It’s business continuity and more.
It's not just about protecting data. It’s the ultimate competitive issue. In today’s tech-driven business world, the availability of key services, applications, and information is not an option or a luxury. It’s an absolute requirement. Risks to that availability run the range from operator errors, component failures, and power outages, to large-scale disasters. And the cost of disruption has increased tremendously—in lost revenue, negative publicity and customer satisfaction — not to mention the financial exposure created by failing to meet strict new corporate governance and regulatory mandates.
According to a recent report from Contingency & Planning Management, the business impact of IT downtime now averages $1 million per hour, with costs soaring from $1.5 million per hour to $3 million per hour in key financial, manufacturing and energy sectors. Factor in, as well, stricter regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and Basel II. When weighed together, it becomes clear that the need for powerful, adaptive business continuity and availability planning is real — and the alternative quite painful.
By combining infrastructure technology, technical expertise, and sound operational processes, W&G can help to ensure continuous access to your organization’s mission critical information. From the zero-downtime required by mission critical applications to the traditional disaster recovery requirements of 24 – 48 hours, W&G will design the appropriate solution to meet your needs.
