Too often, the concept of Disaster Recovery gets compared to simple data recovery or backup solutions when in fact, Disaster Recovery is so much more.

At the heart of any modern business is your IT infrastructure, and at the heart of that are your data and business application servers. What happens when that server is struck by misfortune? Fires, Floods, Theft, Cybercrime or even just unexpected breakdowns. All are guaranteed to grind your productivity to a halt.

In the past, Disaster Recovery Solutions would center around the idea of a hotsite, a backup office space complete with a replication of your business server environment, workspaces and an internet connection. This essentially means that not only is there a large initial capital outlay for the necessary equipment, there is also the ongoing cost of the management of this service. This means you basically end up paying rent on an entire duplication of your business infrastructure that you hope you never have to use.

With Absolute Disaster Recovery you won’t be paying for any additional equipment or physical office space. Absolute Cloud Solutions has successfully managed to combine the latest in Business Continuity Cloud Technology with a fully managed Disaster Recovery service. Finally, we have made it possible to offer a Disaster Recovery service that offers an excellent Return To Operation (RTO) of as little as an hour and a Restore Point Objective (RPO) of as little as twenty minutes. All for a fixed out-of-disaster monthly fee at a fraction of the monthly cost of traditional Disaster Recovery solutions.

How does it work?

With Cloud technology you only need to pay for exactly what processing resources and data storage space you need. This means that your monthly out of disaster cost is based solely the amount of servers and data you have. Your in disaster operating costs are based on the Cloud resources your company would need to function. This allows us to accurately forecast your in-disaster operating costs so that there are no financial surprises. Furthermore, this is charged per hour, so you only pay for exactly what you need, when you need it.

By utilising the power of the Cloud, we can offer unsurpassed Business Continuity Objectives. Our impressive Restore Point Objective (RPO) is achieved by checking for any changes to your business server several times an hour, uploading only the changes that have taken place. By doing this, we can ensure the maximum probability of there being only a short amount of time between a crash and your last update to the Cloud server while minimising the impact this has on your network. Additionally, version tracking means that even in the event of malicious software hack that goes undetected for a period of time, we are able to roll back to the most recent version of your company servers that are free of any damage.

The flexibility of Cloud Technology allows us to offer a Return To Operation (RTO) within as little as an hour. In the event of your servers going down while the rest of your company workspace remains intact, all we need to do is switch you over to your cloned servers in the Cloud. Even if you no longer have a usable office workspace, your staff could proceed with business as usual from any PC or laptop with an internet connection. They could work from home or from a temporary office space. This makes for a vastly improved Return To Operation (RTO) time when compared to traditional Disaster Recovery services as your “hotsite” can be wherever is most convenient for you and your employees.

All of this makes Absolute Disaster Recovery a more comprehensive, affordable managed service, far superior to traditional Disaster Recovery solutions.
