Ready for anything with business continuity.
Is your business equipped to deal with a crisis? Since threats aren’t normally announced in advance, it can be a great challenge to stay up and running in the event of a crisis. But what steps do businesses have to take and which processes have to be put into practice when operations are at risk from threats and disasters? How should companies position themselves to minimise the impact of interruptions to business? The answer is business continuity (BC).
Natural disasters, cyber attacks, human error – Crises can be many and varied.
There are many reasons why organisations should consider a business continuity strategy from the get-go. Even if scenarios such as a fire in the data centre seem like something that would never happen, businesses need to be ready for the unexpected as the impact could be extensive if immediate and effective measures cannot be taken quickly.And that doesn’t just mean in the event of a worst case scenario. With a BC solution for example, machines in production facilities can be monitored so that analyses and evaluations can be used to predict when they or a motor will fail meaning you can prevent production delays before they happen.

Minimise costs and complexity with business continuity.
A lack of understanding of the importance of such a BC strategy, cost-cutting in companies and a reluctance to invest are often reasons why business continuity is not given high priority.
Discover the perfect strategy with Bechtle.
The solutions you need depend on your individual requirements, but, as a rule, there are two aspects that are essential.
RPO = Recovery Point Objective (data loss).
What data loss is acceptable for the company in order to be able to guarantee business operations?
RTO = Recovery Time Objective (restore).
What is the maximum time production/machinery/applications can be down before it impacts on my business?
These are by no means mutually exclusive and can be of greater significance for your company depending on your corporate goals and strategy. We are happy to work with you to develop an optimum business continuity strategy.
The benefits of hybrid and multi-cloud strategies.
For many businesses, traditional solutions still work very well with the hardware required deployed multiple times in different data centres so if one set goes down, applications in another data centre can be launched.
But what happens when these contingency plans are no longer enough? These traditional models tend to mean that restoring data will take time resulting in lost orders, income and even customers. These days, being able to react flexibly and quickly to changes is essential for maintaining a competitive edge. With cloud environments, data and applications can be quickly and automatically restored in the event of threats and disasters. What’s more, with hybrid and multi-cloud scenarios, entire production environments can me mapped and the deployed if the worst ever happens.
