We purchased the Moose - our 65' International bucket truck - several years ago so that we could install video surveillance cameras in difficult exterior locations for our customers.

Using the Moose, we can tackle your most difficult - and dangerous - high work.

There are a host of colocation, data center, and record storage companies out there advertising themselves as "mountains". Some are actual underground facilities, but upon closer inspection it is revealed the floor level is far below the level of the surrounding area.

Digital Video Surveillance is the product around which our company was initially formed. As we set about performing our first camera installations, we discovered an utter lack of suitable Surveillance Camera Mounts. To service this need, and given our staff's dual background in both technology and construction, our Welding & Fabrication shop was furnished and DTS began the process of building camera mounts for all of our installations.

Hero or Zero?

Don't wait until you need the data you have backed up to test your retrieval procedures. Your backup processes are not a Ronco Showtime Rotisserie Grill - you can't just "set it and forget it". In the event of data loss, you can be a hero or a zero. Which one do you want to be?

Within an office, the normal ratio of stored files to floor space is 1:1 (cubic foot/square foot). In The Mountain Complex's record storage area the ratio varies from 8:1 to 16:1.

Office space rental and leasing in southwest Missouri varies greatly with location and amenities, but a conservative average places it at around $1.00 per square foot per month.

Just as having your backup tapes stored off-site is not sufficient planning for a disaster, simply having a plan of how to recover from the unpreventable is not enough. Consider the following research:

• A study by the University of Texas uncovered the following statistics:
  "Only 6% of companies suffering a catastrophic data loss survive, while
  43% never reopen and 51% close within two years."
• $18,000 is the average hourly cost of downtime for PC networks
• The average cost of downtime ranges from approximately $90,000 per hour
  of in the transportation industry (airline reservations) to $6.5
  million for large brokerage houses in the finance industry (as reported
  by Contingency Planning Research)

A Rock Solid infrastructure allows your business to continue operating during a crisis - not just recover from it. Sure you can back everything up to tape, but what if your building burns down or is washed away in a flood or storm surge? How detrimental to your business or organization would a week of downtime be?

Every business must have a Business Continuation Plan of which Disaster Recovery is but a subset.
