RMNS business disaster recovery services can keep you in business.
We believe DRP is not just about reacting to an incident. It's more than disaster recovery, crisis management, risk management control or technology recovery. - It's about your brand and your reputation.
Every time your system goes down, your performance suffers - and so does your service to your customers. And that impacts on your brand.
It doesn't have to be a major disaster to bring down your system - 90% of downtime comes from 'quiet catastrophes'. Your customers don't know the causes - they just know if you are not there to do business, while your competitors still are.
You need a business continuity strategy that can get your business operations back up and running fast and we have answers for your organisation. Call us and we'll tailor a business continuity plan for you that includes a business impact analysis, risk assessment, strategy development, continuity plans, crisis management, disaster recovery, simulations and system testing, awareness and education.
Thinking About The Unthinkable? IT Interruption, IT Loss
You hope you will never have to face it, but smart companies know they must address IT disaster issues before they strike.
Thats why many RMNS clients sign on for our comprehensive Disaster Recovery Planning program each tailored to their specific business needs.
Disaster Recovery Planning: A Highly Detailed Collaboration
Designed exclusively by RMNS, this multi-faceted program helps preserve your businesses ability to recover following power outages, power spikes, server loss, fire, flooding, Acts of God disasters of any kind that could critically impact your business for hours, days, weeks, or even months.
Depending on the level of engagement, RMNS can recover data, replace hardware, set up a satellite data center, relocate key personnel, help move your entire office. Whatever it takes, the RMNS Disaster Recovery Plan delivers.
RMNS recognises that Disaster Recovery is crucial to businesses as computer systems need to be operational as often as possible and data loss can have a severe impact on a business. Disaster Recovery is a separate specialised area and committing to an RMNS SLA alone does not cover your DRP requirements.
Disaster can strike in a number of forms it can be catastrophic such as fire or theft or less dramatic such as a component failure or a virus attack. Whatever the type of problem that arises, it is important that sufficient planning and forethought has been undertaken to deal with the issue efficiently.
This document is designed to give you an overview of DRP options and generic costs and information to help lead you to the correct DRP for you. In consultation with RMNS, we would then design, implement, document and test the DRP tailored to suit your specific requirements.
There are 2 crucial questions that need to be answered to help us make recommendations for your disaster recovery requirements:
How much data are you prepared to lose?
The minimum recommendation is for a nightly backup to be made that will store all of your crucial data.
In the worst case scenario, a disaster at the end of a working day may mean that an organisation has to revert to the last successful backup which may mean a full day (or more) of data is lost.
Methods exist to reduce the amount of data that is lost in the event of certain disasters the cost to setup obviously goes up as the potential for the amount of data possibly lost goes down.
How long can your computer system be non-operational?
Data loss is one issue downtime is another. In the event of a disaster, there will be a certain amount of time that your computer system will be non-operational.
In an organisation with no specific Disaster Recovery Plan in place, this might be up to 5 days (or possibly more).
Specific Disaster Recovery options exist that give specific time frames depending on the nature of the disaster.
Again as the time to recover is reduced, the cost to setup the initial plan increases.
If you would like to further discuss your Disaster Recovery Plan options, then speak to an RMNS consultant to design your specific DRP.
If you have a DRP and are on an SLA, the DRP will be checked as one of the items on the regular maintenance check. (A Disaster Recovery Planning is not included as a standard part of an RMNS-PROTECT or a Service Level Agreement except Platinum)
