The benefits of Disaster Recovery are undeniable. Infrastructure and network outages are a fact of life. Disaster Recovery provides a powerful solution: replicate infrastructure in an offsite data center that will take over in the event of an outage. Service disruption is minimal — customers keep buying and employees keep working.
Every business that relies on IT infrastructure sees the potential benefit, but the elephant in the room is cost. Budgeting infrastructure redundancy may not be top priority for small and medium businesses with tight IT budgets. Why buy a server that will be idle until disaster strikes when you could use it to support business operations every day of the year?
That may have been a fair assessment a few years ago but is no longer the case. Today, powerful disaster recovery solutions are within the reach of every business. Modern virtualization and cloud storage have slashed the cost of infrastructure replication and full data backups. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) platforms reduce the technical barrier to entry.
Disaster Recovery is no longer the preserve of large enterprise organizations. Small and medium businesses can — and should — take full advantage of DRaaS to minimize disruption and revenue loss caused by infrastructure downtime.
Steadfast Disaster Recovery And Business Continuity is a complete DR solution backed by industry-leading cloud DR software from Veeam and Steadfast’s team of cloud infrastructure experts.
For a comprehensive Disaster Recovery strategy, a business would once have had to buy or lease servers capable of taking over from their primary infrastructure. Those servers would have to be powered, cooled, maintained, and housed in a data center. In addition to failover hardware, redundant load balancers were needed to detect failures and reroute network activity.
Steadfast’s Disaster Recovery Service uses cloud technology to radically reduce the cost. Data is backed-up in near real-time to offsite locations. SAS, NAS, and database replication ensures that data is always available. Load balancers monitor infrastructure availability, and when an outage is detected, virtual machines capable of taking over are launched in minutes.
Cloud storage reduces storage costs, and because virtual machines don’t consume server resources if they aren’t running, hardware costs are massively reduced compared to redundant physical servers. There is no capital expenditure for purchasing servers and other redundant hardware. Disaster Recovery from Steadfast is less expensive and just as effective as comparable enterprise solutions.
The Steadfast team has been building custom infrastructure solutions for over a decade. Steadfast Disaster Recovery clients don’t have to hire DR experts to build and manage redundant infrastructure and failover systems. We will help you plan and test the optimal system for your business.
