GBData are proud to announce that for a second time in 12 months they have increased the available bandwidth.

The amount of bandwidth directly effects the speed of backups and especially restores.  As the number of clients increases this bandwidth should be increased to void congestion at peak periods, and for clients to be able to restore at a resonable speed.

One of the best ways to see how professional a backup service provider is, is to ask how fast the “pipe” is, both in and out of their facility.

GBData are committed to continuously improving their service, and this includes upgrading their bandwidth before congestion becomes an issue.

Existing clients will notice an improvement, particularly in the speed of restores, which should now be several orders of speed faster

GBData are proud to announce that they have achieved the prestigious ISO9001 quality award.

ISO 9000 is a family of standards for quality management systems. ISO 9000 is maintained by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization and is administered by accreditation and certification bodies. The rules are updated, as the requirements motivate changes over time. Some of the requirements in ISO 9001:2008 (which is one of the standards in the ISO 9000 family) include

• a set of procedures that cover all key processes in the business;
• monitoring processes to ensure they are effective;
• keeping adequate records;
• checking output for defects, with appropriate and corrective action where necessary;
• regularly reviewing individual processes and the quality system itself for effectiveness; and
• facilitating continual improvement

A company or organization that has been independently audited and certified to be in conformance with ISO 9001 may publicly state that it is “ISO 9001 certified” or “ISO 9001 registered”. Certification to an ISO 9001 standard does not guarantee any quality of end products and services; rather, it certifies that formalized business processes are being applied.

Although the standards originated in manufacturing, they are now employed across several types of organizations. A “product”, in ISO vocabulary, can mean a physical object, services, or software.

GBData are now proud to announce that they have increased their level of insurance to an incredible £1million.

This provides you with the reassurance that should the worst happen, your company will be supported through financial redress.

We have never actually had to resort to this in order to provide our clients with recompence, but it provides that final level of comfort should the worst happen, and we lose your data completely.
