Taking a Full Spectrum Approach to Disaster Recovery

You need Disaster Recovery experts who look at your whole business, because a disaster impacts your entire business. Therefore, a trusted and solid DRP takes a comprehensive view and ensures business continuity. 

That’s why Clarity’s Disaster Recovery experts and engineers take a full spectrum approach. They take the time to assess and map out your needs. They look at your whole business from your infrastructure architecture providing redundancy and replication options, cybersecurity, and helping with industry regulatory compliance requirements.

Clarity’s full spectrum approach to disaster recovery looks deeper to assess your complete disaster recovery needs. 

For example….

• Often in Disaster Recovery assessments, maintaining High Availability (HA) is overlooked. Clarity doesn’t overlook anything. We take a targeted look at maintaining HA. 

• Clarity includes both of our high security Canadian based Data Centers in our DR planning. Hosting your production environment at one Clarity data center and making an exact duplication at our other data center.

• Our DR specialist and engineers configure replication between both of Clarity’s secure data centers with a specific retention strategy.

• Active/Active (Warm Standby) configuration is also included in both data center sites. By making sure they run parallel to each other, this results in mitigating the possibility of a smaller window for a failover to occur.

• Active/Passive (Cold Standby) configuration involves a documented process to failover, causing a slightly longer time to return to services. We consider your industry compliance requirements to help you decide which configuration is the best option.
