Disaster Recovery : Expert Planning and Implementation Consultants
When properly planned and implemented, a Disaster Recovery plan makes possible the retrieval of data and the resumption of system operations. Such procedures are a critical part of computer operations at all levels, especially those involving multi-user systems that provide back office operations. A solid disaster recovery plan is something every company that uses computers should not be without.
We review all computer systems, determine what risks exist, the likelihood of those risks, and what impacts and recovery times are acceptable. We will provide multiple alternative solutions allowing the business to decide which solution is best for them based on various factors including costs, system downtime, etc. We have a wealth of experience in not only identifying the critical risks but also in providing affordable solutions to achieve the desired protection. Each additional level of protection does normally constitute an additional cost so we will help you determine the must haves versus the want to haves because no one wants to pay for protection that they do not need.
Any decent Disaster Recovery Plan should ensure that backup media is stored in a secure off-site location and requires a periodic test be run to prove that the systems can be recovered from backup in the event a disaster strikes. Two important aspects of a disaster recovery plan is to provide a means to: (1) restore the integrity of the computer systems in the event of a hardware/software failure or physical disaster, and (2) provide a measure of protection against human error or the inadvertent deletion of important files.
Our disaster recovery experts employ solutions that are predictable, reliable, and capable of processing data as quickly as possible. Challenges that are faced by organizations in managing systems and data include:
- Ensuring high availability with little to no non-scheduled downtime
- Managing growth of the data and backup requirements
- Operating within short, or possibly non-existent, data backup windows
- Supporting existing systems that cannot be easily upgraded to the latest hardware and/or software
- Determining overall costs of downtime
- Comparing costs versus reward of the various backup solutions
