Outsourced Disaster Recovery Services
Testing the recovery of your company’s interconnected applications, systems, servers and other devices is crucial to ensure successful recovery in the event of a disruption. ContinuitySA can assist your organisation by performing the physical disaster recovery tests and developing world class technical recovery documentation for you.
Testing forms the basis of your IT continuity plan. Specific test objectives and the scope of the project are agreed for each test. Feedback is provided in a recovery report as well as a post-test briefing. Depending on the maturity of testing in your organisation, a phased approach will be used, with tests becoming more complex over time.
By making use of this service, your company will experience the following benefits:
- Reduced pressure on IT staff to spend time away from the production environment.
- More frequent and regular testing may take place, as it does not impact on the production environment.
- Comprehensive recovery documentation will be produced. This provides protection and continuity in the event of staff loss, and removes the problem of technical staff producing documentation that is not user friendly.
- Best industry practices will be used, minimising recovery time.
- ContinuitySA will audit the recovery process each time a test is performed and an objective report will be produced.
- In the event of a catastrophe ContinuitySA staff will assist with recovery – client staff may not be available.
- Staff turnover will have little impact on recovery testing.
- A structured and phased approach to testing will be used, minimising the impact on production activities.
- All relevant recovery procedures will be used, tested and updated during each test.
The outsourced recovery service from ContinuitySA enables your company to test more often and ensure all critical systems of your business are recoverable. ContinuitySA’s extensive knowledge base is effectively transferred to your organisation for use in the event of a disaster.
