Mainline in Outsourcing Deal with BPOMS

March 25, 2008 Alex Woodie

IBM server reseller Mainline Information Systems has hooked up with business process outsourcer BPO Management Services to provide full-service outsourcing of System i, System z, and Intel servers, the companies announced last week.

With Mainline supplying the IBM hardware connection and technical services, and BPOMS’ IT Infrastructure and Outsourcing (ITO) Services division supplying more technical services as well as data center facilities, the two vendors aim to attract mid market companies that want to completely outsource their servers or just co-locate them in a larger facility.

“By partnering with Mainline, BPOMS can now offer its services to a broad new group of clients throughout North America,” says Patrick Dolan, founder and chairman of BPOMS, which is based in Anaheim, California, and has offices in six other states and Canadian provinces. Mainline is based in Tallahassee, Florida, and also has offices in New Jersey and Illinois.

BPOMS’ ITO Services division maintains an SAS70, Type II-certified, class-A rated data center in Pearl River, New York, as well as a co-production center located in the Verizon facility in Carteret, New Jersey.

YOUR ORGANIZATION NEEDS TO BE THINKING DIFFERENTLY ABOUT YOUR
BACKUP & DISASTER RECOVERY STRATEGY

Heightened Concerns of the Industry

Inefficient manual backup processes
Effectively storing data offsite
Developing and testing a concrete disaster recovery plan
Efficient access to data in disaster scenario for necessary users
Risk of cyber security attack
Declining IT staff and resources

The true cause of the above concerns is the “new normal” that is the COVID-19 pandemic and an organization’s status quo:

80% of IBM i users currently backup to tape and 40% of companies
have no DR plan at all.

DURING THIS UNPRESENTEDED TIME, DON’T WAIT FOR YOUR BUSINESS
TO SUFFER A DISASTER TO TAKE ACTION.

The new way to ensure cost-effective safety

Automated cloud backup
Two remote sites – redundant storage, power, internet pipe, firewalls, etc.
Data encryption at all times – in-flight and at-rest
Fully managed remote hardware DR, including remote VPN access for necessary users
Regularly simulated phishing tests and cyber security training

Potential “landmines” in solutions to avoid

Single point of storage – no redundancy
Misleading data analysis, compression/de-dup ratios, sizing of necessary computer resources for backup and DR
Large scale cloud storage with difficult recovery
Inability to meet RTO/RPO

Don’t get caught like the many organizations we’ve seen with inefficient
exposed backup data and no DR plan!
