Disaster Recovery Services
Every business should have a business continuity plan in place. Not an idea, but a well articulated and detailed course of action to ensure that their business can get through a disaster and continue on in the aftermath. This plan includes crisis management, business procedures/processes and work area management to name a few considerations.Another important, yet often overlooked part of your business continuity plan is IT disaster recovery (DR). In broad terms, this is how you deal with and prevent IT downtime. Even if every other part of your business continuity plan is executed perfectly, you remain at a standstill if your IT systems go down and stay down. And the situation will only get worse as your revenue and reputation take a beating.

Remember, Disaster Recovery Isn't The Same As Disaster Prevention
There's a huge difference between disaster prevention and disaster recovery. Both are necessary. But the former only mitigates the risk of downtime. The latter makes sure if downtime happens you can actually get your IT back online quickly.
Rackspace DR Solutions Put Affordable & Reliable DR within Your Reach
Unless you're one of the few businesses in the world that has the money, data centers, hardware, networks, and expertise, in-house DR is difficult—if not impossible. When you do DR yourself, there are just too many technical complexities and too many compromises struck between minimizing downtime and controlling costs for DR to be reliable. Fortunately for businesses, Rackspace makes designing, deploying and managing a DR plan less painful—and more affordable.Our Disaster Recovery Portfolio

The Numbers Tell The DR Story
Many companies learn the hard way, how important Disaster Recovery is to IT and their businesses over all. Betting on never experiencing a service outage or a natural disaster is not a viable or practical choice. The stats tell the story.

Mission-critical: Systems or applications that are essential to the functioning of your business and its processes.
Redundancy: Systematically using multiple sources, devices or connections to eliminate single points of failure that could completely stop the flow of information.
High Availability (HA): A system or component that is continuously operational for a desirably long length of time.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO): The age of files that must be recovered for normal operations to resume if a system goes down as a result of a failure.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO): The maximum tolerable length of time that a computer, system, network or application can be down after a failure or disaster occurs.
Hotsite: A DR facility fully equipped with the equipment, network connections and environmental conditions necessary for restoring your data and getting your systems up and running instantly. (unlike coldsites and warmsites, which are not ready to go in an instant)
