Disaster Recovery Solutions and
Business Continuity Planning
FiberCloud is well-equipped and staffed to work
with you to design and provision a customized strategy for
mission-critical business continuity, business recovery, and data
preservation, using techniques such as the following:
Our data center sites are designed with
survivability in mind. With our multiple locations, you can choose a
facility that is:
- Built to Seismic Zone 3 standards
- Located away from Seattle and Vancouver fault zones
- Independent of major metropolitan target areas for
man-made disasters
- Equipped with redundant fiber access points into the
facility
- Connected into a multi-homed redundant network with
cross-configured routers and switches connecting to multiple Tier 1
US and Canadian carriers.
Business Continuity
A business continuity strategy outlines plans and procedures to
avoid interruption of critical business operations, including production,
sales and marketing, finance and administration, and other essential
corporate functions. Business continuity proactively reduces risk.
Because little or no downtime is allowed, systems must be fully
redundant and fail-over automatically, and no single points of
failure are permitted. Data must be available at all times.
Business Recovery
A business recovery strategy outlines plans and procedures to
minimize the effects of downtime, and to restore systems to a
productive state as quickly as possible. Business recovery manages
risk after a disaster has occurred, and is focused on restoration of
services affected by downtime. Business recovery is reactive to
downtime, utilizing best efforts to bring systems back online. Some
amount of downtime is acceptable.
Data Preservation
Data preservation is focused on the archival storage of data and
information. Data preservation does not focus on mitigating the
effects of risk, and access to archived data does not have any
specific urgency.
Business continuity, business recovery, and data
preservation each have a place in your overall strategy.
