CMS Products, a provider of data security, backup, disaster recovery and content management technologies, has released a family of ‘Instant Server Recovery’ offerings and software designed for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) running Microsoft’s Foundation or Small Business Server operating system.

The company claims that its BounceBack Instant Server Recovery offerings ensure business continuity during server hard drive failures, or data loss. It consists of a two-drive desktop storage device with support for RAID 0 &1 technology available in 2TB or 4TB capacities, and includes removable hard drives, which facilitate offsite archiving of business data.

CMS said that its new offering enables users to restart their server directly from the backup hardware. The offerings are powered by the BounceBack Server Edition software, which provides full server backup, including the operating system, applications and user data.

Ken Burke, president of CMS Products, said: "BounceBack Server Edition creates a mirror image of the entire business server, and should the server fail, users quickly and easily can restart the server directly from the external BounceBack instant recovery device.

"Utilising these instant recovery products is like having ‘business continuity insurance’ for an SMB, avoiding downtime, costly data loss and possibly saving the business from catastrophic consequences."
