Do you want to hear a great business continuity story?
In 2013, the Business Continuity Plan of Cantey Technology, an IT firm from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina was put to the test. A fire broke out when lightning damaged an office building that hosts servers for more than 200 clients.
The fire destroyed Cantey's network infrastructure, which melted cables and burned computer systems. The office was unusable and the equipment was destroyed beyond repair. The situation seems dismal for a corporation whose key function is hosting servers for other companies.
But you know what? After the initial disruption, clients never truly felt any significant aftermath. Even though Cantey's personnel was obliged to relocate to a temporary location, its clients were never inconvenienced.
Do you know why? That’s because Cantey had already migrated its client servers to a faraway data center as part of its business continuity plan, where continuous backups were stored.
Remote Data centers are powerhouses as business continuity tools. The demand for data and electricity is growing as technology advancements continue to affect how businesses operate.
Remote Data centers serve businesses in a variety of ways. In general, they enable a firm to concentrate on its customer aims rather than technological upkeep.
Here are the other benefits of remote data centers:
● Cost Efficiency
Management and repair are costly in on-site physical storage. Remote data centers have comprehensive data backup that lessens repair or replacement costs.
● Reliability
The managed service provider often manages backup servers off-site, lowering the breadth of responsibilities for the IT team. This scenario frees up time for overworked IT personnel to focus on other mission-critical or operational activities.
● Security
Security should always be a top consideration when it comes to data storage, and remote backup services are no exception. After all, these servers will be storing complete copies of your critical data assets.
● Scalability
On-site physical servers are often limited to one server per piece of hardware, but remote data centers give enterprises huge scalability benefits. Virtual servers help to increase corporate efficiency by minimizing hardware needs.
