Business Continuity
All businesses experience some type of business interruption - whether it be hardware failure, operator error, malicious attack, or a catastrophic event. Business continuity planning is how a business prepares and protects itself from any manner of IT interruption. A business continuity plan details the specific steps that are to be taken should such an event occur.
Another 9's Operational Assurance Continuum is a scalable solution that evolves and grows with your business needs. Operational Assurance begins with offsite data storage and ranges to comprehensive systems that guarantee the availability of your data and applications at all times. A SAS 70 audit certified supplier of data warehousing, backup, offsite, and hot site replication services, we have achieved the highest standard of compliance rating given by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Offsite Backups
Our smart offsite backup solution for servers, desktops and laptops gives you an encrypted, verified, restorable offsite backup (at our Westchester colocation facility) of your critical operating system files, organizational data, files and folders, email, and databases. This reliable way of backing up your systems ensures you can recover from any IT emergency. For another layer of protection, you can have your data further replicated and stored at a secondary location provided by one of our partners. This provides peace of mind and lets you sleep at night knowing your data is protected and secure.
Warmsite Replication
Warmsite Replication is a step up from off-site backup with a pre-planned recovery of system, data, and application functionality. This service is designed for businesses that can live with some data loss and anticipated downtime in their mission-critical environments. Recovery time can take from 30 minutes to 8 hours. Data is synchronized between sites infrequently or via periodic update from backup tapes or a data vault service account.
Warmsite service is the most cost effective way to prepare for IT disaster recovery. Although it's not a real-time backup, the pre-planning benefit significantly reduces the many variables which can keep an organization from recovering from a disaster quickly.
Hotsite Replication
Hotsite Replication anticipates the need for the immediate recovery of system, data, and application functionality. Hotsite Replication is designed for businesses that have a short Recovery Time Objective and a critical Recovery Point Objective who cannot tolerate downtime in their mission-critical environment. Recovery time can take 1 to 5 minutes and data is continuously synchronized between our site and your servers. This is the option of choice for e-commerce sites.
Hotsite Replication is the best possible way to keep systems available at all times, or be restored to operation in the shortest possible timeframe.
Workgroup Housing
A final element in business continuity planning is providing for an alternative location for your personnel should your primary site be unavailable for any reason. We offer contingency operations space on contract basis. Our business continuance center can accommodate people space requirements as small as 2 seats to add yet another layer of protection within your business continuity plan.
