• Privacy
  With new privacy laws and compliance regulations, data security has grown in significance over the past few years. Each enterprise will have to decide on the viability of handing over all company data to a third party. Aegisys can live up to enterprise privacy, security and ISO compliance concerns.
  
• Pricing
  There are innumerable vendors occupying the space and just as many pricing plans. All vendors are not alike. Aegisys meets and exceeds all NERC SIP compliance requirements that can be met by any vendor. Our value is in the integrity of your data.
  
• Speed
  Don't expect online service providers to speed up enterprise backups. Both the enterprise bandwidth speed and the size of the files being backed up will affect the time it takes to complete backups and restores. Aegisys HOT SITE MIRROR servers data is as they occur  in most cases, therefore making our process one of the least intrusive to your bandwidth on the market.
• Availability
  All vendors guarantee a certain amount of availability, for example, 99.9% uptime. Aegisys maintains this level of uptime and works very closely with our Bandwidth partners to ensure redundant paths for maximum performance and uptime.
