IT Maintenance
Prevention is better than the cureCreating
reliability through proactive maintenance is generally regarded as the
most efficient means to reduce downtime and maintain system
performance. Ensuring that the backups have run and patches, virus
definitions or service packs are all up to date will minimise the risks
associated with being connected to the Internet.
With adequate firewalls, correct protection software and regular
maintenance, system disruption and downtime is almost non-existent.
Vigilant Solutions can design a suitable systems maintenance package
for your company ensuring that you run your business without
interruption.
Disaster RecoveryDisaster Recovery is
the process that takes place after a company crisis, to minimise
interruption to staff and services.Companies prepared with recovery
plans and 'fail-over' services (such as servers set up with redundancy)
can recover with minimal disruption from events such as power failure,
fires or flooding.
Companies without adequate disaster recovery
procedures in place are generally unable to gauge the potential loss of
data and often suffer unrecoverable losses.
Ask a Vigilant
consultant on how you can minimise your risk during a crisis through
methods of best prevention, recovery and backup.
Business Continuity & Recovery PlanningIt
is now generally recognised that business continuity planning and
disaster recovery are vital activities within business strategy.
However, the creation of (and maintenance of) a sound business
continuity and disaster recovery plan is a complex undertaking,
involving a series of steps.
Prior to creation of the plan
itself, it is essential to consider the potential impacts and to
understand the underlying risks: these are the foundations upon which a
sound business continuity plan or disaster recovery plan should be
built. Following these activities the plan itself must be designed
and implimented - no small task. This must then be maintained
periodically, tested, audited and updated to ensure that it remains
appropriate for the needs of the organisation. One question to ask
is: what about the support infrastructure and services?
Vigilant
Solutions has the capability of addressing these issues. We can provide
you with a service failure risk analysis, security risk analysis, cost
of increased uptime and a total disaster recovery plan. Vigilant
Solutions can also provide you with online tools/services to help you
create, maintain and audit the plan itself. Whether you are entirely
new to business continuity and disaster recovery planning, or whether
you already have a proven and established plan, the team at Vigilant
Solutions can provide a solution for all your disaster recovery needs.
