• Case Study: Vedder Price
  
  Ensuring the security of any business’s communication systems is paramount, but perhaps more so for a major law firm. Imagine the frustration for a firm with a world-class reputation in finance, banking and investment services. There’s no time for downtime. This case study weighs the pros and cons of relinquishing control of a company’s IT systems and trusting a “safe-site” data center. The law firm had previously backed up data at one of its other offices and had even considered a nearby center. Attendance at a marketing seminar put them in touch with GramTel, with a data center “close enough, but not too close.”
  
  
• Case Study: Davenport University
  
  With 22 locations in two states, Davenport University prepares its students for high-demand jobs on-site and online. Online downtime for students and staff is not acceptable. This case study follows the thought process of the school’s Director of Network Computing and Telecommunications as he weighs alternative IT solutions, while making sure that his staff is supportive of working with professionals at an outside data center. The choice to work with GramTel came down to the company’s problem/solution products and services, including a proactive disaster recovery plan. University personnel cite the team approach GramTel used to address all audiences.
  
  
• G-Vault: GramTel’s proprietary methodology for data backup
  
  G-Vault is GramTel’s proprietary methodology for electronic vaulting data backup, where backup is compressed, encrypted and sent directly to a GramTel recovery center, using a tapeless format. If a tape becomes necessary, however, it can be provided. It’s an enterprise-level data center solution that’s safe, secure and compliant.

• GramTel: Disaster Recovery safeguards critical data and keeps you profitable
  
  GramTel offers a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) that assesses the risk of operational interruption and the resulting financial exposure that may occur, and provides a proactive/preemptive Business Continuity Plan (BCP) that anticipates and reacts quickly to a disaster. Those key elements, along with GramTel’s Disaster Recovery services, are focused exclusively on prevention and recovery – anything that damages hardware or software and makes it unusable or inaccessible.
  
  
• GramTel takes proactive approach to safeguard universities’ data systems
  
  GramTel has guided some of the largest colleges and universities throughout the country in their decision to use an off-site backup facility for their important data. Regardless of the school’s size, a workable – and affordable – plan can be put in place. All successful plans start with an assessment of a school’s current IT situation, and that is where our process begins.
