Disaster Recovery (DR): the process, policies and procedures related to preparing for the recovery and/or continuation of technology infrastructure critical to an organization after a natural or human-induced disaster.
The availability of technology infrastructure and data is essential to the day-to-day operations of any business. Because of this, Disaster Recovery has become an IT necessity rather than just a luxury. System and Data availability (aka Recovery Point Objective (RPO)) is not the only criteria for a complete disaster recovery solution. Shortening the time from the disaster to when your business is back up and productive (aka Recovery Time Objective (RTO)) is a key factor in a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. These DR solutions can often be quite complex which is why many organization struggle building or maintaining viable DR solutions. Rather than focusing purely on RTO or RPO, DSM leverages its twentyfive years experience to design and build affordable Recovery Solutions. This design and build approach ensures the Recovery Strategy maps directly to your business requirements.
DSM’s Next Generation Disaster Recovery Solution adds immediate value by being completely customizable and scalable. DSM’s vast experience in DR allows it to tailor a solution that is cost effective and applicable to your infrastructure. Hurricanes and fires are a small component of what has to be addressed; with cyber threats rising and the fact a server could crash without outside influence, businesses require a capable solution that is both scalable and affordable.
DSM’s Recovery Solutions are more efficient and reliable, optimizing budget and providing RTO and RPO in as little as one to four hours. In addition, DSM’s DRaaS (DR as a Service) takes the recovery solution a step further by automating much of the arduous processes that would normally be handled by internal staff. Previous solutions required rigorous testing procedures that typically failed and did not scale from year to year. Consequently, DSM has built a next generation virtual recovery solution that delivers signficant efficiency, scalability and reliability. The outcome to DSM’s approach is concise procedures enabling you to focus on the recovery rather than rebuilding the site from tapes and a pile of hardware. This ultimately enables users to enjoy successful testing… every time… guaranteed.
