Backup & Disaster Recovery
We Fully Manage Your Data Backup & Disaster Recovery Plan!
onthenetOffice Business Continuity Planning onthenetOffice understands the importance of business continuity and has developed Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery Programs to ensure that our clients realize the highest level of availability to their infrastructure. As an internal corporate policy, these programs are continually reviewed and updated to ensure minimal impact to our clients in the unlikely event of a disaster.
While developing and maintaining these plans, the Disaster Recovery Planning Team must consider the organizational, managerial and technical environments in which the disaster recovery plans will be implemented, assess the types and likely parameters of disasters most likely to occur, and their resultant impacts on the Company’s ability to perform its critical business processes; compile a list of protective measures to be implemented in anticipation of natural or man-made business interruptions. In terms of personnel and financial resources, the tasks and procedures detailed in this Plan represent onthenetOffice management’s commitment to response, resumption, recovery and restoration planning.
