Disaster Recovery Overview
Disaster recovery is the proactive strategy and reactive process of restoring critical data, communications and technology as quick as possible after an incident, which affects generally a percentage of our business systems, workflows and productivity. A disaster could have any degree of impact on your business and be caused by factors such technical failure, denial of service attack, human errors, natural disasters, attacks and so on. If your organisation relies on the Internet as critical infrastructure for business, it is crucial to implement a backup strategy to limit loss and aid recovery.
Proactive and Reactive Disaster solutions
Xrio UBM can help your business to overcome disasters to restart your business, and be implemented as part of a disaster recovery strategy for disaster scenarios including:
- Internet connection - A loss of Internet connection is sometimes beyond your organisation or IT department’s control. UBM can be deployed as a proactive measure to protect your Internet from downtime and can also be shipped quickly to your organisation if you are impacted by a disaster, providing minimal configuration and transparent installation.
- Data Backups - Data backups can fail to complete if your Internet connection is lost during the actual process. Ensuring data backups is essential for security and business continuity. Installing Xrio UBM allows you to aggregate 2 or more Internet connections, which can be utilised to backup each other. If a single connection fails, UBM will continue to send data through other available connections.
- VPN connection - A loss of VPN can impact communication between your organisation sites. With your VPN operating over an Internet connection, it is at risk if the Internet connection fails. Xrio UBM fits transparently and securely into your VPN to provide you with the resilience required to protect you from any VPN downtime.
Xrio UBM solutions can be either implemented as part of your Disaster Recovery Plan or installed into your network if your business has been affected by a disaster event. Xrio UBM saves your business money from investing in individual technologies by providing you with an all-in-one, cost effective disaster recovery solution.
