Disaster Recovery
Why Do Businesses Need a Disaster Recovery Solution?
Many organizations think that disaster for a business data center equals hurricane, floods and other weather-related events. Research has shown this is simply not the case. Internal human errors, bad hardware along with other “disasters” account for the majority of the causes of a data center outage.
Our DR team focuses on the 5 R’s of Disaster Recovery:
- Respond proactively through continuous monitoring of RPOs and RTOs
- Reduce the magnitude of loss by minimizing downtime
- Recover mission-critical data and applications
- Restore services with minimal disruption
- Return all applications to their operational state in the least possible time
When a disaster strikes, businesses without a thorough disaster recovery solution strategy in place run the risk of losing more than just their valuable data. They can damage their customer’s loyalty and ultimately, do irreparable harm to their overall brand.
