Natural disasters also pose a great danger to companies. According to the researches, 50% of the companies that lost their data center due to a disaster for 10 days or more are filing for bankruptcy. According to ITserv, disaster recovery is critical to avoid catastrophic data loss.

Natural disasters, as well as digital disasters and cyber attacks, can have devastating consequences for companies. According to researches, 50 percent of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster file for bankruptcy. According to ITserv, which offers end-to-end information technology solutions for corporations, disaster recovery is critical in order not to experience devastating data loss.

How is disaster recovery done?

Earthquakes, floods, storms or other natural disasters can completely destroy the digital infrastructure of companies. With the studies of the Disaster Recovery Center (FKM), solutions are offered by analyzing each component in the system infrastructure before the disaster occurs. Preparations are made by taking into account situations such as a single virtual server, a single physical server, a single network device or the loss of a whole system room and creating solution scenarios. ITserv has been providing services by conducting controls and exercises with the projects it has realized in Turkey and abroad since 2015. Without looking at the event as just an earthquake or a major natural disaster, it is considered that each object can be lost.

What should be done for minimum data loss?

ITserv Corporate Solutions Deputy General Manager Gökhan Dikmen explains the disaster recovery center process as follows: “Actually, almost everyone in the industry has a contingency plan, good or bad. However, as ITserv, we think that sending information from one place to another is the easiest part of the job. The important thing is that even if it is a single service or server, the systems can be restarted from FKM when needed, without any service interruption, with minimum data and time loss. Not only data, but also other peripheral components such as firewall, network switches, VPN should be considered and planned correctly.”

There may be errors even in the backup.

According to international studies (Price Waterhouse Coopers, University of Texas, Gartner), 93 percent of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster file for bankruptcy within one year after the disaster. According to data from the US National Archives Office, 50 percent of businesses that lacked data management in the same period file for bankruptcy immediately. Again, research shows that 77 percent of companies that test information backups find backup errors.

Quickly restores data

ITCloud and ITBackup, which are affiliated with the IT Group, which also includes ITserv Technology Services, offer disaster recovery and business continuity services for institutions. With its disaster recovery service, it determines the weaknesses and strengths of the institutions and directs them to the most accurate approach with the correct determination. Thanks to disaster recovery scenarios specially designed for institutions, preparations are made against all kinds of problems, including natural disasters and cyber attacks. After meeting and resolving the crisis, the backups stored in ITCloud are restored in a very short time with high bandwidth.
