PhantomForce is a service that allows an industry certified Systems Administrator to remotely monitor, troubleshoot, and/or administer your computer systems and disaster recovery or redundancy solutions. This service can be especially useful for firms that are serious about disaster prevention. By electing to use Circadian Force’s PhantomForce service, a disaster can be prevented before it even happens. Circadian Systems Administrators are always standing by to provide assistance as your company deems necessary.

Additionally, through our PhantomForce Service, we may be able to conduct a restoration without even leaving the office. This allows your company to leverage a knowledgeable resource familiar with Disaster Recovery without having to bear the expense of a full-time employee.

All of this can be done transparently and without impacting your day to day business. PhantomForce can be used for:

• Verification of the Electronic Vaulting solution

• Data efficacy verification

• Performing tasks on a daily check list for a server or series of servers

• Remote optimization of databases and file systems

• System administration and troubleshooting

• Off-loading or outsourcing IT tasks to a certified professional

• Keeping Service Packs and Security Updates up-to-date on servers

Welcome to the next level of disaster recovery – “Bare Metal” restorations have arrived.

Take advantage of “Bare Metal” imaging solutions for a solid, complete backup of any server, workstation, or laptop. By creating images of your hard drives and/or drive arrays, you maximize the effectiveness of your backups and minimize downtime during a restoration. This takes backing up files and databases to a new level – with RolloutForce, the Circadian team can literally back up a mirror image of your company’s entire server.

In addition to capturing an entire server and storing it as an image file, our firm will write restoration scripts that are specific to your organization. This allows you to restore an entire server using the Circadian RolloutForce solution using an automated restoration process.

Overall, RolloutForce reduces the time it takes your firm to restore or recover a computer system. By leveraging this technology, even a novice can restore a complete server within hours after a total system failure. For companies that value the sanctity of their servers and cannot afford days or weeks of downtime, this service is a must.

Your 911 Emergency Response Team

Should you have critical issues on-site, we can send our technical representatives to your place of business to address the issues. Circadian Force is your premier disaster recovery team. We are the 911-rescue team of data and information, and we bring to your business a vast set of tools and knowledge to recover your data as quickly as possible. The following options are available from our On-Deck suite, should you opt for this service line:

Workforce pool
We give your company direct access to our pool of resources on a continual or as-needed basis. We can customize your needs to have a Disaster Recovery Specialist on-site some or all of the time to ensure your data’s safety, or we can have resources On-Deck to address a catastrophe, should one occur. Given the latter scenario, our team of experts will travel on-site to your location to assist in restoring your system to its original state. Our On-Deck workforce can even troubleshoot your servers remotely via our PhantomForce service to facilitate a speedy repair should the need arise.

Server pool
Circadian can set up and configure servers at our DataCenter as secondary systems should your primary system fail. In this scenario, we can rebuild your servers at our off-site DataCenter location and drop ship a fully functioning system to your door for installation. For complex installs consisting of multiple servers, our On-Deck resources can rebuild your system and arrive on-site to install it. This allows you to have off-site secondary systems ‘ready to go’ without incurring the initial costs of the servers or the ongoing costs of maintenance. This insures the safety of your proprietary information and the sanctity of your network configuration without the need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on duplicate servers. 

Workstation pool
A business cannot run successfully without workstations for the end users and power users, so Circadian offers a safety net in this department. Given a complete backup using DataForce or RolloutForce our staff can completely restore a workstation within hours and drop ship it to your business immediately. This allows your employees to be immediately productive without the concerns of massive reinstallations and lost data. Ultimately, your corporation’s MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) is reduced and lost profitability is minimized. 

Laptop pool
Laptops are often difficult and tedious to restore. However, by having a laptop pool on hand with Circadian, we can provide laptops to your on-the-road employees within hours. This allows them to continue to be productive even given pressing deadlines such as a presentation to a potential client. If the data is lost, a restoration can be done through the DataForce service. If the entire laptop is lost, Circadian can rebuild the laptop and have it sent to your employee on-the-road immediately.

The On-DeckForce Service Benefits

Having On-DeckForce at your fingertips can increase the reliability of your business and increase your bottom line. By increasing reliability, your company maximizes savings in IT costs and minimizes lost profits due to failures. Prior to engaging in any of these options for On-Deck resources, however, our staff promises to sign Non-Disclosure agreements and Confidentiality agreements. With Circadian Force you can be confident in the confidentiality of your data.

Replication of data and information occurs continuously over any shared or private IP-based LAN, WAN, or SAN connection with this service. In the event of a disaster, key fail over capabilities allow a secondary server to stand in automatically for the primary server. Operations resume with minimal interruption and confusion on the stand-by system. This allows your entire business to keep running even in the face of a major catastrophe. Should the primary site go down, GeoForce automatically activates the Circadian secondary site which allows your business to keep functioning normally. This service is similar to cluster redundancy configured across the Internet.
