Business Continuity

"Business recovery planning prepares you to deal with a disruption when it occurs. An effective and well-tested plan ensures business continuity under any condition."

If your organization is like most, a disruption of a few hours is a significant, but manageable inconvenience. Imagine an interruption, or even a disaster. Today's organizations must recover quickly...not in weeks...but in days or even hours. Otherwise, corporate survival is greatly threatened. In most cases, you cannot prevent a disaster; however, you can control how it affects your business.

Nothing reduces the risks you face by a disaster other than an effective, well-tested plan. A business recovery plan is not insurance, it simply minimizes the downtime resulting from a problem whereas insurance reimburses your organization for certain losses due to a disaster.

Concept can work with you to identify and alleviate potential service disruptions in the following areas:

• Hardware availability (i.e. I/O, Power, RAID storage, etc.)
• Network, data and server availability
• Facility & site availability complete with UPS and "complete facility" backup power diesel generator and available 24x7x365 operations and helpdesk support

Organizations must identify their individual risk, security and capacity issues and balance these requirements to the cost and protection for the required infrastructure. Concept offers three different levels of service depending on the requirements of our clients.

Level One Service

• Identify N+1 necessary redundant hot swap components
• Identify need for UPS power and/or diesel generators
• Identify redundant network links
• Review RAID data protection & disk-to-tape backup and storage

Level Two Service

• Online scheduled tape and/or disk backups
• Online upgrades
• Cold or warm site recovery capability at our facility (tape-based recovery)

Level Three Service

• Data backup or replication to our facility
• Automated site fail-over process
• Full recovery to the specified operational level

A workable contingency plan must:

• Keep your business running in the face of unusual circumstances
• Reduce the dependency on critical resources
• Reduce the number of key issues and decisions during a disaster
