Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery is one of the most important factors for most businesses,
yet it is often overlooked or considered too expensive to implement.

Disaster recovery solutions enable a business to continue working in the
event of fire, theft, malfunction or terrorism. By preparing for disaster
recovery, your business will not lose any valuable data, configurations
or time, saving you money in the long run.

By backing up data, applications, and settings continuously, to a secure
location, your business will be ready for any disaster situation.

Any proven IT company can provide these services, but at what cost, and how good
is it?

Since the introduction of Citrix and Microsoft's Terminal Services, it has been possible to provide these disaster recovery services at a much lower cost, with greatly enhanced security
benefits.

Switch your IT system to a corporate-level, Terminal Services environment
and what you get is a complete disaster recovery solution for a much
lower cost than you would expect.

As well as having your data and applications held in secure data centres,
your data could be continuously backed up, providing total disaster recovery.
The ultimate solution is to have complete redundancy for your IT system
and this involves not having any single point of failure within your
IT infrastructure.

Imagine having your company's entire data, software and structure housed
in two separate data centres, spread across two different ISPs, and having
all your systems and data held on servers that have their own backup
servers to automatically switch on, in the event of failure.

Most corporations do not have this level of redundancy, but for a fixed,
monthly fee, this and more is possible for companies with anything from
two uses to a thousand users.

Apart from all the mentioned benefits, you could also get the power
of hosted Microsoft Exchange, Outlook Web Access, easy Blackberry
mobile
integration, hosted Microsoft CRM, and for the ultimate peace of mind, you can have portable security keys as used by major companies around the world to secure data,
where password-only protection fails.

These systems and solutions put companies back in control of their IT,
as systems are centrally managed, updated and supported from outside
company offices, providing a completely outsourced solution that will
save you money, instead of costing more.

Some companies get nervous by the prospect of their entire data being
held offsite, but this can be the safest option as multi-million pound
data centres have all the facilities to safeguard and protect your data
24 hours a day.

With high-powered backup generators, security patrols and fire suppression
equipment, your data and applications will be in complete safety, giving
you a powerful remote system with disaster recovery to take your business
to the next level.

Network London provides remote access systems and disaster
recovery to businesses in London and Europe.
