Business Continuity

Business continuity responds to the following questions: How critical is your data? How much downtime can you sustain? What are your recovery time targets and critical applications? What are your service level commitments?

Business continuity is developing a plan that is a comprehensive examination of all that could go wrong. It’s running periodic audits to see if your response time is adequate for your type of business. It’s understanding what your limits are and how fast you can move.

With decades of experience and the greatest concentration of database engineers anywhere, we know what can go wrong and have built best practices around these scenarios.
