Disaster Recovery (DR) is now a business essential. In the event of a catastrophic event or natural disaster, companies large and small need their services and data protected, accessible, and uninterrupted.

DSS will ensure that the DR solution is appropriately sized so that it's capable of meeting recovery objectives without consuming budget that could be better utilized in production.
For DSS implementing an effective DR strategy is not just about the technical solution. It's also about having a DR plan that's documented, understood and reguarly rehearsed so that in a real life disaster rapid recovery is ensured.
DSS has worked with large organizations including Mainstream Renewable Power, Topaz and The Convention Centre Dublin in implementing DR.
DSS can help you build a comprehensive disaster recovery plan and implement a disaster recovery solution flexible enough to grow with your business.
Our disaster recovery solutions support a wide spectrum of operating systems, applications, databases, and hardware platforms and devices to fully protect your heterogeneous IT environments.
Implications of poor Business Continuity/Disaster recovery Planning:
- 90% of businesses that loose data from a disaster are forced to shut within 2 years of the disaster
- 50% of companies experiencing a computer outage will be forced to shut within 5 years
- 80% of businesses without a well structured recovery plan are forced to shut within 12 months of a flood or fire
- A company experiencing a computer outage lasting longer than 10 days will never fully recover
The effects of an outage include:
- Lost revenue and business interruption
- Possible Litigation
- Lost competitiveness and lost business
- Loss of company reputation
Sound business continuity and data recovery plans ensure that a company's most important information remains accessible, accurate and secure, even when the unexpected occurs.
