Core Services: Disaster recovery and protection is “Vital”
MORRISTOWN, NJ. July 30, 2009 - Core Services Corporation (”Core Services”) has seen a large increase in the amount of people asking for their Data Recovery solutions in the last month, but the company’s Vice President of Operations Bimal Doshi says that many companies are treating disaster recovery with a reactionary rather than a proactive attitude and that this could cost businesses a lot of time and money.
“”Jumping on the bandwagon of the latest fear–whether it is hurricanes, fires, rolling blackouts or sabotage–is probably not the best approach to creating an ERP Disaster Recovery plan,” Said Doshi.
“Companies should really take a thoughtful, collaborative approach to develop a plan that covers all possible threats. It’s vital to have an iron-clad Business Continuity plan that provides the necessary game plan to recover from a disaster–regardless of cause–within the crucial time period required to resume internal production and service to customers.”
Doshi went on to explain that a prudent IT manager will set up Oracle Disaster Recovery before problems occur, noting that the planning stage and set-up of technology is crucial to the overall success of a data recovery operation after any disaster scenario. He advised: “Planning can be a risk-mitigating exercise in that many harmful incidents can be prepared for and prevented, and Core Services recommends an end-to-end disaster recovery test at least once every 6 months.”
Core Services offer a range of solutions to the Disaster Planning and Recovery market designed towards Oracle systems. Good planning isn’t simply a case of a backup power supply or a secondary server stored off site – it’s about using a range of technology to promote the best possible result if and when your business goes offline.
With nearly 20 years of experience, Core Services use a range of different backup solutions based on a company’s own individual situation and budget. These can include anything from standard backup and standby to more advanced tasks like Remote Mirroring and even Virtual Tape libraries.
Impact of Disasters:
In the Digital World, just about every business has become available to its customer base 24/7 thanks to the internet. Although this provides some great opportunities it can also lead to a huge reliance on technology to get the job done well and on time. The overall cost of system interruptions will vary from company to company, but those who rely on a strong web presence to sell their products and services could risk losing thousands of potential customers.
Here are some of the common effects a company will face when their systems go down:
- Lack of an internet website or E-commerce services jeopardises not only sales but also online reputation.
- E-mail and possible phone communication can go down, leaving customers totally in the dark about the status of your business and their orders.
- The ability to manage your company internally – everything from cash-flow and banking to the payment of salaries and suppliers – will be severely damaged, if not lost entirely.
“When disaster strikes, the domino effect of systems going off-line can quickly lead to total business failure because of this dependence.” Said Jim Bistis, CEO of Core Services.
