Hot sites for disaster recovery and business continuity

Stock Exchanges and other Financial Institutions have hot sites based disaster recovery system in case of primary system failure at one location, with very little interruption.

A hot site is a duplicate of the original site of the business, with full computer systems as well as near-complete backups of user data. Following a disaster, the hot site enables business to relocate with minimal losses to normal operations. Ideally, a hot site will be up and running within a matter of hours.

IBackup now offers solutions to implement hot sites based disaster recovery even for small to medium sized businesses. You can setup an office to another branch office or even to your home hot sites solution.

IBackup for Windows based solution mirrors data between two sites, for any quantum of data, executed at frequency levels set by you.

Hot sites - Disaster recovery



IBackup's flagship product IBackup for Windows, offers hot site disaster recovery solutions.

Listed below are the steps to accomplish the same:

Step 1
Schedule regular transfers (Backup) from the primary center to your IBackup account. The data is transferred with all possible optimizations including encrypted and compressed delta transfers and incremental transfers - i.e. only modified portions of the file(s) are backed up.

Step 2
Schedule regular transfers (Restore) from IBackup account to your hot site. The data is transferred with all possible optimizations as described in Step 1.

You can setup your backup and restore schedules to optimize the time windows to keep data mirrored between primary and hot sites, with minimal delay.

This solution is reliable, scalable to multiple terabytes of data and efficient.

You will have primary and secondary locations with full copy of data, and in addition, a copy available on the web accessible from anywhere.
 


Note: Most hot site disaster recovery center solutions require both or at least the primary and hot site to be on publicly accessible IPs. IBackup has no such restrictions. In addition, IBackup's hot sites solution performs at least 30% or better in data transfer efficiency compared to most other solutions.
