You won’t even know we’re here, except for the fact that you won’t have to worry about maintaining and updating the systems that keep you and your business or home office moving ahead. If your system hiccups, Drumbeat automatically creates a ticket in our system. The ticket goes directly to our Tech Kahunas in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. Your issue is then triaged based on urgency, and fixed automatically under Drumbeat Remote

Representative Experience
Type of Client: Retail
Client's Issue: Multiple locations accessing a single database for the Point-of-Sale software. The internet would go out during a transaction and the database would corrupt causing a slowdown at all stores.
Kokua Solution Move the store’s computers and its server to the cloud.
Result: Once the stores and the server were virtualized in the cloud, they were contiguous. When one store’s internet would go out, the transaction would stay intact, and not affect any other stores. When the internet came back up, the store would reconnect to the very transaction they were processing. The other stores never saw a slowdown again!
Type of Client: Publishing
Client's Issue: 11 servers nearing end-of-life.
Kokua Solution The two options were to purchase 11 new servers and cut over, or virtualize the servers in the cloud. The purchase would have been a significant capital expenditure involving depreciation. The cloud option made the servers a deductible business expense. The additional challenge was that this company shuts down only 72 hours per year. They are a 24/7 shop that is closed three days a year. Those days are not in the same week either!
Result: Kokua replicated the 11 servers in the cloud to within 20 percent completion while the business ran. In the 24 hours we were allotted to succeed, we finished the cut-over, changed all the IP addresses and tested all of the equipment. WIN!
Type of Client: Law Firm
Client's Issue: Virus took down the server and multiple PCs.
Kokua Solution Since the client had our Backup and Disaster Recovery server, we shut down their internet, rolled the server back to 15 minutes before the infection and they were back in business
Result: Business continuity is essential. What could have been a disaster turned into a minor blip.
