DRworx is a powerful backup solution for Windows Servers. It can back up your data in three ways; on-premise only, cloud only, or a hybrid on-premise and cloud, depending on your needs. It comes preloaded with all backup, recovery and virtualization software you need to recover files or servers in the event of an emergency. It’s a perfect complement to your existing backups solution because of its ability to provide near-term, near-line recovery for a single file, database or mail message, up to restoring a mirror image of an on-premise or cloud production server.
Why DRworx?
For many IT departments, backing up to tape, cloud or external hard drives seems to be adequate. But when a real-life need arises to recover files, server images, or other valuable information quickly, the needed results are usually not there. Faster and more secure recovery solutions are needed in the new world of non-stop business that is threatened by cyber-attacks on backups.
If you house backup data at an off-site storage facility, you have a good air gap, but that is a slow recovery proposition. If you store data locally, you are at great risk of corruption during an event. Unless you do test restores regularly, you never really know if it will work when needed. DRworx is designed to meet these challenges.
Faster than legacy backup solutions, DRworx provides unparalleled ransomware protection and disaster recovery over tape and other cloud backup solutions. DRworx has an air gapping feature that adds significant security over other systems that can be compromised by network shares and standard administrative credentials. DRworx files can be recovered and spun up quickly when you have hardware and other common failures.
You need a fast solution to retrieving vital data and resuming operations as quickly as possible. The penalty for extended downtime starts at lost productivity and revenue, and in extreme cases, ends when the business closes forever.

Smoke testing is a term used to describe the testing process for servers after patches are applied. 
Estimating an average time for patching servers and PCs can be a bit tricky. It can vary from one month to the next, depending upon the number and complexity of the patches released by your software vendors. You must consider all versions of operating systems and have a complete inventory of all your application software to do this job correctly. Our experience has shown that manual patching of systems takes on average of about 1.5 hours each.
This is a basic cost calculator for you to compute your typical monthly cost for patching your servers, PCs, laptops, tablets and associated application software. It also forms the basis for you to begin calculating your Return on Investment for software patching, or for comparison with alternatives to the manual process of patching operating systems and application software—such as Patch Management as a Service, also known as Vulnerability Management as a Service.
