Many organisations have now decided that the only acceptable backup site is one under their own control and entirely dedicated to their own use. In summary, the main shortcomings of a shared service are as follows:
- Built to someone else’s requirements and specifications
- Not in ideal locations and sometimes spread across multiple sites
- Workplaces and platforms not guaranteed in the event of a disaster (1st come/1st served or proportionally allocated)
- Sharing an environment with others
- Not able to base staff at the site
- Not able to utilise the space on a day to day basis
- Not able to run trials as and when required
- Security of tenure depends upon provider liquidity.
3D Recovery provide a service enabling companies to have their own dedicated backup site, incorporating a live datacentre and workplace facilities, built to their own specification in every detail, at their preferred location – and all at an extremely competitive cost.
The benefits of a dedicated site are numerous:
- Built to client specification at preferred location.
- Can allow for projected growth in requirements.
- Testing can be arranged as often as required, whenever required.
- Operational staff may be based permanently at the site if so desired.
- Site support may be still be outsourced if preferred
- Datacentre facilities can be provided for systems resilience – live mirroring/replication etc for immediate failover and rapid recovery capability.
