How To Eliminate Network Downtimes

According to Gartner, the average cost of network downtime is $5,600 per minute!

This means that organizations cannot afford service outages. In fact, a network downtime could occur due to several reasons - such as power outage, fire, data center issues to name a few. Network downtimes can critically hurt your business and this applies to all businesses- big or small.

So how could you prevent a network downtime?

Through Disaster Recovery Solutions.

You might not be able to prevent disasters from happening, but with a solid disaster recovery plan in place, you can be ready for them when they hit and ensure the least amount of impact on your business.

Why aren’t Backups Enough?

Backups don’t do much to help with downtime over the long term.

To recover from a disaster, data, software, and infrastructure must be replicated.

Therefore, a backup is more like a short term fix to a serious problem. Without a reliable IT replication plan in place, such as Disaster Recovery, your organization faces an ongoing threat to any potential occurrence of a hazard.

So, what is a disaster recovery plan?

A disaster recovery plan ( DRP) is a documented process or set of procedures to execute an organization's disaster recovery processes and recover and protect a business IT infrastructure in the event of a disaster. 

It is "a comprehensive statement of consistent actions to be taken before, during and after a disaster". (Wikipedia)

IT disaster recovery plans provide step-by-step procedures to recover disrupted systems and networks, and they help organizations resume normal operations. The goal of these processes is to minimize any negative impacts on company operations.
