Hosted Disaster Recovery

Power outages, floods, fires or accidentally driving into a telephone pole can disrupt your daily operations. The implications are serious – research firm Gartner estimates that two out of five businesses that experience a disaster will go out of business within five years.

Disaster recovery planning can help you beat the odds. To do this properly, disaster recovery plans must be comprehensive and continually revisited to ensure they meet changing business requirements. This takes a significant investment, which is why many businesses – especially small ones – often end up with inadequate disaster recovery policies and technologies.

Get up and running quickly

Dimension Data Hosted Disaster Recovery Service helps companies of any size get up and running almost immediately after a disaster. In the event of an interruption, your data and applications will be ready to access from one of our purpose-built facilities, designed to withstand any kind of disaster.

Send your employees home, rent a managed office, gather staff in your living room or raid the local Internet café – as long as you can get online, you’ll have access to the same data and applications you used in your office.

Everything you need to keep your business running

We host your data, applications and even desktops from highly secure, fully redundant facilities in Sydney’s central business district. Supported by experienced staff 24 hours a day, the facilities are protected against interruption with fully redundant power, communications links, servers, storage and data mirroring. Even if your office loses contact, we will be ready and waiting to ensure the continuity of your business.

You also have the ability to failover, test and failback your systems, giving you peace of mind that your systems and data are safe in the event of failure.
