Let us help you develop a service continuity and disaster recovery plan. At Miosa 24 we work with you to develop a cost effective IT service continuity plan, tailored to meet the needs of your business. Analysis of your business requirements and development of a plan tailored to your specific business. Miosa 24 have years of experience supporting financial firms in the city, and can use this experience to tailor solutions to any kind of business. It is not always the IT Department that leads the drive for a business continuity plan, and this is something that effects the whole organisation, and is often led at board level. When we work with a client to develop a plan we typically start by trying to figure out how much downtime costs them, vs the cost of implementing a solution. A small business with a single server relies on a cheap tape backup. If the server is completely lost, for whatever reason, and all we have is a tape, it might take a day to buy a new server, and another day to restore the data from tape and get things up and running again. The first step to planning for disaster is to try and prevent it in the first place. Having an engineer perform a monthly health check is another recommendation we make to all our clients. Tapes and some Hard Disk Solutions typically require manual intervention to change the tape or Hard Disk each day. This requires a procedure to be enforced and checked. In small businesses the Office Manager may get the task of taking the tape home, in larger businesses there may be a requirement for keeping the tape off site for archiving and security purposes in which case we can arrange courier pickups and secure storage at a data storage facility. In these facilities tapes and disks are stored in an environmentally controlled and secure warehouse and can be dispatched back to you within 4 hours in the event of an emergency. Well essentially where before you have one of everything it means we have two of everything. The dilemma is typically that if your business is based in one location it is impossible to make everything redundant against all possible scenarios. A duplication of your entire coms room with real-time replication of your entire business system, located offsite. In order to achieve this we use a mixture of technologies but they are mainly based around full replication of virtualised servers using Double Take Software. It’s a complex business, and we have been called in to help several companies fix installations that have not gone well. Once set up professionally a fully redundant system is the most reassuring investment a company can make. Through our partner ICM in Wapping and Maidstone we have extensive facilities for up to 1,000 employees for full continuation of your business in the event of a disaster.
