Whilst most businesses have recognised the importance of disaster recovery for many
years, more sophisticated disaster recovery techniques have grown in popularity
due to the events of 11 September 2001.
Disaster recovery (DR) involves a series of actions to be taken in the event of
major unplanned outages to minimize their adverse effects. Disasters can result
from events such as hacker attacks, computer viruses, electrical power failures,
large-scale network outages, natural disasters or mistakes in system administration.
Most businesses rely on some form of redundancy to make possible the recovery of
data and systems. Redundancy allows secondary data or system resources to be put
into service on short notice should primary resources fail or otherwise become unavailable.
Vital's Disaster Recovery, Data Replication and Data Storage solutions ensure that
your company's critical business processes are fully redundant and can be maintained
in the event of a disaster.
- SAN (Storage Area Network) Solutions
Vital's SAN solutions offer our customers the ability
to store, retrieve and manage their valuable data so they can remain confident that
their assets are secure and can be quickly and reliably retrieved when needed. In
addition to the conventional storage requirements, there is an ever growing need
for data backup to safeguard against disasters, natural or otherwise. Storage demands
for disaster recovery applications have increased dramatically over the past year
and Vital is able to offer flexible, tailored SAN solutions to meet your specific
requirements.

Metro Ethernet network and Vital's SAN solution, we provide real-time access to
archived information which is securely stored in our purpose-built data centres.

The requirement for monitoring unwanted email has never

gateway, and anti-spam options, to safeguard your mail server and network.
