The Hilltop Blog

Hilltop Consultants, Inc. has joined the DC Chamber of Commerce. 

For over 70 years the DC Chamber of Commerce has helped businesses both large and small. As the leading business organization in the Washington Metro Region, the Chamber serves a diverse membership of over 2,000 individuals.

Hilltop's DC location, near Dupont Circle, is the third Hilltop Computer Shop and it houses office space for the downtown-based consulting team.

Hilltop InSight prevents the need for tapes or external hard drives.  Your company or personal data is backed up to a Network Attached Storage Device which can be locked in your server room.  The data is then encrypted and synchronized to with a secure server in a datacenter.  At no point, can your data be stolen or misplaced.  Your entire server room could melt down, and your data would still be safe with Hilltop.  In the event of a fire, Hilltop could have your servers and data available the same day.

This company was likely storing data on some type of removable storage such as tape or external hard drive.  See the link below.

Hilltop InSight starts at $250 per month for up to 250GB of data.  This is far less than the cost of the lawsuits this company is going to face.

Since Hilltop launched InSight managed service a year ago we've added a lot of value into the program. Now InSight encompasses: 

• pro-active monitoring of an entire network
• nightly, automated maintenance
• unlimited remote helpdesk
• data backup and disaster recovery
• virus/malware blocking and removal

We launched InSight in portions throughout 2009 to focus on getting each piece exactly right for our clients. While the whole is technically impressive because each component is built with industry-leading technology, we know the real value is in how InSight streamlines your operation. 

Up to half a dozen different contracts and licenses can be collapsed into one, comprehensive InSight managed-service plan, and Hilltop clients are seeing the return on investment. 

We've got the details right. In 2010 we're focused on helping you streamline. Contact us to learn more. 

Plus, we'll pay you for a passing along what you already know about InSight. Refer a business, firm, or assocation to Hilltop and receive a $250 referral bonus when they sign up for InSight managed services. Please ask your referral to give us your full name, phone number, and email address so we can contact you with the $250. Or, use our Web form to drop us a referral.
