Backups

Why is it important? Businesses face the daily threat of data loss, accidental deletion, corruption, systems failures, internal and external threats, viruses and many more.

How would you deal with a disaster? Having a sound and tested backup strategy could save your business.

A sound backup strategy which is regularly tested is critical. Without it you risk data loss that could put the financial security of your business at risk and lead to days, weeks or even months of unwelcome upheaval.

Maybe your systems need to be highly available in the event of a disaster. How would you fail over and are these systems regularly tested?

Ridgeway IT have a range of on-premise and offsite cloud backup solutions for systems and data.

Using our solution design service we take the time to understand what systems and data you have, help you classify it by risk, importance and value. We consider your recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO) and then design appropriate solutions that align to your business continuity plans. We can support on-premise systems, infrastructure, end-points, cloud, Office 365 and much more. 

Disaster recovery

Disasters can take many different forms. It’s important in planning to identify how you would recover from a loss of data and/or systems. Disasters can effect businesses of all sizes. That is why we have put together a range of solutions tailored for busieness of any size.

We can deliver a business continuity and disaster recover solutions. If you have already made the infrastructure investment, have capacity and have good links to a DR site, an on-premise can be a good option. We’ll help you validate the viability with a free consultation.
