Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning
Statistics show that only 35% of small to medium size businesses (the SMB marketplace) have a data disaster recovery/business continuity plan. In fact, 73% of SMB networks have neither onsite or off site data backup!
A Good Plan Increases Your Chances of Recovery
There is no reason a temporary setback should turn into a permanent loss – if you protect your data before disaster strikes. The first step is to look at the volume of your data, your data recovery requirements to keep your business running in a disaster and your current data protection strategies. From there, we will pull together a DR/BC solution utilizing the best proven tools from top tier vendors such as HP, EMC, VMware and Cisco. Your data disaster recovery plan will include a graphical and textual solution description and an executive level materials and project budget for your own internal review and planning. Focus offers extensive experience in the design and implementation of onsite and offsite data disaster recovery and business continuity solutions.
Direct Capital has been working with Focus for over five years as trusted and dependable provider of IT consulting and solutions. During that time, Focus has consistently provided knowledgeable business and technical advice and has assisted us to upgrade our email system and to provide general support for our LAN and WAN infrastructure. Our most recent project addressed deploying a consolidated SAN infrastructure for our core applications and improving our backup and recovery of critical data. Focus engineers designed and deployed a solution which increased our data storage performance and reliability and significantly improved our backup infrastructure. The disk-based backup solution which we implemented has decreased our backup windows from 72 hours down to just over 12, and has dramatically improved our restore capability. This is solution which Focus architected has positioned us well for future virtualization and DR solutions.
