Disaster recovery and colocation services are two crucial components of an organization’s IT infrastructure strategy that help ensure business continuity. Data availability and operational resilience in the face of unexpected events is especially in hurricane prune coastal areas. Many tend to align disaster recovery with natural events, when in reality there are many non-physical threats, including (not limited to):
- Human Error
- Cyber-Attacks
- Data Breaches
- Ransomware
- Remote Work Threats
- Extended Power Outages
When you combine colocation and disaster recovery services, organizations preserve data availability, minimize downtime, protect against data loss and maintain resilience. Organizations that embrace the power of colocation disaster recovery are able to position themselves to their customers as having the ability to quickly recover from disruptions or having none.
