Disaster Recovery
Avoid Chaos With a Disaster Recovery Plan for Your Business
Preparation is Everything
Disasters come in many forms, none of them good for your business. Smart businesses plan for the worst to minimize interruptions.
Lightning strikes. Equipment fails. Employees go rogue. Malware and ransomware find their ways into your network unwittingly. If you don’t already have a plan in place when these problems crop up, the results can turn disaster into tragedy, knocking your business offline for good.
A good disaster recovery plan provides your business with a comprehensive strategy that gets you back to full operation fast when the inevitable disaster strikes.
Continuity is Key
According to Aberdeen Essentials,
downtime costs SMBs up to $8,600 per hour.
Every second you’re down runs the risk of alienating customers and squandering resources.
With the right set of solutions and proper strategic plan execution, you can preserve productivity while reducing vulnerability.
Minimizing downtime means minimizing losses and maximizing good outcomes. Seeking out professional guidance ensures you get the best plan of action for every potential scenario.

How it Works
We start by identifying and documenting the specific hardware and software involved in your business operations.
Once these are identified, we work with you to prioritize which are the most critical to restore first.
Part of this step is establishing a recovery point objective (the amount of backup data needed to resume operations) and a recovery time objective (the length of time you can go without service after a disaster strikes).
Next we’ll help determine the who, what, when and where of responsibilities in your recovery process. What are the goals for each set of activities? Who will handle what tasks? How will they achieve these? How long will it take to complete them? If your office or equipment is totalled, where will you set up shop while it’s repaired?
If you’re shaking your head right now and marvelling at the complexity and moving parts associated with disaster recovery … don’t. Call us instead, because we’ve got the tools and experience you need to do it right.
Developing a disaster recovery plan with RWA provides you peace of mind that even the worst disasters are only a speed bump to your business operations.
