Business Continuity Solutions

How would you keep your business going in the event that all links were cut between two sizable and mission critical offices? What happens when a vital server or group of servers crashes? How would you recover if a disaster took out a group of desktops containing essential information and work needed to close the deal of the century?

In theory, all enterprises have contingency plans.   Could yours use a little practice?

Could you get back up fast enough? What will the company have lost - in dollars and cents?

The acceptable recovery time period in the computing and communications world is getting shorter.   Today if your recovery time goes much beyond 24 hours, you may find yourself facing serious pressure.  

Fortunately, with Interactive Technologies Continuity Solutions, you CAN beat the storm.  

One of the factors that has proven an impediment to rapid recovery and survivability in the past has been the very architecture of traditional client-server and legacy computing environments.   When applications reside in PCs distributed to the desktop, data back up is generally performed by servers deployed to each site.   Backup file servers can and have been centralized, but at the expense of installing and maintaining high speed WAN links.  

Conducting backups at each site is a slow and expensive process.  

Interactive Technologies develops and implements solutions built around terminal server and Thin-Client technologies that eliminate these costs, as all data is stored, managed and maintained centrally.  

Server outages, system alarms, application crashes and bugs are also addressed at the central location.   Redundancy and fault tolerance scenarios are streamlined, and easier to monitor and maintain from a location where all critical equipment and software is collocated with the technical staff.   Disaster recovery hardware replacements are near by and do not need to be transported to remote locations.   Greater diagnostics are available.   The technical team has immediate access to hardware and software, patch panels and cable plants.  

Thin-client desktops have far fewer elements subject to failure and virus attack.   Repairs are far less prevalent and devices have a much longer effective life.   Help desk technicians can solve problems in real time by temporarily taking control of (shadowing) the desktop, and experience exactly what the user has been encountering.  

Interactive Technologies analyzes your unique environment and develops Continuity Solutions specifically to meet your needs.   Applying the vanguard in technologies and methodologies, we save you money and achieve your performance objectives.   Not only will you have the right answers, you'll have peace of mind in knowing that your plan works.
