DISASTER RECOVERY
Ensure that your business operations can quickly recover after even the most extreme disasters with GCS' Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity solutions. Our solutions are designed to meet your recovery time objectives.
Following a disaster, business survival is almost entirely dependent on the speed of recovery. GCS' Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity solutions allow for rapid recovery and seamless failover of critical systems.
Our turn-key solutions include:
- Data Replication:
GCS configures application-layer replication for Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, Office Sharepoint Server and many other applications. In addition replication of virtual machines between Storage Area Networks provides a critical layer of protection for other applications.
- Off-site Facilities:
Our DR solutions utilize an offsite location to mitigate the risk of fire, theft and other disasters that affect the main business location. Our relationships with collocation providers throughout Texas offers a wide array of options. Frequently the best choice for our clients is a remote site within their existing footprint.
- Modular Failover:
Each GCS recovery solution is configured to allow recovery of any individual component (email, phones, files, etc) as well as a complete site failover. This provides a much higher value solution that dramatically increases the reliability of the existing network. It eliminates many failures from affecting end users.
- High Availability:
Advanced solutions increase system reliability through clustering and load balancing. This allows an automated and instant transition to spare or under-utilized systems in the event of an outage.
- Remote Access and Workspace:
Each solution from GCS includes a plan for remote access to "hot site" systems. This is usually accomplished through Microsoft Terminal Server and allows employees to work from home or temporary workspaces quickly and easily.
GCS will design a Disaster Recovery solution unique to your needs. Our on-site assessment determines and documents the best recovery method for each application and data repository. Our DR solutions are customized to fit your recovery timeframe and budgetary constraints.
