Give Your Tapes the Pink Slip
RevITup with our New Low-cost Onsite/Remote Managed Backup Series
What if you walked into your office tomorrow and discovered a virus, hacker or system crash had destroyed every filte, database and e-mail on your server? How confident are you that your data could be restored? How often are you testing your tape backups or doing a full system restore? If you don't regularly test restoring your backups, you are at high risk for losing irreplaceable company files.
The Launch Pad's new RevITup Managed Backup and Distaster Recovery Solution means that your data is 100% safe and secure. It also means that your data is backed up in real-time every 15 minutes on and offsite. Our solution even includes a NAS server at your location which you can run from (virtualize) if your server crashes. All of this with no up front investment!

| Bid a Fond Farewell to Windows XP
As of June 30th, 2008 Microsoft will no longer be selling either the OEM or retail version of Windows XP. That means within the next 60 days or so after that, new XP workstations will be difficult to come by and that will include Launch Pad manufactured systems. We will have a stock of XP licenses for our system builds but once those are gone, Vista will be the standard. It does not mean that you have to upgrade existing systems but it will mean the new stations will need to have Vista.

RevITup Business Care - A Drama in Real Life
We thought one of the best ways to illustrate the RevITup Managed Service value to your business is with a story from one of our RevITup Business Care customers. Being a RevITup customer means we have our eyes on your network 24x7. Two weeks ago, one of our newer customers, Levy Awards & Promotional Products, experienced this first hand. Our monitoring system tagged a predictive hard drive failure alert on a workstation and created a ticket within the system.
Within minutes, the ticket was routed to one of our help desk technicians who immediately contacted the customer, remoted directly to the desktop and did a hard drive scan. Sure enough, the hard drive was verging on failure. We were able to get a engineer onsite within 24 hours, replace the drive and safely move all the data over without interuption. Disaster averted and it didn't cost Levy Awards any downtime or a penny for the service because it was all included in their monthly fee. Its a beautiful thing.
