Downtime isn’t just inconvenient — it’s expensive. When something fails, you need your business back up in hours, not days. Axiom IT’s OmniShield 360 keeps you running when everything else stops.
Whether it’s a ransomware attack, a server failure, or a natural disaster — if your business can’t operate, you’re losing money, clients, and credibility. Most businesses that experience a major data loss without a recovery plan don’t survive the year.
Average cost of IT downtime for a small business: $427–$9,000+ per hour
Average recovery time without a plan: 18.5 hours
Up to 60% of small businesses close within 6 months of a major data loss event
You don’t need to be a Fortune 500 company to have enterprise-grade protection. OmniShield 360 is built for businesses like yours.
OmniShield 360 offers two disaster recovery tiers. The right one depends on how long your business can operate without its systems.
Best For:
Organizations where downtime is disruptive but survivable. File servers, non-mission-critical systems.
How It Works:
When a server fails, workloads recover in Axiom’s secure cloud. Recovery begins once hardware is repaired or replaced. Users connect via secure VPN. Performance depends on internet bandwidth during recovery.
Includes:
Cloud-based server recovery · Secure VPN access · Automated backups · Monthly recovery testing · No on-site hardware required
Why It Costs Less
No dedicated on-site hardware. Cloud resources are consumed primarily during an incident — keeping monthly costs lower while ensuring protection.
Best For:
Businesses that cannot afford downtime or performance degradation — databases, ERP, accounting, line-of-business systems.
How It Works:
A dedicated on-site recovery appliance (leased or purchased) spins up server workloads locally during an outage. Users keep working at near-production performance while repairs happen in the background.
Includes:
On-site recovery appliance · Local server failover · Near-production performance · Cloud recovery as secondary option · Target recovery time: up to 4 hours · Minimal user disruption
Why It Costs Less
Dedicated on-site hardware, local compute and storage, faster response handling, and continuity-focused design — this ensures business operations continue while underlying issues are resolved.
Assessment — We audit your current environment: what exists, what’s at risk, what would take longest to recover.
Plan Design — We recommend the right OmniShield 360 tier and build a recovery plan around your actual business needs and risk tolerance.

Yes — OmniShield 360 Advanced DR is included in the Advanced and Critical managed IT tiers. Standalone DR plans are also available.
Backups run automatically — typically daily or more frequently depending on your plan. Recovery testing is performed on a scheduled basis.
Backup stores copies of your data. Disaster recovery goes further — it restores your entire operating environment so your business can keep running, not just recover files.
