AUBURN HILLS – Plexus Systems, provider

of Plexus Online on-demand software for the manufacturing enterprise,

announces it has set key targets for data continuity and disaster recovery

for its innovative Plexus Online Software as a Service.

Using a redundant infrastructure with replicated data offsite, and the

latest in data streaming technology, Plexus Systems has targeted the third

quarter of 2008 to meet aggressive recovery point objective and

recovery time objective goals of two hours. The targets are in line

with the world’s leading technology providers for continuity and disaster

recovery planning.

This new technology enables the Plexus Online ERP Solution to be

restored within two hours of a disaster with data that is no older than 2

hours. The targets support Plexus Online’s business edge of providing

on-demand accessibility using the SaaS model.

The exceptional recovery targets are made possible by live data

streamlining between the company’s primary data center in Auburn Hills,

Michigan and data center back up in Asheville, North Carolina.

“This approach delivers a level of responsiveness, redundancy and

safety for our clients that is virtually impossible for them to match with

an internal system deployment,” said Mark Symonds, CEO and president of

Plexus. “Our clients operate their entire business on our on-demand

software. Our priority is that manufacturers using the Plexus Online

solution will minimize the time and cost of recovering from service outages

and disasters with industry-leading disaster recovery and improved business

continuity.”

Plexus Online, built on a “Software as a Service” (SaaS) model, offers

more than 350 functional modules, providing manufacturers instant access to

vital information and management functions using a simple Web browser. The

on-demand solution features enterprise resource planning (ERP) functions

such as accounting and finance modules, customer relationship management

(CRM) features such as order entry and tracking, manufacturing execution

systems (MES) functions such as production scheduling and machine

integration and supply chain management (SCM) functions such as supplier

quality and traceability.
