Storage and backup FAQ
Most common questions and answers we receive in Storage and Backup projects
How much does my solution cost?
At Encora we perform a technical audit of your environment. We implement tools that diagnose during a reasonable time the use that is taking place.
Based on this information and your company’s growth forecasts, we recommend the most appropriate solution.
WHAT DOWNTIME WILL I HAVE?
It is natural to be concerned about a change as substantial as storage or backup. These are key elements in a company, but don’t worry, we are experts and we know how to make the change so that the downtime is minimal. If there is an outage, we will do it at night or on a holiday for your convenience.
Can my backup system connect to the cloud and support my traditional tapes?
Of course. We implement the most innovative backup systems that will talk with your Cloud environments, modern HCI, your virtualization system, but also with traditional architectures and classic tape systems.
WHAT GUARANTEE DO ENCORA'S STORAGE AND BACKUP SERVICES HAVE?
We are very demanding and will only settle for your maximum satisfaction. All Encora projects are protected by Encora Key, a turnkey service. So if the project takes a long time, you don’t have to worry about the financial side.
Can I have 100% availability storage?
There are few brands in the market that certify it, but Encora works with them. We implement your storage system in a geodistributed cluster so that you have RTO and RPO = 0.
The most powerful systems that we implement do not need to stop neither to expand nor to upgrade firmware nor to change controllers.
I NEED MY BACKUP TO BE VERY FAST ON RESTORE
The modern backup systems we implement do not need to rehydrate the backup. This means that the restore is instantaneous. No waiting time.
The moment we decide to restore, for example, a VM that has been corrupted, we simply boot the protected machine at the time we deem convenient and we will continue working normally.
Automation & Monitoring
At Encora we have been helping our clients in Spain and Mexico to automate ICT processes and monitor their information systems for 14 years.
A good planning of the ICT department necessarily involves the implementation of preventive systems that allow us to know what is happening in our environment and to anticipate downtime or congestion problems of any hardware or software element.
It is also key to be able to eliminate the repetition of tedious processes, especially for medium and large customers.
At Encora we are experts in automation and monitoring. We can help you. We analyze your environment and suggest the best long-term solution for you to consolidate your automation and monitoring systems at a reasonable cost.

Benefits of server virtualization
Server and desktop virtualization offers multiple advantages. Some benefits for your company of virtualization are:
Maintenance reduction
Investment reduction
Reduction of space and power consumption
Increased RESOURCE CONSOLIDATION
Increased availability
Drastic reduction in service stops
mejora de la seguridad
Greater granularity in service management
Shorter recovery time of applications
Benefits of desktop virtualization (VDI)
If you are VMware Horizon, we can offer you a pilot test of this technology and you will quickly see all the benefits it offers.
The benefits of VDI technology are:
24H AVAILABILITY OF THE USER'S EQUIPMENT 365 DAYS A YEAR
Automation based on templates classified by roles. When the template is modified, all desktops based on it are modified.
HIGH EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY
If a desktop becomes unusable due to a virus, operating system failure or any other problem, there is another replica desktop waiting for you. The user is not forced to stop working. You can leverage your PCs, swap them for Thin Clients or convert them to Thin Clients for better centralized and remote management of the environment.
CENTRALIZED AND REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR USER BASE
Improved user productivity. VDI systems support multi-desktop and run very fast. You won’t have the typical PC problems related to planned obsolescence.
VERY SIMPLIFIED OPERATING SYSTEM OR APPLICATION UPGRADE
Increased security or heightened security; users access information that they are corporately authorized to access: restricted USB usage.
