A BrightCloud Overview N3 Computer Recovery on Demand Disaster Recovery for IT
2 N3 Computer Recovery on Demand Disaster Recovery for IT A simple and cost effective solution Are you concerned that your application is vulnerable to hardware or environment failure? There is no doubt that most NHS trusts have invested in reliable and secure IT services provision, providing highly available systems with flexibility and reliability. However, there are many applications relied upon by individual departments and workers in the health industry which are not fully protected because they re not on a high priority list or possibly because they have been overlooked. These applications are still worthy of protection. There are many things that can cause an IT system to be unavailable; from hardware failure to a software upgrade, change or perhaps a network or environment failure. Today BrightCloud can provide cost-effective Disaster Recovery for IT as a service (DRaaS) which provides peace of mind and saves money by protecting your mission critical applications and data from disaster. Your applications can be quickly restored for your users either over the N3 network or to mobile users available over secure connections, recreating your data back to the most recent recovery point and saving you time and money if disaster strikes. In short, minimising disruption and allowing you to continue to provide patient care.
