Giving your users access to a data and applications hosted in a separate Disaster Recovery site from any location has too many variables and risks to standardise an access method.

MDS Virtual Desktop Recovery is hosted in the same datacentre as the Disaster Recovery platform for data and applications allowing a standard access method from any PC with a web browser.

You can simplify the Disaster Recovery plan for user access and reduce the cost of providing work place recovery facilities.

Traditional recovery from tape at a cold Disaster Recovery site or servers delivered to site no longer meets the required service levels.

Used in conjunction with MDS’s Secure Storage Vault & Virtual Server Recovery services, Virtual Desktop Recovery creates a complete end to end Disaster Recovery platform for data, application and user recovery.

More demanding Disaster Recovery service levels can be met and often exceeded without a significant increase in cost for Disaster Recovery (often costs are reduced).

Testing of Disaster Recovery plans and facilities often never happens due to lack of resources and available service windows.

The Virtual Desktop Recovery platform is managed and tested by MDS on a regular basis. Each customer has up to two Disaster Recovery tests per year as part of the service. These tests are non-disruptive to service at the primary site.

You are assured that Disaster Recovery is tested for compliance and operational processes are clearly defined for Disaster Recovery without impact or risk to your organisation.

Constant change within your organisation.

MDS offers complete flexibility on the configuration of the Disaster Recovery platform without the typical penalties associated.

Your organisation can plan for change without the normal concerns over wasted investments in Disaster Recovery, secure in the knowledge that the service is always available.

Planning for all types of disaster makes building a Disaster Recovery platform costly and challenging.

MDS Virtual Desktop Recovery caters for full site disasters as well as individual disasters such as a lost / stolen laptop or satellite site loss.

You benefit from a flexible Disaster Recovery platform for user access to key data and applications without traditional location restrictions.

IT budget constraints result in lack of resource to manage day to day operations and new projects.

MDS will manage the Disaster Recovery process from start to finish.

Frees up your valuable resource to focus on project work and allows scalability without having to employ more staff.
