Your business needs to run 24x7. Recovering from IT issues means real business disruption. Disruption you can ill-afford.

Planning for the big failure

Planning for the big failure whether it's someone's fault or plain old bad luck is a significant evolutionary step in any business's progress. The moment that the real assets of the business become part of a plan.

Provision for employees health and safety in the event of a disaster is paramount. Preservation, come what may, of processes and operations vital to the financial health of the business are critical.

However, the infrastructure that binds so many aspects of a DR plan together almost always falls on the shoulders of IT.  In the time honoured way, reliance on a physical infrastructure for DR is accepted practice. Physical infrastructure for DR adds cost. Virtualised infrastructure for DR takes cost away.
It used to be that creating a DR site meant duplicating the physical environment of the live site for the DR site and more importantly duplicating the management and ultimately the cost.
Virtualisation frees systems from their physical machines, decoupling each application from its reliance on specific hardware. The result: a lower cost DR site.

Cloud computing can reduce these further. Simply put, cloud computing extends the concept of dynamic, scalable, virtual resources within your IT infrastructure to outside your IT infrastructure. A DR service over the Internet without any mind for the infrastructure that makes it up.
Together, virtualisation and cloud computing are true enablers of a cost effective disaster recovery technology platform. Serv-IT Consulting can help show you the significance of these technologies in your plan for the big failure and most importantly the cost reduction in moving from physical to virtual to cloud.
