Please review our hardware list and software and email us the types of servers, tape drives and storage your disaster recovery plan exercise will require.

We set up the environment to your specifications, at no charge. You then rent the utilization of this environment -- generally on a weekly basis -- for an exceptionally cost effective rate.

A price card for utilization is available on the Platform Lab website. If you do not see your hardware requirements in our current inventory, please contact us immediately and we will begin efforts to acquire the assets you need for your disaster recovery plan exercise, either on loan, rent or purchase from our vendors and partners.

Reasons why over 60 firms exercise their DR plans at Platform Lab:

• Fulfill HIPAA and SOX regulations
• Thoroughly document procedures without time constraints
• Discover required resources before creating your hotsite plan
• Exercise your plan locally, avoiding travel cost, hassle and risk
• Test 24/7/365 at your convenience, on your schedule
• Non-profit cost structure provides for outstanding value

" Many of the assumptions we had made in our plans were laid open to raw reality and just plain didn't work. The facilities at Platform Lab gave us the ability to test, rethink, and retest without the incessant time pressure that will be on us during a 48-hour test at our contracted disaster recovery vendor."
