Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery involves a set of policies, tools and procedures to enable the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced disaster.
Large corporate and government institutions have had disaster recovery plans and policies in place for years.
Small and medium businesses can now implement disaster recovery plans and processes due to lower cost of technology and the emergence of cloud solutions and disaster recovery as a service DRaaS.
A vital question every organisation needs to be able to answer is ‘what are the organisation Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and what is the Recovery Time Objective (RTO)’?
You can discover more below or for further assistance please contact us here.
Recovery Point Objective
A Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is defined by business continuity planning. It is the maximum targeted period in which data (transactions) might be lost from an IT service due to a major incident.
If RPO is measured in minutes (or even a few hours), then in practice, off-site mirrored backups must be continuously maintained; a daily off-site backup on tape will not suffice.
Recovery Point Objective
The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the targeted duration of time and a service level within which a business process must be restored after a disaster (or disruption) in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in business continuity.
Our Disaster recovery Consulting Approach follows a core methodology now dubbed DDIM (Discover, Design, Implement & Manage), which enables us to ensure every solution/service suits your business needs, not ours! This enables to ensure that each solution goes through the same core process of:
BCDR
Preparedness means that you should have a solid business continuity and disaster recovery plan (BCDR plan). One that has been tested and that can be put in motion smoothly.
Discover
Understand your needs and identify the right solutions.
Design
Working with you, we need to ensure that the right solution is designed to meet your business needs and that it resolves any potential issues currently being faced.
Implement
Ensure that the solution can be implemented on time, with the right support and with as little disruption as possible.
Manage
Determine the process to manage the project and the solution and ensure all teams are continually updated.
