Optimal Solutions, Inc. (Harris Corporation) - Jeffrey Vandiver Supervisor of IT

What I appreciate the most from NetStandard is their customer service. When you are in a crunch, their staff will help in anyway possible. They are fast, courteous, all combined with quality expertise.


Fidelity NIS – Tim Harrison, Executive Vice President

 “We called NetStandard at 8:30am and they immediately committed to providing us with power and bandwidth from their Internet Data Hosting Center .  We moved two full cabinets of servers into their Data Center and had them functional the same day.  Their team of engineers acted like partners with my own engineers and pitched in more than we ever expected.”


Horsepower Control Systems Inc. - David Chapman

"I could surely provide positive examples of our experience with NetStandard but the long and short of it is, I have been approached by more ISP's than I can recall, all trying to sell their systems and the features they can provide, but when challenged with the service and support provided to Horsepower Control Systems by NetStandard, none stack up."


Intermodal Marketing Inc. – Murray Messner, CFO

“I especially want to thank your NOC for the personal service they provided.  They took the time to evaluate our needs, specify the appropriate equipment and be on-site during the switchover.  It was this type of dedication we were looking for in a vendor when we began our search to select an IT Consultant.”


LookandFeel New Media - Sam Freiberg, Manager of Information Systems

“We are very happy with our decision to use NetStandard as our data center. Your services continue to be worth the investment in assurance for being online 24x7x365.”

Disaster Recovery Solutions

NetStandard is an Authorized Agility Partner - View Disaster Recovery Packages

It used to be that having a secondary physical site prepared for your business in the event of a natural or man-made disaster could be available only to larger companies.  It has now become mandatory for most financial companies to have a level of backup for disaster recovery.  NetStandard has solutions that are affordable and make sense for large and small business.

It is no secret that NetStandard has one of the most technologically advanced colocation data center in the Midwest.  Advanced facilities specifications such as redundant power, redundant internet feeds, fortified facilities, and remote online backup systems provide the ideal infrastructure to develop a Disaster Recovery plan that suits your business requirements.

RTO vs. RPO vs. Budget $ trade-offs as one size does not fit all…

  • Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
    • How long can you afford to be without your data?
      • What are downtime costs?
      • What are downtime implications?
  • Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
    • How much data can you afford to lose?
  • Data Classification
    • How critical is your data to the operational and financial viability of the company?
      • All data is not created equal
  • Budget
    • How much money can you afford to spend?

Why is NetStandard's Data Center infrastructure a good fit to deploy?

Since we are a Colocation data center, all of the primary attributes for an effective disaster recovery site are present. The same internet and power redundancies that make our datacenter rock solid can be utilized to insure constant electricity and connectivity for a secondary facility office that is located in some of our empty building space.

Most Clients that contract for these services already host their servers within our data center. So if a disaster does force them out of their primary location, it's very convenient to be able to setup your secondary within the same building that your network infrastructure already exists.

NetStandard also can aid in the procurement of just about any type of hardware or software that you might need. We have partnerships with major distribution centers to obtain anything in the technology field, and we know how to get items fast so that you can put them into production as quickly as possible.

Who aids in the planning and setup of these disaster recovery services?

NetStandard was a technology services and consulting firm long before we built our data center and began offering hosting services.  The Network Operating Center has certified engineers that will manage and maintain your server equipment 24/7/365.  Experienced consultative disaster recovery planning specialists are on staff to engage you to listen to your needs and design a plan that will support your company's DR requirements.

NetStandard is an authorized Agility Partner offering comprehensive DR support that includes mobile office space and the use of NetStandard's N+1 redundant datacenter facility.


Is it difficult and time consuming to develop these disaster recovery plans?

It does depend on the organization and how complete they wish to replicate their normal working office environment, but a typical plan that is for minimal staff and implementation can sometimes be quoted the same day the request is made. But it is something that is extremely variable depending o the needs of the client. This is no challenge for NetStandard. Just schedule an appointment and one of our sales and technical staff will meet with you to discuss your options.

How is pricing figured for disaster recovery?

On paper it looks a little complex but it actually isn't It is made up of three fees that are each paid at different times.

The first is the retainment of services fee which is an ongoing monthly fee that a client pays to have the rights to utilize the facility in the time of a disaster. The second is the site execution fee. This fee is only paid upon execution of the actual disaster plan. This fee is a large one-time payment that typically covers the cost of all hardware, software and setup services. Lastly is the daily use of the facility fee.

This is usually paid after the client stops their utilization of the disaster recovery site. It is a daily use fee that is paid in total at the end of the facility stay or in 30 day increments, whichever comes sooner. The only other fees are testing fees.

Most clients lie to test certain aspects of the disaster recovery plan every 6-18 months just to make sure things are operating smoothly and as expected. This fee is variable depending on the aspects of the plan that are demonstrated at each testing time.
