Hot Topics
The hot topic of conversation for our clients has been Disaster Recovery. This of course has been brought about by the earthquakes in Christchurch, which have left a lot of businesses struggling with little or no access to their computers and servers.
Quay has several cost effective options for disaster recovery including a great off site backup service called BlackBox Backup http://www.blackboxbackup.co.nz/. Just $0.80 cents a GB secures an off site backup service which stores data both here in Wellington, and in Auckland. Quay has been so impressed by the robustness of this service that we have implemented this as part of our own disaster recovery plan.
Also in our DB portfolio is Shadow Protect, a very cost effective piece of software that once installed on your Server (Desktop options also available) will back up to an external USB drive or PC. The software creates an image of your server/desktop that can then be installed to dissimilar hardware or booted as a virtual machine, making it extremely effective. The engineers have been testing this and can recover a server in under half a day.
If you are unsure about your DR plan (perhaps not sure where to start?) or have one and just want to run through it, don't hesitate to give us a call. There are loads of options and we understand that every business is different, and not all require the "end of the earth" solution. We can find a solution that you are comfortable with and that suits your budget.

Also joining the team is Cheryl MacMillan - Cheryl is joining our Engineering team, leaving the Army after working with them for five years. As you know the Army is a lot larger than the small to medium businesses that Quay specialises in, but having worked in East Timor etc, Cheryl is very quick on her feet and is taking to Quay and our clients like a duck to water.

Wellington After-Care Association
We have chosen to support Wellington After-Care as our charity of choice and we aim to make sure that they have all the tools that they need. This locally based charity does an amazing job. They operate a number of community-based services that assist adults with intellectual and/or psychiatric disabilities, by providing appropriate learning programmes, activities and support. Their programmes are based on expressed clients needs and encourage independence for a better quality of life in the area of leisure, home and work. Altogether, Wellington After-Care provides seven suburban-bases services, three Mental Health Centres - new Avenues, Horizons, and Connect South, two Day Services for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities, Ace House and Thumbs UP and a Transition Service - Expect Success. Mardy Straeter (Service Manager) said recently that we had saved their bacon.
