Could Managed Services Give You Better Disaster Recovery?
Posted on July 14th, 2010 by Chris Chrobocinski |
Disaster recovery and business continuity can be a challenge to manage effectively. In addition to investing considerable amounts of capital into robust, reliable solutions, you’re stuck with the nagging thought that you’re putting your budget into something you hope you never actually have to use. Anything you can do to simplify your D/R framework comes with an inherent cost advantage, particularly through a reduction in complexity and resource-hours committed to planning and managing the environment.
In addition to streamlining your IT operation and organization, the use of a managed infrastructure service provider could simplify your D/R environment, bringing with it a reduction in costs and freeing up your IT budget for deployment to higher-impact IT initiatives. Move to a managed services approach to your infrastructure, and the benefits actually extend beyond the traditional TCO/ROI case.
Consider MTM’s Aware360v2 managed infrastructure, for example. Of course, we have a rigorous, reliable and tested D/R program in place – which is something you should look for when going through your due diligence on a potential partner in this space. The advantage, however, is that we apply it to all our clients, which provides an economy of scale that simply isn’t attainable for most individual companies. As a result, we’re able to keep the cost of operation contained. An in-house approach to enterprise-wide D/R is naturally more costly, both in terms of direct expense and consumption of IT department resources.
Disaster recovery doesn’t have to be difficult. Move to a managed services environment, and it’s part of the solution you engage. Focus on your business, and work with MTM to manage your infrastructure: D/R is part of the package.
