I am delighted to share our overwhelmingly positive experience with Info Advantage, our chosen telecommunications partner, as Camp Stella Maris underwent a much-needed switch to our phone system earlier this year. As a nonprofit organization, we were not only seeking efficiency and reliability but also a provider that aligned with our values and supported our community. The transition to Info Advantage’s phone system has been nothing short of seamless, and the impact on our daily operations at Camp Stella Maris has been truly remarkable. From the initial consultation to the ongoing support, Info Advantage has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to excellence and a genuine understanding of our unique needs as a nonprofit. What sets Info Advantage apart is not only their state-of-the-art technology but also their dedication to providing value-driven solutions. As a nonprofit, every penny matters, and Info Advantage has proven to be a cost-effective choice without compromising on the quality of service. Their team took the time to understand our organization’s communication requirements and tailored a solution that not only meets but exceeds our expectations. The reliability of Info Advantage’s phone system has significantly enhanced our ability to connect with our stakeholders, donors, and the families we serve. The crystal-clear audio quality and user-friendly interface have streamlined our communication processes, allowing us to focus more on our core mission of providing a transformative camp experience for children. What truly stands out about Info Advantage is their commitment to the local community. Being a local company, they understand the importance of supporting nonprofits like ours. Their team has gone above and beyond to ensure that our transition was smooth, offering personalized support and demonstrating a genuine interest in the success of Camp Stella Maris. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Info Advantage to any organization, especially nonprofits, seeking a reliable, efficient, and value-driven phone system.

Thank you, Info Advantage, for not only providing us with a top-tier phone system but for being a true partner in our mission.

We enjoyed another successful year at Hoag Library in no small part due to our relationship with Info Advantage. With the help of Johnathan and Linda we replaced many of our computers this year and have finally gotten all of our equipment onto a three year cycle for replacement. The installation of the new computers was handled in house knowing that if we needed help it was only a phone call away. Jeremiah was instrumental in helping us get all of the new equipment online and swapping out some other equipment with items that were at the end of life. Other times we have depended on Jacob to help us figure out why we were having problems. (an unknown power outage was one cause.) and he and Kris reset programs when we could not make successful updates. We were also unable to catalog new books when the dedicated computer went down. We sent the computer to IA , they performed “magic” and Jacob returned it and reinstalled it until our new computers came in.

I have been working with the Info Advantage team for a little over a year now as the IT Manager for VP Supply Corp. Words cannot describe the difference Info Advantage has made in my ability to do my job and protect our network and information assets. What started as a hardware vendor has now evolved into providing MSSP services to better protect our network – and we could not be happier with the quick return on investment this has given us. I would like to give a special shout-out to the members of the Info Advantage team who have not only done their job exceptionally well but have also mastered the soft skills and make me feel as though I can always reach out if we need them. Johnathan, Chris Chan, Chris McDonald, and Nick Wetherwax have been outstanding over the past year. With continued success like this VP Supply will have Info Advantage as a partner for many, many years to come!

In 2015, our office space was nearly a complete loss in a fire damaged building. Everything we had was either reduced to rubble or soaked with water. We had been utilizing Info Advantage for several years for maintenance of our computer network and replacement of portions of it. They arose to the occasion helping us be able to get back to business. First, they had all our data recovered from our water soaked server. They then put together a completely new network for us. From the research we did at the time, we found that Info Advantage was providing us a relatively cost effective system that suited us very well. We especially appreciate the guidance they provided helping us with our selections.

I have worked with Info Advantage over the past 12 years at a couple of companies. This year, Info Advantage helped me deploy a new VMWare / EMC environment for my current employer. During the selection process, they were very responsive with quote changes, responses to questions and updates explaining every aspect of the roll-out. They were very willing to take my current level of knowledge into consideration in the quoting process and their quotes were very competitive. Once awarded the project, Info Advantage proceeded very quickly to order and install the hardware in agreed time with on-hands training and system documentation for me. I would personally recommend Info Advantage for any project.

How We Protect Your Operations

iaGuardianDR addresses the physical and digital elements of continuity. We assess risks, build recovery plans, and implement resources that keep your team online and your systems recoverable when disaster strikes.

Site-Based Contingency

We create plans that provide alternative workspace options, ensuring your team can continue working with minimal disruption when your primary office becomes inaccessible due to damage or emergency conditions.

