Downtime costs more than money—it costs customers, reputation, and momentum. Whether you’re protecting against hardware failure, security breaches, or ransomware, a tested backup and recovery strategy is essential.
How is your vital data being accessed?
How much data can you afford to lose in an outage?
How long can your operations stay down before the damage becomes critical?
Your backup plan needs to cover everything your business runs on—communications, file storage, collaboration tools, CRM, accounting systems, and more. We help you identify what’s most critical, build redundancy where it matters, and leverage cloud solutions to improve availability when disaster strikes.
Having backups isn’t enough if you can’t restore them quickly and completely. We ensure your recovery procedures are documented, tested regularly, and measured against realistic recovery time objectives (RTOs). Every system, every platform, every scenario—because partial recovery isn’t recovery at all.
Our team includes IBM Power Systems certified engineers, MIMIX and PowerHA specialists who’ve helped write IBM Redbooks and lead industry user groups. We design disaster recovery strategies tailored to your environment, migration needs, and acceptable downtime thresholds—so when something goes wrong, you’re back up fast.
At minimum, annually for full disaster recovery testing and quarterly for critical system recovery tests. However, best practice is to test whenever you make significant infrastructure changes, add new applications, or update your technology stack. We help establish a testing cadence that matches your risk tolerance and makes sense for your operations.
Backup is copying and storing your data. Disaster recovery is the complete process of restoring systems, applications, and data to get your business operational again after an outage. You can have great backups but still fail at recovery if procedures aren't documented, tested, or comprehensive enough to cover all dependencies between systems.
Start by calculating the real cost of downtime for each critical system—lost revenue, productivity impacts, customer service disruptions, compliance penalties. Your RTO is how long you can afford to be down before those costs become unacceptable. We help you assess this realistically across different systems, since not everything needs the same recovery speed.
Most organizations benefit from a hybrid approach—the "3-2-1 rule": three copies of data, on two different types of media, with one copy off-site. Cloud backup provides geographic redundancy and faster recovery for distributed teams, while on-premises backup offers speed for large data restores. We design the right mix based on your data volume, recovery speed needs, and budget.
You're not alone, and it's fixable. We start with a recovery readiness assessment to identify gaps, document current procedures, and prioritize what needs testing first. Then we build a structured testing program that minimizes disruption to operations while giving you confidence your plan actually works when you need it.
es—this is actually a specialty of ours. Our team includes IBM Power Systems certified engineers with deep expertise in PowerHA, MIMIX, and other high-availability solutions specific to these environments. Many backup providers struggle with Power Systems; we've been doing it for decades.
