BC/DR
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Business continuity planning (BCP), disaster recovery strategy, backup and data protection, high availability, failover and redundancy, data replication and recovery, and crisis recovery planning for businesses across South Africa.
Overview
ITHQ provides business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) so your organisation can withstand disruption and recover quickly. We cover business continuity planning (BCP), disaster recovery strategy (DR), backup infrastructure and data protection, high availability architecture, failover systems and redundancy, data replication and recovery systems, and crisis recovery planning so you have plans, technical measures and tested recovery capability.
Whether you need to build a BC/DR programme from scratch, improve existing backup and DR, or add high availability and failover, we work to your RTO and RPO. Our services are grouped by theme below. Check our services or get in touch to discuss your needs.
What is business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR)?
Business continuity (BC) is how you keep critical business functions running during and after a disruption, through planning, alternate procedures and recovery. Disaster recovery (DR) is how you restore IT systems and data after an outage or disaster. BC/DR together cover planning (BCP, DR strategy, crisis recovery), technical measures (backup, replication, high availability, failover) and regular testing so you can recover within your target time and limit impact on the business.
Planning & strategy
Effective BC/DR starts with clear plans and strategy. We help you develop business continuity planning (BCP), disaster recovery strategy and crisis recovery planning so you know what to protect, how to recover and how to respond when disruption occurs.
Backup & replication
Backup and replication protect your data and support recovery. We help you design and implement backup infrastructure and data protection and data replication and recovery systems so your data is protected and recoverable within your RTO and RPO.
Availability & failover
High availability and failover keep critical systems up or bring them back quickly. We help you design and implement high availability architecture and failover systems and redundancy so you meet availability targets and reduce single points of failure.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about our business continuity and disaster recovery services.
- What is business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR)?
- Business continuity (BC) is how you keep critical business functions running during and after a disruption. Disaster recovery (DR) is how you restore IT systems and data after an outage or disaster. Together they cover planning (BCP, DR strategy, crisis recovery), technical measures (backup, replication, high availability, failover) and testing so you can recover within your target time and limit impact on the business.
- Do you help with backup and data protection?
- Yes. We help you design and implement backup infrastructure and data protection so your data is protected and recoverable. We support backup strategy (what to back up, how often, retention), backup platform selection and implementation, and testing of restore procedures so you can recover from data loss or corruption. We can work with on-premises, cloud and hybrid backup and align with your RTO and RPO requirements.
- How do you approach high availability and failover?
- We help you design and implement high availability (HA) and failover so critical systems stay available or recover quickly. We support HA architecture (clustering, load balancing, redundant components), failover design and testing, and data replication where needed so you meet availability targets. We work with your applications and infrastructure (including cloud) to implement redundancy and automated or manual failover that fits your risk and budget.
