Disaster Recovery

Recent research has suggested that on average, 20% of all organisations will experience some form of unplanned event that will disrupt their operations once every five years. Whilst this is unlikely to be as catastrophic as 9/11, there is still the need to think about how you would cope with the impact  more mundane events, such as power cuts, floods and fire, will have on your IT systems and critical data.

According to a survey by the London Chamber of Commerce, 90% of organisations that lose data from a disaster are forced to shut down within 2 years. In addition, if your company is regulated by the FSA, you need to ensure that you can continue to function and meet regulatory obligations in the event of an unforeseen interruption.

Disaster Recovery (DR) ensures that IT systems and data can be quickly restored after unscheduled downtime, minimising the adverse affects on your business that this would otherwise cause.
