Disaster Recovery Solutions that are Quick & Accurate
What is Disaster Recovery?
In business, a computer disaster equals an event that halts the normal operation of day-to-day business activities. A disastrous event can involve
- system malfunctions
- operational errors
- virus attacks
- acts of nature
- accidents, or sabotage
Why is it important?
The result of such a disaster is that business stops - orders cease to be placed, accounting activities freeze, data is unavailable, electronic communications halt, and the company has no access to decision-critical information. All of these events cost companies revenue and may result in unrecoverable damage. A disaster and business continuance plan requires supplying a business with the tools necessary to recover data accurately and quickly after such a disaster. Any such continuance plan must be tailored to a client's business needs. Recovery for some businesses must be instantaneous, with no perceived downtime. Businesses of this type include medicine, where patient records must be available at all times, and the financial industry, where stock positions change continuously. Other companies can tolerate one or two hours of downtime. Very few can afford a downtime period longer than a few hours, and no company can afford the loss of critical information.
