Many SMB’s tend to ignore implementing true disaster recovery for their mission critical servers and services hosted on-premise. This is also true for some companies who are utilizing cloud infrastructure, but forget to configure the right measures that ensure continuity when a human error causes a disruption in service.
Many of these errors are caused by the myth that having offline backups on external sources is enough when disaster strikes. The moments in time it required to successfully recover and the need for temporary hardware to recover to is often overlooked. This leads to more downtime during the disaster, resulting in lost revenue, unhappy customers, and your competition potentially getting an edge.
Korcomptenz is an IT Managed Services Provider that can help you take another look at your current infrastructure, critical applications, and current backup policies to recommend a disaster recovery plan that meets your business needs and your budget. Korcomptenz is a Microsoft Cloud Service Partner that leverages Azure services to make it happen in the cloud.
In this scenario, a customer has its critical web application hosted on on-premises infrastructure. The criticality of the application is configured at one hour, meaning that one hour of data may be sacrificed during disaster recovery. If you have Korcomptenz handling your infrastructure, we can implement a robust plan to backup the on-premises servers to Azure cloud storage. If and when a disaster does happen, the servers can be loaded onto the Azure cloud and the Web Application can start functioning in few minutes. Your employees can start working again in an extremely short time frame without sacrificing productivity.
