NeoSpire, Parent Company of HostGlobe, Announces New Set of Managed Disaster Recovery Solutions

DALLAS (October 28, 2001)

NeoSpire, Inc. announced today a new set of managed disaster recovery solutions that provide protection for important data and mission-critical servers from today's increased risks of network emergencies and unpredictable disasters. NeoSpire's new service offerings provide effective, affordable, and convenient data and server backup plans to ensure that valuable data is safe in an off-site, fully-redundant facility, ready for retrieval twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

"The ever-increasing reliance on internally stored office data and networked Web server applications, coupled with today's volatile world of network attacks, natural disasters, and war on terrorism has made disaster recover an extremely important topic in many board rooms," said Derek Wilson, co-founder and CEO of NeoSpire.

"NeoSpire's new set of managed disaster recovery solutions is exactly what companies need to address these issues and sleep better at night," added Wilson. "By providing comprehensive services at very reasonable prices, we offer industry-leading solutions to protect customers, revenue, and what amounts to thousands of hours of work."

NeoSpire's managed disaster recovery solutions are designed to replicate a customer's data and, if needed, entire servers in an environment that allows that data to be accessed at a moment's notice. A variety of client-specific platform architectures and applications can be replicated. An integral component of NeoSpire's managed offering is its network administrators who will work to customize a solution and then fully support that solution within NeoSpire's state-of-the-art data center.

NeoSpire's new managed disaster recovery solutions include:

NeoSpire Server-to-Disk Backup (NSDB):
The NSDB offering provides real-time data backup and recovery. This solution is designed for data existing on servers and/or PCs. NeoSpire will configure their hardware and software to "talk" with the customer's server in order to backup the customer's data on a nightly basis. In the event of an emergency, and the customer needs to restore their data, the customer will have two options. They can either provide their own replacement server and NeoSpire will remotely restore all customer data to that server, or the customer can ask NeoSpire to procure a server on the customer's behalf and restore the data prior to delivering a replica of the old server.

NeoSpire Server-to-Server Backup (NSSB):
The NSSB offering provides real-time, complete server-to-server backup and recovery. This solution is designed to provide a complete, dedicated replica of the customer's in-house server including the OS and any applications. NeoSpire will configure the hardware and software to "talk" with the customer's server in order to backup the customer's entire server on a nightly basis. If an emergency arises and the customer needs their backup server, NeoSpire will express deliver the new server so the customer can be up and running with minimal downtime.
