What is Data Fortress?
ArcLight Data Fortress (ADF) is an enterprise-grade backup solution designed specifically to back up on-premise physical, virtual, and cloud server environments — so losing your data never means losing your business.
What a typical deployment includes
- Data Fortress backup agent on every server
- On-premise backup & disaster recovery (BDR) appliance
- Immutable cloud backup storage repository
- 30-day on-premise BDR data retention
- 120-day off-site cloud storage retention
- Backups encrypted at rest and in transit
- Dissimilar authentication from your environment
- Local cold spare server access & availability
- Quarterly restore testing
- Daily backup monitoring & remediations
- Two backup-failure monitoring solutions
- Near-instant restoration for failed environments
The above reflects what ArcLight clients typically purchase and may not match every environment’s needs — see the planning service below if you’re unsure.
1 Back up every server
Data Fortress — Server AgentRequired per server
The agent that does the backing up — one per server endpoint.
Required on each server endpoint you wish to back up. Running virtual servers? You only need to license the guest/virtual servers, not the physical hosts. Unsure what you have? Our team can investigate and help you purchase the right quantity — a retainer on file covers that discovery labor.

2 Pick your on-site BDR appliance
The Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) appliance is leased hardware at your office: the local backup repository, management interface, and disaster-recovery host. Pick the size that matches your environment — if you’re unsure, our team can size it for you. Rule of thumb for the setup retainer: (number of servers + number of sites/appliances) × $250. Requires climate-controlled space and battery backup (step 3).
BDR Appliance — SmallPick one size
For smaller environments with a handful of servers.
Local repository for the backup management interface, backup storage, and disaster-recovery environment host. Leased hardware located at your office — sized appropriately to ensure recoverability.
Quantity in cart:
BDR Appliance — MediumPick one size
For growing environments that need more backup storage and recovery headroom.
Same role as the small appliance — local backup repository, management interface, and disaster-recovery host — with double the capacity. Leased hardware located at your office.
Quantity in cart:
BDR Appliance — LargePick one size
For server-heavy environments where recovery capacity can’t be a question mark.
The largest local backup repository, management interface, and disaster-recovery host. Leased hardware located at your office — maximum storage and recovery horsepower.

3 Protect it with battery backup
A sufficient battery backup is required for successful deployment of the BDR appliance — it protects against power surges and brief outages. Both options are leased hardware; setup fees are deducted from your retainer on file.
BDR Battery Backup — Rack MountRequired with BDR
Already have a rack? This one slides right in.
A rack-mounted battery backup (UPS) that protects the BDR appliance from power surges and brief power outages. Choose this if you have a two-post, four-post, or wall-mount box where the UPS can be mounted.
Quantity in cart:
BDR Battery Backup — Floor MountRequired with BDR
No rack? The free-standing tower is the best choice.
A traditional floor-mounted / free-standing battery backup (UPS tower) that protects the BDR appliance from power surges and brief power outages. Choose this if you don’t have a rack to mount equipment in. Requires a climate-controlled environment.

4 Off-site protection & recovery
Off-Site / Cloud Storage — 1,000GB Block
Your backups’ backup — immutable storage far away from trouble.
A remote location where backups are stored for recovery should the primary site or backups become inaccessible — typically through natural disaster, malicious actor, or corruption. Sold in 1TB (1,000GB) blocks. We advise purchasing at least twice the storage currently in use; if usage grows beyond what’s purchased, we true it up in 1TB blocks at the prevailing rate.
Quantity in cart:
Cold Spare Server
When disaster strikes, a pre-configured server is already waiting for you.
A subscription that grants access to a stable of pre-configured servers ready to become restoration points in the event your site becomes unavailable — typically due to fire, flood, tornado, hurricane, ransomware, or other unforeseen circumstance. Your temporary replacement until new hardware arrives.

Backup Review, Engineering & PlanningRecommended first step
Let’s figure out what you need together — and build the right solution at the right price.
Need help knowing what you have, what needs backed up, and whatever else is needed to ensure you don’t lose your business if you lose your data and systems? We got you! Recommended: 2 retainers ($500) for an on-site review in the Tulsa County area, or 1 retainer ($250) for a remote-access review. Administrative access to your servers and devices gets you maximum value.
