Disaster Recovery

If you're not prepared for a disaster involving your corporate network, your business is at great risk. If your disaster recovery plan is ground-based, consider diversifying your solution with an RDS satellite system that will keep your communications flowing even when all else fails. If you're a disaster recovery services provider, we've got you covered with an end-to-end solution or the reliable capacity you need to complete your own offering.

All it takes is a storm, fire, network outage, computer glitch or fibre cut and a critical link of your ground based communications network can be knocked out of business for days, even weeks. Every minute your network is down can cost your business money, reputation and future revenues.

Enterprises have begun to realise the tremendous potential of the Internet, which has become an integral component of many businesses. As enterprises depend on the Internet for day-to-day business transactions, fault tolerant connectivity becomes imperative. Many enterprises will see their businesses seriously impacted after relatively short periods of downtime, yet most companies today have only one connection to the Internet. To ensure continual fault tolerance, backup link services should a) come from a different service provider, and b) follow a separate cable route.
In many cases the costs of installing secondary links may be a factor in neglecting backup services, but more often, IT directors recognise that both their primary and secondary links follow the same cable path at some point, and are therefore susceptible to backhoe cuts or other disruptions. The additional security provided by a secondary, wire-based backup link is therefore significantly limited and therefore, difficult to cost justify.

Solution: RDS’s satellite technology provides business class broadband solutions that provide the speed, flexibility, reliability, and simplicity that companies demand. RDS satellite service meets business requirements by a) providing a redundant link from a second service provider, and more importantly, b) taking a path that is immune to cuts or other wire-based connectivity problems.
