Techni-Core's Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning prepares you so your business can recover from a major incident such as catastrophic loss of a server or even the whole building itself. Every company should have a disaster recovery plan in place yet few do. A fire, lightning strike or major tornado could devastate your company with little or no warning and leave you unable to conduct business. Disaster Recovery Planning goes far beyond mere data backups. It is details the complex task of being able to plan in advance so you can quickly recover business-critical systems when faced with an unexpected major incident. Without a Disaster Recovery Plan, you could be faced with a prolonged and expensive recovery phase or possible loss of your business altogether.

What is included in a Disaster Recovery Plan:

Techni-Core already has a mature Disaster Recovery Plan in place for our own business and we make sure that it works by carrying out simulations and proof-of-concept so we know we can reply on it if the unthinkable were to happen. When you sign up for Disaster Recovery Planning, you can be sure we have expertise in this critical area.

Preparing a viable Disaster Recovery Plan requires a special approach. Many clients mistakenly think that having backups of their data is all that is needed. Another common misconception is that small businesses don't need a Disaster Recovery Plan (when in actuality they are the very types of businesses that do not have the asset strength to sustain major losses). Any organization that has no plan in place will quickly realize that they are faced with serious problems in getting their systems back up and operational after a major incident.

The first stage of Disaster Recovery Planning takes an educational approach. This includes an introductory presentation on the art and science of true Disaster Recovery for your team leaders and management staff. Techni-Core will help you and your management team understand what it really takes to get back on your feet in the face of a major incident.

Techni-Core will then work with you to create an actual written plan. Because Techni-Core’s focus is on IT infrastructure, we will create a plan to show you what is needed to recover your computing assets but we will also help you identify other non-IT business assets that will need to be included as well.

Techni-Core will work with you to:

  • Identify the types of disasters you should be prepared for. This includes every type of incident such as loss of an office building or loss of key personnel to loss of critical domains servers and so on.
  • Characterize disasters, identify your critical assets and learn which disasters can be avoided altogether.
  • Quantify acceptable business downtime and recovery windows
  • Understand risk and how to mitigate risk and loss
  • Prepare your Disaster Recovery Plan
  • Publish your Plan
  • Test your Plan
  • Routinely review your Plan

NEW! The Arxceo Ally IP1000

Arxceo's approach to enhancing network security has created a unique solution that complements and enhances existing intrusion detection, intrusion prevention and firewall products as well as provides a significant advancement toward protecting PDAs, smartphones, 3G Mobile phones and other limited CPU, RAM, and power platforms.

The Ally IP1000, PnPro and Tag-UR-IT technology enhances the security of existing firewall-protected corporate and government sites. Arxceo products provide a more secure DMZ front-end that guarantees every TCP/IP source address arriving from the Internet is who they say they are. Coupling this IP Source Authentication filter with superior reporting and data collection allows administrators to fully realize when truly dangerous cyberhackers are targeting their site. Arxceo's products are undetectable on the network and do not require any modifications to routing tables or other network configurations -- it's truly "plug and protect (PnPRO)". Therefore, PnPro is also the perfect technology for today's 'bulkhead' requirements - protecting the LAN from intrusions coming from the inside, as opposed to the traditional front door firewall role. Application or database specific firewalls are now easy, cost effective, and literally free of performance impacts.

A truly innovative approach - "Not seeing is believing!"

As Ben Franklin stated, "Necessity is the mother of invention". Arxceo's PnPro technology stems from a public PC access environment where a firewall wasn't allowed by the IT department due to policy. Fortunately for Arxceo, this policy created some very frustrated administrators. If only they could implement a firewall that wasn't even detectable to their own IT department... that didn't affect any existing configurations or routers... that didn't impact performance... that protected systems from hackers on the outside and misuse or viruses on the inside... something that just plugged in and started protecting in both directions.
