Disaster Recovery facilities for your IT systems is now a must but costs constraints are forcing you into a compromised solution.

MDS SSV provides an replicated copy of your business critical data to a secure facility with little or no upfront capital cost , just a monthly charge based on usage.

With capital expenditure restraints removed, you can use MDS SSV to obtain enterprise class Disaster Recovery and plan budgets based on a regular payment for the service.

Regulatory and commercial pressures are forcing your organisation to demand much faster recovery times from IT in the event of a disaster and shipping tapes of the last backup offsite is no longer good enough.

MDS SSV is a disk based copy of your data that can be up to a few minutes out of sync with the primary copy, allowing your business to much faster to a recent point in time rather than spending hours or days trying to recover data that is at least a day old from tape.

You can deliver significantly better SLAs to your organisation for Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).

Budget restrictions mean that  your organisation barely has enough IT staff to manage the primary data let alone a Disaster Recovery facility.

MDS SSV is a fully managed offering.  The MDS Service Desk manages the vault facility and also provides monitoring and support for the replication process.

No additional strain is put on your IT staff, allowing them to focus on delivering the primary services safe in the knowledge that the Disaster Recovery facility is being looked after and tested.

Current tape based Disaster Recovery means your organisation is exposed to losing up to 24 hours of data.

MDS SSV can take regular snapshots of critical data during the working day and replicate these to the vault.

The risk of data loss is significantly minimised.

Disaster Recovery is too complex and time consuming to plan and implement with the limited resources your organisation has available.

As part of the pre-sales process, MDS will help  your organisation understand the requirements and plan the solution to deliver the required SLAs.

The cost and risk normally associated with planning and implementing DR solutions is virtually eliminated.

The cost of bandwidth is a prohibitive factor in delivering a Disaster Recovery solution.

The cost of the bandwidth required for the Disaster Recovery solution is included in the MDS utility charge.  MDS utilises advanced storage replication and compression technologies to ensure the required bandwidth is minimised.

The traditional technology and commercial restraints around bandwidth are virtually removed allowing organisations of all sizes to benefit from enterprise class Disaster Recovery.
