Sonasoft provides Point-Click RecoveryR solutions for Microsoft SQL, Exchange and Windows servers.

SonaSafe Backup and Recovery Suite offers total protection through reliable backup and gives customers the ability to be up and running quickly in case of system failure or total disaster. When recovery is required, SonaSafe automatically determines which files need to be restored and quickly performs the recovery from backup data stored to internal hard disks. There’s no need to hunt for backup tapes or determine the correct restore path. Human error and unnecessary downtime are eliminated, and the data is available within minutes, instead of hours.
Loan City, one of the nation’s leading wholesale residential mortgage lenders, successfully deployed SonaSafe products using HP hardware. Loan City uses DL Series servers and storage from HP to meet its backup and storage needs. “SonaSafe is dependable, easy to use, saves time during disaster recovery, and well worth the investment in the software”, said Kazam Ali, Network Engineering Manager at Loan City.

Environmentally conscious certified green recycler goes for gold in a tight economy
July 5, 2009 by SmallBiz-Resources.com · Leave a Comment
& B Enterprises is helping technology manufacturers generate cash flow during tough times while being environmentally conscious. The Green certified company buys electronics technology scraps and recycles the metals.
There’s gold, silver, platinum and other recyclable assets in the waste generated by electronics firms during the
manufacturing process which end up in landfills if they are not properly recycled. Up to 99 percent of these metals can be reclaimed by J&B.
Their facility processing capabilities include chemical stripping, melting, thermal oxidation, and base-metal recycling. In addition to gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, J&B also recovers copper, aluminum, tin, and lead.
J&B Enterprises has been maximizing the value of recyclable assets from makers of, semiconductor chips, printed circuit boards, microwave components, opto-electronics and other electronic products for more than 30 years.
“Companies could be losing twice by unknowingly throwing valuable materials in the dumpster and then paying someone to haul them away,” says Ken Epsman, president of J&B Enterprises. “We can perform a facility survey and identify materials containing precious metals that currently may be headed for the landfill.”
J&B Enterprises can also validate the efficiency of a company’s current precious metals recycler by running a side-by-side trial to make certain they are receiving the maximum value of reclaimed metals.
In addition, J&B can perform a one-stop recycling service, consolidating the number of suppliers and contracts that companies must deal with, improving operating efficiency.
Maximizing return is important, but not at the expense of the environment. J&B has gone to great lengths to ensure a clean, safe, and healthy environment. Its 22,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Silicon Valley looks more like a lab than a recycling center. “We provide environmentally safe precious metals reclamation,” says Epsman.
Brilliant Selected by IP Networks to Deliver Carrier-Class Sync for One of the Largest

Brilliant Telecommunications, Inc. (Brilliant), a developer of next-generation synchronization and timing solutions and IP Networks, Inc., a pioneer in providing highly scalable Ethernet-Over-Fiber solutions to wireless operators, enterprises and service providers, announced they have signed a collaborative agreement to deliver carrier-class synchronization and increased network capacity for the IP backhaul. Under this agreement, Brilliant will enable IP Networks to support second-generation (2G), and high-speed third-generation (3G) and fourth-generation (4G) wireless services at a significantly reduced cost over existing solutions.
“Our legacy-free networks are designed to be the most reliable service delivery platforms for highly scalable transport services,” said Gary George, president of IP Networks, Inc. “Having Brilliant’s innovative solutions as a part of our architecture allows us to meet the mission critical network requirements of wireless operators and enterprises. Brilliant will be utilized in our recently awarded contract by a major North American mobile operator to deploy Ethernet-Over-Fiber services to over 1,000 cell sites in the San Francisco Bay Area.”
Brilliant has developed ground-breaking next-generation packet-based solutions to address the need for end-to-end synchronization for mobile backhaul networks. As providers migrate to Ethernet and IP from low-bandwidth, expensive, circuit-based networks, timing and synchronization remain essential.
