Business Continuity

Data Centre Disaster Recovery

Understandably, businesses are becoming increasingly concerned by the consequences of downtime; both in terms of disconnection from the Internet, and the loss of IT capabilities in the workplace.

Many companies have web clusters, featuring multiple database servers and SAN solutions to name just two. However, if a major catastrophe occurred at their data centre, such as an explosion, fire or flood they can lose everything.

Thankfully, we can provide remote Disaster Recovery colocation and Virtual Dedicated Servers for over 30 data centres across our industry renowned network. Previously, these solutions have been prohibitively expensive for most businesses due to the amount of bandwidth and the costs of managing multiple sites. Thanks to our Bournemouth data centre, and our international network, this is no longer the case.

We have two solutions. Firstly, we have our colocation Disaster Recovery solution. This provides space at our Bournemouth data centre with a private, secure interconnect direct to your rack(s) in your current data centre, allowing you to mirror your platform. This has the added benefit of facing no bandwidth bills. You can then use the Bournemouth site as a cost effective failover. Our team of fully trained professionals can manage your hardware installations, upgrades and replacements for you, saving you even more time and money.

Our virtualised Disaster Recover solution provides a private interconnect to your current rack(s) and mirrors your entire web presence onto our virtualisation platform. You would therefore have no costly hardware to buy or manage. Using this solution also incurs no bandwidth costs for mirroring your data. Typically this solution is substantially more cost effective than traditional multi site colocation and hardware solutions.
