Disaster Recovery

for Stratus V Series and Continuum Systems

Fault tolerant systems process the most critical corporate data. However, most corporate disaster recovery plans overlook fault tolerant applications, leaving critical data vulnerable to site failures or regional disasters. Disaster recovery enables systems to return to service within seconds or minutes after a site-wide or regional disaster.  DRA offers StorGate DR to protect your company's critical data from local or regional disasters.

Whether it’s a man-made or natural disaster, StorGate DR protects your data up to the latest transaction before a disaster strikes. This factor, coupled with StorGate DR’s fast switchover, means minimal service disruption from a disaster.

 Consider these facts:

• 93% of companies that lost the use of their data center for 10 days or more filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster (Source: National Archives & Records Administration, Washington D.C.).

• Of the companies experiencing disasters, 43 percent never reopen, and 29 percent close within two years (Source: McGladrey & Pullen, LLP).

• The average cost of downtime as a function of labor (for large organizations) is $1,010,536 per hour (Source: Meta Group Study).

• A service interruption could cost a company (Bank) between $60,000 and $250,000 a minute (Source: U.S. Banker).

Depending on the industry and other factors, every hour of computer downtime can cost businesses from thousands — to millions — of dollars. Cost factors include:

• Lost Revenue

• Lost Productivity

• Replacing Loss Data

• Loss of Goodwill and Image

• Loss of Clients and Future Revenues
