Disaster Recovery

Are you protected if a disaster strikes your business?

Approximately 40% of businesses that suffer from a disaster go out of business within two years if they do not have an adequate disaster recovery plan1. Ensuring your information assets are protected is crucial to ensuring your business's survival should a disaster strike.

Disaster Recovery: Achievable and affordable.

A Disaster Recovery system is a combination of technology and business process that allow your business to quickly and easily recover from a full site failure - whether fire, storm or data destruction. Disaster Recovery systems can range from protecting only business-critical systems, through to protecting the organisation's entire IT infrastructure. Effective Disaster Recovery protection can be tailored for your organisation's risk profile and recovery requirements.

Effective business processes and regular testing are key to ensuring that recovery from a disaster will be smooth and successful.

Capable Disaster Recovery is not as expensive as you might think. By classifying systems into appropriate recovery classes and utilising physical-to-virtual, virtual-to-virtual and/or storage replication technologies, we can tailor a Disaster Recovery system to suit your business.

How we can help you.

Our services in the Disaster Recovery space include:

Disaster Recovery Systems: In a collaborative process, we work with you to determine your disaster recovery requirements, design the Disaster Recovery environment and implement the technology and business processes for your Disaster Recovery system.

Risk Assessment: Utilising our expert consultants, we customise a scorecard representing your business's tolerance for risk and ability to withstand downtime and data loss.  By investigating your existing protection systems we can then measure whether they meet your business requirements, and make recommendations if they don't.

Disaster Recovery Testing: A Disaster Recovery system is only as good as it's last test. We safely simulate a mock disaster to ensure that your Disaster Recovery system will allow you to recover your important business applications quickly.
