About onQ

Businesses today depend upon the continuous availability of information systems and business applications. Any downtime is disruptive and expensive.

An effective business continuity plan is essential for any business that wants to remain viable and competitive even when systems fail or business is interrupted.

Typical business continuity solutions require a variety of technologies provided by different vendors, and involve physical duplication of production resources at remote locations. This approach works but is very expensive.

The advent of new technologies such as virtualization, replication, storage, and de‑duplication have reduced the cost of business continuity for some businesses, but the overall cost and degree of expertise required has still kept these newer approaches beyond the reach of most small and medium businesses.

Quorum has created an affordable, all‑in‑one business continuity solution that includes all the technologies required to protect and restore physical and virtual machines. This solution is delivered on a single physical device called, simply, onQ.

onQ is based on Quorum’s feature‑rich management and automation platform and comes complete with all the technologies necessary to provide high‑availability and disaster‑recovery protection for any Windows‑based workload. With its intuitive user interface onQ is simple to install and manage.

onQ automates high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) in a turnkey Appliance by integrating all of the following features and benefits:

•	Full system imaging of all Operating System, Application and Data files to allow bare metal restoration of your servers.

•	Incremental snapshot archiving: crash‑consistent updates of all files, even if they are open, allows efficient archiving as frequently as every 15 minutes.

•	Deduplication: only the changes on your server are saved in the archive, and only if they are different than any of the “chunks” of data already stored.

•	Replication: your entire archive is replicated to a second remote onQ Appliance over an encrypted, compressed, bandwidth‑controlled link.

•	Virtualization: onQ maintains an up‑to‑date virtual copy of your servers ready‑to‑run right on the onQ Appliance.

•	Recovery Infrastructure: you don’t need to have spare, standby servers—the onQ Appliance has the resources to run the ready‑to‑run virtual copies of your servers.

•	Monitoring, Reports and Alerts: onQ Manager monitors all activities and lets you know when things go wrong—and when they go right.

•	Single Web‑based Interface: accessible from anywhere, the onQ Portal lets you manage all operations without complexity.
