Continuity/Disaster Recovery and Data Recovery

Nobody expects the worst to happen, but good business continuity strategies mean that if some disaster does strike, your business is protected, you can carry on as if nothing ever happened.  

The fundamental factor in determining a disaster recover plan is understanding your costs of downtime. The more your business loses when a facility is down or system offline is the fundamental driver of your disaster recovery strategy.

• What data is important to my business?
• How quickly do I need to have it back?
• Where should my recovery data be kept?
• Can I be confident that my plan will work when I need it?
• Is the data in the right format for me to quickly use?

The list of challenges is long, but so is the list of solutions that Laurus can bring to the table. 

• Assessment services to review your organization's current continuity plans, the existing and necessary capacities and requirements of your various IT elements, right down to your organizations readiness to implement a plan.
• Ability to bring new and unique solutions to the table—for example, mobile or portable data centers that can be brought in to replace a facility damaged or destroyed by storm, fire, or other disaster.
• Implementation of your disaster recovery strategy, from equipment recommendations to installation and turn-up.
• Preparations to ensure staff readiness for disaster situations.

Nobody expects a disaster to strike.  But good businesses plan anyway.  Depending on your business, the cost of an outage is far greater than the cost of a sound, strategic disaster recovery program.
