CariNet is pleased to offer an easy, secure, fast and reliable way to backup your data to a Remote Data Backup Server. This is the most cost-effective backup storage solution for any size business worldwide. Backup your office computer, home computer, and web server. You have total control with the power to manage multiple users' folder access and point-of-entry using "Approved IP" addressing ? or not. You can backup and access your data from any computer, at any time, from anywhere in the world.

This product offers mapped drive access using a WebDAV client or Windows Network configuration, along with standard HTTP access. Imagine adding one more "hard drive" to your computer without having to actually install it. Better yet, imagine one drive being attached to all of your computers at once; home, office and mobile. You can have individual private folders, as well as shared "corporate" folders for use as your organization's File Server.

Finally, you have a practical use for the Windows Backup Utility, too. Use your Windows Backup Utility to schedule backups to your Remote Data Backup Server.

UNIX/Linux? Write a cronjob and backup your web server. That?s it!

At CariNet, we believe that a remote backup storage service is something that every small and mid-size business should have. For a business especially, backing up data is just too important a decision to be taken lightly, or to be left to chance. The Remote Data Backup Server allows you to automate the process of backing up electronic data from your local desktop, local server and/or dedicated server(s) using a cronjob or Windows Back-up Utility.

Our goal was to design a cost-effective backup service that could be used by anyone regardless of their computer expertise and provide the functionality and features of backup systems used by larger organizations.

CariNet leverages 10 years of business management and datacenter operation experience to bring a variety of hosting solutions to clients large and small. As part of our ongoing commitment to our customers, CariNet owns each of the 5 datacenters in the San Diego campus as well as the land on which they reside. Ownership provides great stability and control, and it alleviates the concerns that plague datacenter operators who lease their facilities and make large capital investments into buildings they do not own. CariNet facilities have been accumulated over the past 10 years through a combination of new construction, retrofits and acquisitions. This unique cluster of facilities is located in the burgeoning San Diego Spectrum business park.




CariNet's Enterprise Network was designed from the ground up to support our customers? ever growing need for speed! While lightning fast page loads and bandwidth on demand are some of our primary objectives, overall redundancy is a primary focus of the CariNet team.

We achieve these objectives in a number of ways:

Transit to the major carriers is routed using Border Gateway Protocol (BPG-4), a protocol that provides automated detection and redirection in the case of a transit carrier failure. Edge routers (those that connect directly to the transit carriers) are linked by multi-Gigabit, multi-paths that are wholly owned and operated by CariNet?s network engineering group. This provides facility-level redundancy for Internet transit, backed by both AC and DC power plants.

Distribution redundancy is achieved by multi-facility non-active fiber optic links to the transit routing infrastructure. No single fiber, transit carrier or power failure can cause an interruption of service to the distribution routers. The distribution routers are the gateway routers for client connections; Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) provides redundancy for the gateway IP address to remove the distribution routers as single points of failure.
