Disaster Recovery

Keeping Applications Running When Disaster Strikes

In an increasingly uncertain world the threats to the business come from many directions. Flood, power outages, hurricanes, earthquakes, malicious attacks and more — the potential for disasters has never been greater for today's businesses.

Yet sometimes a disaster is more mundane. A localized power failure which takes down a server-room, or an air conditioning unit which fails provide similar threats. A Disaster Recovery solution must be ready to switch the IT Service to another location. This may be across the road or across the world, in either case the Disaster Recovery approach must provide rapid failover, and just as seamless switchback so that business users can continue to work.

Employees and customers must be able to connect to business-critical applications at any time, day or night. Access to these applications becomes even more critical in the event of a disaster.

What's more, Disaster Recovery has become even more critical for most industries as they face stricter compliance, audit and regulatory requirements.

Disaster Recovery solutions based on backup do not work. The recovery time will be hours, if not days. Even on-line backup systems will need to be recovered, with servers and applications having to be rebuilt.

For critical business systems nothing short of a complete copy of business applications and data is acceptable. This must be maintained and up to date in a remote location that is ready to be started at a moments notice. After the disaster is over it must be possible to switchback to the original location without user disruption.

Neverfail provides a proven, award-winning solution for disaster recovery that ensures user productivity and application availability whether the disaster is environmental or man-made.
