team is delayed or otherwise unavailable for disaster recovery operations.
