Bridging hardware failures thanks to redundancy

Even the most advanced technology can fail. Ensure redundancy in your IT with a fallback infrastructure in the Swiss Cloud and simply switch to the backup infrastructure in the event of an IT outage. Redundancy saves you time, hassle, and money.  

Even the most modern hardware has its weaknesses and canag. For example, a hard drive can crash, a server can overheat, or it can become temporarily overloaded. The result is usually a partial failure of the IT infrastructure. In such a situation, business processes stall or even come to a complete standstill. This quickly becomes cumbersome and expensive. Such scenarios are typical of so-called internal threats. However, mitigating the risk and significantly reducing downtime is not difficult. Redundancy is the key.

To counteract hardware failures, it's essential to assess real risks and implement preventative measures. Crucially needed parts of the infrastructure should be operated redundantly (i.e., with duplicate or even multiple backups). However, running all critical equipment redundantly is not only complex but also expensive. Netstream offers a simple solution for such hardware failures. 

With Netstream Workload Availability Service (NWAS), you can easily and securely build a standby system without having to invest further in hardware. Your team doesn't have to operate and maintain the systems twice. Nevertheless, in the event of a disaster (in this scenario, a hardware failure), you can simply put the standby system into operation in the Netstream Cloud (disaster recovery). 

It works like this: 

First, determine which systems are absolutely essential to keep your business processes running. Then, consider the maximum acceptable downtime for these systems. With this information, you can then configure the NWAS to meet your specific needs. 

Advantages at a glance: 

  1. Simple redundancy in the Swiss Cloud 
  2. Industry-leading recovery times of under 15 seconds. 
  3. Your virtual machines can be replicated in parallel, so that in the event of a disaster you can switch to the backup system virtually seamlessly. 
  4. Take the burden off your team.  
  5. Use Cloud backup even for planned outages (e.g., hardware maintenance, updates, etc.) 
  6. Keep a cool head in the event of a failure and simply activate your infrastructure in the Netstream Cloud. 
  7. Simple redundancy without having to build a fallback infrastructure. 
  8. Protect yourself against other failure scenarios as well.
