Alpha works closely with clients to ensure, a robust and  time critical recovery is in place should an IT disaster occur.

​

Disaster Recovery and adequate recovery plans, have become more necessary than ever as the instances of Cyber crime and in particular Ransom ware are on the increase.

 

We ensure that   

​

• backups made to tape and sent off-site at regular intervals

• backups made to disk on-site and automatically copied to off-site disk, or made directly to off-site disk

• replication of data to an off-site location, which overcomes the need to restore the data (only the systems then need to be restored or synchronised), often making use of storage area network (SAN) technology

• Private Cloud solutions which replicate the management data (VMs, Templates and disks) into the storage domains which are part of the private cloud setup. These management data are configured as an xml representation called OVF (Open Virtualization Format), and can be restored once a disaster occurs.

• Hybrid Cloud solutions that replicate both on-site and to off-site data centers. These solutions provide the ability to instantly fail-over to local on-site hardware, but in the event of a physical disaster, servers can be brought up in the cloud data centers as well.

• the use of high availability systems which keep both the data and system replicated off-site, enabling continuous access to systems and data, even after a disaster (often associated with cloud storage)

Leave  it to us to ensure your data is safe.
