Backup and Recovery
Client data continuity is paramount in enterprise hosted services, regardless of whether the data is maintained in a database or on stored directly on disk in the file system. kwiboo's data recovery strategy ensures that timely backups are taken and secured in offsite locations to protect against the unexpected and to minimise data loss.
Client data requirements vary and kwiboo is able to implement a backup strategy to suit any requirement, from Microsoft SQL Server database replication to database mirroring and failover.
Disaster Recovery
Recent history has proven that natural disasters are not the only thing that businesses are required to protect their digital assets from, with the events of September 11th 2001 demonstrating the scale of data loss from centralised operations in a single location, underlining the requirement to have a disaster recovery plan.
The management of business critical data in two separate locations is the business continutiy answer to disaster situations, and this has been vastly simplified by modern SAN replication and database mirroring technology.
