......Is Your Business At Risk.......????
How long would it take your company to recover if your computer data were lost or Corrupted?
 
Following are common problems that can destroy your company's valuable data:

 

  • Natural disasters including flooding, storm damage and lightning
  • Fire, intense heat, smoke and steam
  • Power interruptions, brownouts and power surges
  • Equipment failure and equipment damage
  • Human error, sabotage, vandalism and loss
  • Software "glitches" and programming errors

 
Hardware and software failures account for nearly three quarters of all data loss or corruption and business interruption.

As a quick thought experiment, the next time you are in your data center, look around, and imagine for a moment that it is gone. And not just the computers. Imagine that the entire building no longer exists. Next, imagine that your job is to get as much of the work that was being done in the data center going in some fashion, some where, as soon as possible. What would you do?

By thinking about this, you have taken the first step of disaster recovery. Disaster recovery is the ability to recover from an event impacting the functioning of your organization's data center as quickly and completely as possible. The type of disaster may vary, but the end goal is always the same.

Here at DCC, we keep corporations of all types up-and-running during times of severe stress or disaster. We provide back-up facilities for their people and computer systems and help ensure that important customer service operations continue, no matter what.

The disaster recovery services we provide to our customers enable them to successfully plan, and implement business continuity strategies for customer accounting and transaction processing systems. These plans are based on industry best practices, enhanced with innovation, and regularly tested for performance.

We require that all of our employees are trained and maintain a highly professional work ethic.

We approach the needs of our customers with a great deal of pride, sense of urgency, and total commitment until the project is complete. By meeting the needs of our customers we will also achieve our own goals of quality performance at a fair price with maximum results.

With the increasing importance of information technology for the continuation of business critical functions, combined with a transition to an around-the-clock economy, the importance of protecting an organization's data and IT infrastructure in the event of a disruptive situation has become an increasing and more visible business priority in recent years.

Strategies for Data Protection

The following is a list of the most common strategies for data protection.

  1. Backups made to tape and then sent to an off-site at regular intervals.
  2. Backups made to disk on-site and then automatically copied to the off-site disk
  3. Replication of data to an off-site location, which overcomes the need to restore the data This is achieved by making use of Storage Area Network (SAN) technology.
  4. High availability systems which keep both the data and system replicated off-site, enabling continuous access to systems and data.
Why DCC.......?

DCC offers the ideal environment for a mission-critical Disaster Recovery Location!

A disaster recovery site is vital, but it is still useless without a disaster recovery plan. A disaster recovery plan dictates every facet of the process, including but not limited to:

  • What events denote possible disasters, and what people in the organization have the authority to declare a disaster, and thereby put the plan into effect
  • The sequence of events necessary to prepare the backup site once a disaster has been declared
  • The roles and responsibilities of all key personnel with respect to carrying out the plan
  • An inventory of the necessary hardware and software required to restore production
  • A schedule listing the personnel that will be staffing the backup site, including a rotation schedule to support ongoing operations without burning out the disaster team members
  • The sequence of events necessary to move operations from the backup site to the restored/new data center

DCC Engineers will work with your team to customize your Disaster Recovery site specifically to meet your requirements.
