RackSpace- Disaster Recovery Solution

Disaster Recovery Services

Every business should have a business continuity plan in place. Not an idea, but a well articulated and detailed course of action to ensure that their business can get through a disaster and continue on in the aftermath. This plan includes crisis management, business procedures/processes and work area management to name a few considerations.

Another important, yet often overlooked part of your business continuity plan is IT disaster recovery (DR). In broad terms, this is how you deal with and prevent IT downtime. Even if every other part of your business continuity plan is executed perfectly, you remain at a standstill if your IT systems go down and stay down. And the situation will only get worse as your revenue and reputation take a beating.

Remember, Disaster Recovery Isn't The Same As Disaster Prevention

There's a huge difference between disaster prevention and disaster recovery. Both are necessary. But the former only mitigates the risk of downtime. The latter makes sure if downtime happens you can actually get your IT back online quickly.






Rackspace DR Solutions Put Affordable & Reliable DR within Your Reach

Unless you're one of the few businesses in the world that has the money, data centers, hardware, networks, and expertise, in-house DR is difficult—if not impossible. When you do DR yourself, there are just too many technical complexities and too many compromises struck between minimizing downtime and controlling costs for DR to be reliable. Fortunately for businesses, Rackspace makes designing, deploying and managing a DR plan less painful—and more affordable.