Infrastructure Redundancy

We replicate critical computing systems in offsite environments so your infrastructure remains available. This allows fast restoration and continued operations when on-premises servers or networks experience unexpected failure or downtime.

Communication Resilience

We ensure continued access to essential communication tools including phones, messaging, and email. This keeps internal teams aligned and external clients informed during any outage, disaster event, or infrastructure failure.

Power Protection

We assess your power needs and implement generators, batteries, and failover systems that maintain functionality during outages. Your business stays active and secure even when the main power grid fails unexpectedly.

Why You Might Need Help

Many businesses lack a real disaster recovery strategy. They depend on backups alone without accounting for how they will maintain operations or communication during extended outages, physical damage, or infrastructure failures.

Events such as hardware failure, storms, or office damage can halt productivity immediately. Without a clear and tested recovery framework, businesses lose time, customers, and long-term trust. A complete solution must support continuity, not just recovery.

Why You Should Choose Us

We provide a full disaster recovery solution that extends beyond files and backups. Our strategy accounts for the real-world challenges of relocation, power loss, system failure, and workforce disruption.

Info Advantage helps you avoid the business impact of downtime. We implement continuity plans that restore operational capacity quickly. Your business remains functional, supported, and resilient in the face of disruption.

Offsite Backup

Encrypted Cloud-Based Data Storage

We protect business data with offsite backups that are encrypted, automated, and recoverable on demand. Our solutions reduce the risk of data loss and allow for fast restoration from verified backup systems.

Data is only protected when it can be recovered securely and reliably.

  • Store backups in secure, geographically separate locations.

  • Schedule automated file and system image backups daily.

  • Recover files or full systems quickly after data loss events.

Alternate Office Space

Business-Ready Locations When You Need Them

When your primary office is inaccessible, we support transitions to alternate workspace solutions. These spaces keep your staff productive and connected while your permanent location is restored.

Operational continuity includes access to physical space when it matters.

  • Get physical space when disaster prevents on-site access.

  • Maintain productivity while primary offices are restored.

  • Ensure business presence and employee safety during recovery.

System Redundancy

Maintain Access to Core Infrastructure

We replicate key systems in secure offsite environments to maintain access during infrastructure failure. This capability allows your business to resume critical operations quickly, without excessive downtime or confusion.

Resuming work depends on more than just backup files.

  • Protect server workloads in redundant offsite locations.

  • Enable remote access to vital apps and services.

  • Prevent long outages by maintaining functional infrastructure.

Built for Continuity and Confidence

Businesses trust iaGuardianDR because we provide more than data protection. Our solution addresses every part of recovery, including workspaces, communication tools, and infrastructure to ensure your business keeps operating.

  • Risk-Based Strategy

We perform a detailed analysis of your physical location, digital systems, personnel, and existing procedures to develop disaster recovery strategies that are practical, specific, and aligned to your most likely business risks and priorities.

  • Hands-On Planning

We deliver real documentation and interactive planning sessions that prepare your staff for action. Every continuity plan includes clear instructions, contact lists, escalation paths, and role-specific procedures to guide recovery during unexpected business interruption events.

  • Multi-Layer Coverage

Our continuity strategy addresses every critical element of your business. We combine protection for data, communications, physical space, and power into one cohesive plan that provides true operational resilience under pressure and complexity.

  • Fast Restoration

We configure systems for recovery before disaster strikes. By testing every backup and validating each recovery point in advance, we enable you to resume operations quickly and confidently following any disruption, loss, or infrastructure event.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should We Test Our DR Plan?

Disaster recovery plans should be tested annually at a minimum. For mission-critical systems, testing every six months is recommended to validate team readiness and system functionality under different conditions.

What Happens If Our Office Becomes Inaccessible?

We provide access to alternate workspaces and support the transition process. Your team can continue operations while your original location is repaired, cleaned, or evaluated for long-term damage.

Do You Offer Both Data Backup And Infrastructure Recovery?

Yes. Our service includes both secure offsite data backup and full infrastructure replication. You can restore entire systems or individual files depending on the situation and business requirements.

How Long Does It Take To Recover Systems?

Recovery times vary based on the size and structure of your environment. Most essential systems can be restored within hours if they are pre-configured for fast failover and monitored continuously.

Can You Help With Compliance Requirements?

Yes. We support businesses in meeting continuity-related compliance standards such as HIPAA, NIST, and FINRA. We document, configure, and test systems to align with required data protection and recovery controls.
