The Unexpected

Twice in the 1990’s the City of London was rocked by terrorist attacks. More recently, New York has suffered a similar fate. No amount of planning could have prevented the disruption to business but contingency planning did reduce the business impact.

How? Put simply, many of the companies caught up in these catastrophes had recognised in advance that information was their lifeblood. They made sure they had regular backup copies of their data and ensured this would be available whatever the circumstances.

Many of the companies in the City had lost their premises on that terrible Saturday but were back in business on Monday morning. This was not luck, it was preparation and contingency. A business may not be able to plan for every disaster but it is possible to reduce the impact.
Foxfire helped the City back to its feet we can do the same for you.

Data Backups

As technology reduces the importance of distances, it increases the pressures of time. To have that vital information at your disposal may make the difference between success and failure. If your system fails, how long can you survive without it? When it is restored, how current must the data be? Ten minutes ago? A hour ago? A day ago?

There is an array of options available that will allow your business to get back on track. These range from the periodic backup carried out when some one remembers to real time solutions that ensure as data changes it’s copied to a remote location.

Foxfire can help you choose the solution that meets your business requirements. On the super information highway of today, you can’t afford to wait for the local garage to tow you to the nearest dealer, you need the courtesy car right now and if you are not covered, it may be a long walk home.

Recovery Services

The AA of IT
You leave the office, having put the backup tape into your desk drawer. Next morning the building has been burnt to the ground. Your business is in trouble! Simply backing up data is no guarantee. The backup media needs to be stored off site, far enough away so that a local disaster need not be a business disaster.

Foxfire can arrange storage of backup media on a schedule and location to suit your business needs. If the unexpected happens, you can be sure that one of the most important assets survived, your data. This can be achieved by either physically storing your media offsite or by using the Internet as a data repository.

Either way, no matter how bad things look, business can continue. Foxfire offer a range of disaster recovery services and can tailor these to suit your needs or budget.
