Expert Guidance

"I've been implementing backup solutions for over a decade, and hardware planning is critical for success. Many companies underestimate network bandwidth requirements for initial backups."

Kai Andersson
Senior Systems Engineer

"We always recommend starting with a pilot environment. This lets you test performance and adjust configurations before rolling out to production systems."

Implementation Timeline

Typical deployment schedule for most environments

1

Pre-deployment Assessment (Week 1)

Infrastructure audit, network analysis, and storage capacity planning. We'll identify any potential bottlenecks or compatibility issues before installation begins.

2

Software Installation (Week 2)

Deploy FlashTurbo agents across your environment. Configure initial backup policies and establish secure communication channels between systems.

3

Testing & Validation (Week 3)

Run comprehensive backup and restore tests. Validate disaster recovery procedures and fine-tune performance settings based on your specific workloads.
