Business Continuity as a Service
Providing business continuity and disaster recovery solutions for your business-critical applications can be costly and complicated, particularly in meeting challenging Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
ACS has designed and developed a cost effective, robust and fully managed business continuity solution to ensure both maximum server availability and rapid recovery in the event of a disaster.
Delivered using PlateSpin technology, ACS’s business continuity solution offers block-level and file-level replication, one click failover, failback flexibility, event, tasks and actionable alerts. Our disaster recovery platform is hosted in a secure N+1 data centre environment with high speed WAN connectivity between sites secured via firewalls.
Should you also be unfortunate enough to need temporary premises, the ACS Business Recovery Centre in Newport, Shropshire is ready and waiting, providing your staff with access a fully operational IT working environment that can be easily adapted to meet their requirements.
As part of the service, ACS will also undertake two disaster recovery test exercises per year to exhaustively assess failover capability without impact on production systems; following successful testing, replication with the production platform is re-enabled ensuring full protection is maintained.
