Disaster recovery patent for Egenera
By Matthew L. Brown
Marlborough-based data protection company Egenera Inc. has received a patent for its new disaster recovery system.
The system is called N+1, and it simplifies moving entire groups of servers, including their storage and network connections, to remote sites.
When a company's servers fail, the N+1 system brings the company's system back up within minutes from the remote site, Egenera said.
The company said it could take other systems hours to bring servers back to life.
The system was tested by Farm Bureau-Western Computer Services Inc., which said, "we were able to push a button and get everything up and running again."
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued the patent today.
