Disaster Recovery Solutions

As IT systems have become increasingly critical to the smooth operation of a company, and arguably the economy as a whole, the importance of ensuring the continued operation of those systems, or the rapid recovery of the systems, has increased. Of companies that had a major loss of business data, 43% never reopen, 51% close within two years, and only 6% will survive long-term.

Kenneally Technology’s Disaster Recovery Solutions can assist you to ensure that your business can carry on in the event of a catastrophic disaster.

Our Disaster Recovery Solutions include some of the following and more:

• Ensure that backups made to tape and sent off-site at regular intervals
• Ensure that backups made to disk on-site and automatically copied to off-site disk, or made directly to off-site disk
• Replication of data to an off-site location, which overcomes the need to restore the data (only the systems then need to be restored or synchronized).
• High availability systems which keep both the data and system replicated off-site, enabling continuous access to systems and data

In many cases, an organization may elect to use an outsourced disaster recovery provider to provide a stand-by site and systems rather than using their own remote facilities.

In addition to preparing for the need to recover systems, organizations must also implement precautionary measures with an objective of preventing a disaster in the first place. These may include some of the following:

• Local mirrors of systems and/or data and use of disk protection technology such as RAID
• Surge protectors — to minimize the effect of power surges on delicate electronic equipment
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and/or backup generator to keep systems going in the event of a power failure
• Fire preventions — alarms, fire extinguishers
• Anti-virus software and other security measures
