Protecting your data is of paramount importance for an organization’s smooth functioning. The consequences of disaster and data loss on businesses is dire. Research indicates that:
94% of companies that suffer from a catastrophic data loss do not survive – 43% never reopen and 51% close within two years (University of Texas)
7 out of 10 small firms that experience a major data loss go out of business within a year (DTI/Price Waterhouse Coopers)
96% of all business workstations are now backed up (Contingency Planning and Strategic Research Corporation)
Planning
NPV’s Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) planning is intended to help you prepare your business against unforeseen risks that may lead to data loss. Business Continuity refers to the comprehensive planning necessary to safeguard the organization’s IT future. It includes steps related to Disaster Recovery (such as data backup), as well as steps taken to ensure the safety and security of the organization (such installing timely safety patches).
Disaster Recovery refers to steps taken to backup and restore your data in the event of a disaster caused by system failure, theft, malware, human error, and so on.
NPV can help you prepare an effective BC/DR plan, as well implement the recommended solutions. Some of our services in this regard are listed below.
Backup
Having a comprehensive backup scheme in place to ensure business continuity is vital. At NPV Corporation, we understand that necessity and offer a combination of remote and on-site backup services ensuring that you never miss a beat!
Remote: On your Linux and Windows servers, we can install and configure applications to automatically, remotely and securely backup your data to our data centers.
On-Site: We can install a local backup appliance at your place of business, which will synchronize with your local data stores to ensure that you always have a backup copy of your data, readily available, no matter the status of your external network connection.
We offer daily and multiple backups to safeguard your data.
Replication
While daily Data Backup is an important part of of the BC/DR plan, Replication ensures that you don’t lose even a single day’s worth of work. Data Back up occurs daily, Replication occurs instantaneously as you work.
Replication is the process in which a virtual copy of your device is created as you work and update it during the course of the day. This ensures that even if there is a catastrophic data loss as you work, you will not lose that work.
Recovery
NPV brings a wealth of experience working with various vendors and tools to provide reliable and highly available solution for reduced Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for any disaster affecting critical technology services. RTO measures how long before users can access systems in the event of a failure and RPO measures how much of a gap there is in the data when it is restored.
If you have already suffered from data loss, we can help you recover your data and get systems up and running smoothly.
Once you partner with NPV, we will also inform you about how to update your technical infrastructure, and keep you abreast of latest security threats, computer viruses, and phishing attempts. You may also want to read about our Firewall and VPN services.
