Reaping the rewards of disaster recovery and businesscontinuity

Strengthening & securing your networks

Today's organisations have become more and more dependent on their IT systems and have come to take them for granted.

That's why the impact of the unexpected, whether a natural disaster or malicious damage like hacking, can be particularly devastating. In a networked world, damage to IT systems represents one of the most serious forms of business risk.

We can ensure that the odds against catastrophes happening are stacked in your favour by mirroring data centres, running redundant networks to provide alternative transmission paths and ensuring all software is regularly updated. Mixing fixed and wireless networks adds to your protection and ability to recover fast. Managed Firewall and IPSec VPN functionality of the kind offered by our Managed Security Service suite can help protect you from hacking and viruses.

Whether you do it yourself or outsource to a specialist, data must be routinely, automatically and remotely backed-up and, according to best practice, held in secure off-site data centres. Depending on the volume of traffic and the speed at which you need to complete the back-up, you can opt for our Ethernet links between offices and data centres. Using our Ethernet to connect sites not only increases speed and capacity but also security.
