Best Practices in Business Continuity For Internet-Based Systems

Peak10

Not long ago, Web sites were simple, traffic was light and there was little concern about site outages. Those
days are over. In today’s competitive environment, customers demand near-100% system availability. This is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Mission-critical applications and operations require truly mission-critical services and support. This means that companies with mission-critical applications and operations need more than just standard data storage, backup and recovery. They need a complete backup infrastructure that is ready to run in times of emergency or planned maintenance (such as software and server upgrades).

Billions of dollars are already being spent each year on data backup and recovery. This investment indicates
that more and more enterprises are seeing the value of protecting critical data and are concerned about the potential losses due to hardware failure, software bugs and human error.While operational continuity of
critical systems has never been simple or inexpensive, real-time business continuity or disaster recovery is more achievable and economical today than ever before.This is achieved through the development of new methodologies combined with the utilization of modern hosting facilities and technologies.
