Business Continuity

Your data and corporate intelligence are the lifelines of your business. Without protection and a sound business continuity plan, your business is vulnerable and at a competitive disadvantage. You need the assurance that your business will continue unabated despite power outages, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, disgruntled employees, or just about any threat or disruption. Datatrend can help your organization develop and implement solutions that protect against security threats, reduce the impact of planned downtime, and minimize the downtime of applications and data caused by unplanned disruptions.

Datatrend is prepared to help you with the IT portion of your business continuity planning activities. When developing a business continuity solution for clients, Datatrend addresses the following:

• Analysis of the storage infrastructure – including direct attached storage, storage area networks, network attached storage, etc. – and how the organization currently manages storage resources
• Analysis of the server infrastructure and the different tools, technologies, and approaches that can be brought to bear depending on the environment (UNIX, Windows, Linux, etc.)
• Whether consolidation or virtualization can be leveraged to develop a continuity plan
• IT policies and best practices that, when implemented, can help enable and support business continuity for the enterprise

Solutions to Fit the Need

Datatrend can help your organization design and/or implement a business continuity solution that addresses one or more of the following needs:

• Backup/Restore – Develop a well-planned backup/restore solution that prevents data loss in the event of server or application failure, and minimizes downtime in a disaster. Datatrend will consider the landscape of server/storage realms existing in your environment and tailor a solution to your unique data requirements. We ensure that the critical success factors are properly addressed, including data value, data growth, and operational processes.
• Disaster Recovery – A well-designed disaster recovery plan is vital to the survival of your organization. Datatrend’s approach takes into account what redundancies are needed in the key layers of the technology stack, how applications and databases are strategically deployed in the context of disasters, and how applications and processes are monitored and controlled. Our solutions are designed to be highly reliable and affordable, but without the unnecessary complications that can add risk and unneeded variability.
• High Availability - Improve your system's availability and round-the-clock access to applications and data. Datatrend’s high availability solutions help you avoid system downtime which leads to lost productivity, lost revenue, customer dissatisfaction, and a weakened market position. We can help you from planning to design to implementation, and we provide solutions for single sites or geographically dispersed sites. Through a variety of technologies and approaches, our solutions will lower the costs associated with downtime by preventing outages and reducing the impact if they do occur.

Assessing Your Risk

Datatrend can perform an assessment of your IT infrastructure to help you determine the state of your systems and whether you are vulnerable to an outage or a threat. The assessment includes discovery and reporting that evaluates a variety of critical factors, including lack of backup-restore software, current utilization of clustering, lack of redundant SAN connectivity, unacceptably low storage utilization, and more. Our assessment can be a cost-effective first step toward a business continuity solution.
