Disaster Recovery
Preparedness for any other number of disasters is valuable to your business. In some circles, this concept is called "disaster recovery" and in others "business continuity." From power outages and flooding, to other unknown or unspeakable challenges, data center services from VISI can prepare and protect your critical business data and applications from the worst – keeping your business up and running.
In evaluating data center infrastructure, business requirements must be taken into consideration. What is the business requirement for disaster recovery? Is a 24x7x365 production environment required? The Uptime Institute provides guidelines for representative availability based on data center tier infrastructure.
