Disaster recovery

With the increasing importance of IT organisations are increasingly exposed to the risk of IT systems failure. Disaster recovery and back up plans that ensure continued connection to the internet are vital to ensure business continuity and the ability to manage risk.

The use of off site services as part of a disaster recovery and remote data back up are becoming increasingly important as businesses outsource  to avoid the costs associated with redundant systems, duplicate hardware and staff costs.

The use of outsourced remote back up and storage is dependant on a robust communication network. If the communication links fail when they are needed the whole disaster recovery plan can fail.

If data is backed up through connections that are shared with other applications such as web access, e-mail traffic, file downloads and content streaming the speed of transfer can be restricted and the performance of back up systems can be less easy to control.

The Nottingham Wireless Network provides alternative connections which bypass the BT local Loop and can connect businesses and buildings in the City area with local data centres or other providers to avoid points of failure. If the network is used as a dedicated data back up service, back up and restore times are more resilient, predictable and resilient.

A wireless network connection can be used to provide a high power auxiliary internet connection which can be used as a back up if the primary provider is affected by connection failure.
