Thanks everyone for introducing yourselves. Just a reminder that this is a backup forum and we will have many non-Asigra-affiliated folks here so want to keep the dialogue open to all.

Hey all,

Gregory Tellone here from Continuity Centers, headquartered in New York. I've been in the backup and recovery business since 1992 when I began my career as a tech support engineer at Cheyenne Software, the original developers of ARCserve tape backup software for Novell Netware, OS/2 and Windows. After a few years there, I moved to McKinsey & Company where I worked on the server and network infrastructure team and built out a disaster recovery plan with IBM, after evaluating IBM, Sungard and Comdisco.

When we started Continuity Centers, our mission was to create secure, affordable recovery services that would bring peace-of-mind to the small and mid-sized business. Since our inception in 1999, we've grown from a regional business in the New York Metro Area to a company providing recovery services across North America. We incorporate the recovery of people and business processes along with recovery of the technology infrastructure. We currently have three Tier I hot-sites in New York with Tier II workgroup recovery facilities throughout the country.

My role as the COO is to develop and maintain processes to ensure smooth onboarding and 100% recovery of our Members' infrastructure. As a "recovering geek", I'm also involved with sales and marketing, whenever I'm not designing a recovery network for a new Member.

I'm glad to see some familiar names here and look forward to contributing in any way I can.

Chief Operating Officer

Hello,

My Name is Jarrod Winsor and I am a Network Administrator. One of my primary focus' is Backup and Recovery for my company. I have been trying to implement a new backup strategy, moving away from Tape based backups internally. I have been very interested in the Asigra platform. I am here to share my thoughts about backup and disaster recovery, and to learn from other professionals who experience the same issues day to day. I hope this forum meets its potential.
