Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

DISASTER RECOVERY AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING TO ENSURE HIGH AVAILABILITY AND CONTINUOUS OPERATIONS

In the world of IT, what goes up should never come down. Unfortunately, your business is always at risk of downtime. Natural disasters, technical or human errors, and viruses can all lead to critical disruptions in your access to crucial business applications.

But today, more than ever, downtime is expensive, resource-intensive, and in many cases, unacceptable or illegal because of industry and regulatory requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. You owe it to your company, employees, and shareholders to protect your business data and the systems that support it. In short, you need to enact a comprehensive disaster recovery and business continuity plan that ensures:

· Key business applications and data are protected and available

· Protection costs are predictable and manageable

· Operations continue after an outage or a disaster

Our methodology involves a three-step approach to maintaining high availability and continuous operations:

Assess the regulatory and industry requirements for protecting an environment.

Before implementing any storage, backup, or virtualization solutions, Lighthouse will assess your current and proposed data storage solutions to see if they’re in compliance with government and industry regulations.

Assess and recommend the methods to manage the retained content.

Lighthouse’s engineers perform a detailed assessment of your current state of recoverability. This includes your network, systems, dependencies, and network recovery plan. Following this assessment, we provide you with a summary document of our detailed recommendations to ensure high availability and support your business continuity strategy.

Implement the right technologies to support those plans.

Lighthouse can work with you to match appropriate technologies to your particular set of requirements. You may need point-in-time copies, remote mirroring functions, or redundant hardware to copy data so that it is easily recoverable. Or perhaps you require tape vaulting in order to provide off-site disaster recovery capabilities for your company.

No matter what your needs, Lighthouse has the experience to design, test, and install a disaster recovery plan and business continuity system for you. In addition, our on-site support teams will work with you to keep your storage systems up-to-date and trouble free in the future.

So in the event your IT systems do go down, your company will continue to operate, your data will be protected, and it will be business as usual.
