Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery is probably the most overlooked and under budgeted items in today’s networks, which is unfortunate since often times we don’t think about it until disaster strikes, after all isn’t your data the most important thing to your business. In recent studies conducted it has been found that about 90% of small businesses that have suffered from catastrophic data loss will go out of business within two years. Although these statistics are quite grim, with Adaptive networks this doesn’t have to happen to your business. We design backup systems that can support both onsite and offsite backup; each has distinctly different advantages. Onsite backup allows faster backups and restores; however is vulnerable to natural disasters, theft and user error. On the other end of the spectrum is offsite backup, which is becoming increasingly more prominent in small businesses. Offsite backup is completely automated and requires no user interaction which eliminates the possibility of user error. Additionally, offsite backups are kept in enterprise class data centers that support nearly 100% uptime, backup sets are also duplicated across multiple geographically dispersed data centers ensuring that your data is safe even in the event of a catastrophic natural disaster.

There are a number of items that need to be considered when designing a backup plan and overlooking a single one can be costly. Some of the considerations are listed below.

How long can my business afford to be down if disaster strikes?

What kind of retention is required for regulatory compliance?

Can my data be restored correctly with my current system? Have we ever tested our backup?

Where is my data if a regional disaster strikes?
