MUSA, a leading provider of information research products and consulting services to companies requiring value-driven disaster recovery and business continuance solutions, today announced the immediate availability of MUSA's Managed Disaster Recovery and failover location powered by Veeam.

"At MUSA, we've made an investment as time goes by and effort to deploy a Managed Disaster Recovery failover location powered by Veeam: Backup and Replication," explained Josh Campbell, Senior Solutions Consultant at MUSA Innovation Partners. "We are the first Veeam Service Provider to offer a public location for companies to back up their mission-critical VMware virtual machines. After all of a disaster, we'll bring our customers' servers online at our failover location in a SAS 70 Type II datacenter to provide them with access to their business-critical information during they return functionality to their production environments. The power of Veeam paired with the experience of our trained technologists allows us to offer our customers a value-driven business continuance plan in other words safe and secure, and to provide backups that are quickly recoverable."

Douglas Lantigua, Principal of MUSA Innovation Partners, continued, "One of the most challenging aspects of developing, implementing and maintaining a business continuity plan is that the costs often overshadow the risks.

Developed with techniques in alignment with our Validated Cloud® solution and leveraged by Veeam policies and procedures, we're able to offer a complete disaster recovery solution for VMware virtual environments - a in point of fact cost-effective option for companies looking to stay below the aforementioned 6% best practices threshold. In an effort to demonstrate our continued commitment to data security, we constantly undergo external audits of our security procedures to ensure that our environment can successfully withstand regional disasters."
