Disaster Recovery
Protect ━ Monitor ━ Confirm
The term “backups” gets a bit more complicated in the era of cloud services. Not only do you need to protect local servers and data but also those now running in the cloud. The disaster recovery plan needs to encompass e-mail within Microsoft 365, files within SharePoint & Teams, virtual servers running in Microsoft Azure and potentially local physical servers and laptops in the field or home offices. We offer an industry leading, comprehensive solution to securing and “backing up” the valuable assets in your organization.
- Multiple offsite copies of systems and data (in Canada)
- Secure onsite copies for quick restore when required
- Full cloud disaster recovery environment included
- Backup & recovery of Microsoft 365 e-mail and files
Incident Response
Assess ━ Remediate ━ Restore
Every step will be taken to avoid a disaster, but if one does happen to strike, the better prepared you are can make all the difference in survival or ultimate defeat. We prepare the documentation, training materials, education sessions and testing of the disaster recovery plan. In the event of a real disaster our team acts as strategy and communication lead in the delivery of the recovery plan procedures. We are there working alongside you to assess, remediate and respond to any potential threats to the organization.
