Both large and small corporations require a cost effective Disaster Recovery (DR) solution. The Hosted Continuity solution is scalable and flexible and caters for single server, less complex organisations to larger corporations who often have complex systems architectures, geographic diversity with infrastructure and unique environments.
The benefits of the HC solution are:
Almost zero data loss and immediate recovery* - your files will be continually backed up at the current level of information available
Real-time replication of data which enables the recovery point in seconds not hours or days which minimises employee downtime and increases productivity. 24/7 staff support.
Reduced risk with diverse geographic redundancy- full server environment is replicated to four separate regional locations (VIC, NSW, QLD, WA)
An integrated, flexible and scalable solution suited to your unique business needs (back-up of the entire environment, not only the applications)
Lower capital expenditure on BCP/DR as:
DR costs become a low operating expense
IT software, hardware and head count is reduced
Next to NO downtime lowers recovery costs
A fully operational environment ready for your team after a disaster
Compliance is managed - including for APRA, Sarbanes-Oxley, SAS70, HIPPA, ISO/ASO or one of the many others
Reduced load on your IT systems with continual back up and minimal bandwidth requirements
Your company has a proactive monitoring tool which flags any critical issues related to DR and your IT systems. This helps monitor the effectiveness of your IT systems and resources.
*Almost no data lost as the replication occurs at byte-level in minute increments. The data recovery time depends upon the solution chosen.
What our services will do for you.

A Hosted Continuity Managed Disaster Recovery (DR) Service allows your business to improve cash flow with no capital expenditure. Move your DR cost to an operating expense. By saving on the initial outlay of cash, your business can better spend its IT budget. No purchase of hardware, software or data centre space.
Service Guarantee
The Hosted Continuity Solution is guaranteed with a contractual service level agreement (SLA) with 24 x 7 support staff to assist you throughout any disaster.
Manage technology risks
Our solution is not dependant on up to date detailed documentation or reliant on the knowledge of key technical staff. Having a disaster recovery strategy that gets regularly tested will greatly lower your risk profile and potentially also reduce insurance premiums.

Companies struggle to ensure their security and enterprise risk management programs and their associated costs address their ever changing compliance requirements. When implementing a Hosted Continuity Managed Solution you will be able to sleep easy knowing that all your compliance programs are being managed 24/7.

Far from a ‘one size fits all’ service offering, Hosted Continuity deliver the ‘best fit’ disaster recovery solution for each of our clients. Every business has unique needs, a unique architecture of systems and specific requirements in regards to recovery of systems and recovery timeframes. With access to all leading–edge vendor software, delivery of the best solution for your business is always guaranteed.
Reduce staffing
With a Hosted Continuity managed solution in place you will have no need to employ extra staff to manage a network to ensure your company is meeting the required levels of compliance.
Cost v Risk
Balancing Cost and Risk is at the core of every business. Gartner estimates just 35% of SMBs have a comprehensive disaster recovery plan with most under-investing in business continuity and disaster recovery. 80% of downtime is caused by people or process failures, not disasters or technology failure. And two out of five businesses that experience this downtime go out of business within five years.
Cloud computing, as defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is a model for enabling "… convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction." NIST is implying the economies of scale that go with cloud computing when it refers to a pool of configurable computing resources.
