Higher education disaster recovery

Don’t want your site to go down
during clearing?

We understand that having your university's site up and running at all times is important, but could you imagine if you were to experience downtime during clearing?

Fear not. Disaster recovery has your back.

What is disaster recovery (DR) we hear you ask?

This is when a DR environment takes a complete copy of the data you have stored in your primary data centre in a separate second location.

We make sure that we take a copy of the data from your primary data centre every 10 minutes, which means your recovery environment is completely up to date.
