Even the most modern technology can fail. Ensure redundancy in your IT with a fallback infrastructure in the Swiss cloud and simply switch to the standby infrastructure in the event of an IT outage. Redundancy saves you time, stress and money.
Even the most modern hardware has its weak points and can malfunction and fail. A hard drive might crash, a server might overheat or become temporarily overloaded, for example. The result is usually a partial failure of the IT infrastructure. In such a situation, business processes stall or even grind to a halt. This quickly becomes tedious and expensive. Scenarios like these are typical of so-called internal sources of risk. But reducing the risk and cutting downtime massively is not difficult. Redundancy is the key word here.
To counter hardware failures, you need to assess the real risks and take preventive measures. Essential parts of the infrastructure should definitely be operated redundantly (i.e. twice or even several times over). But operating all important equipment twice is not only time-consuming but also expensive. Netstream has a simple solution ready for hardware failures like these.
With Netstream Workload Availability Service (NWAS for short), you can set up a standby system easily and securely without having to invest further in hardware. Your team does not 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 in the Netstream Cloud into operation (Disaster Recovery).
It’s that simple:
First, determine which systems are absolutely necessary to keep your business processes running. Then consider the maximum length of time these systems may be down. With this information, you can then configure NWAS to suit your needs.
Benefits at a glance:
- Simple redundancy in the Swiss cloud
- The industry’s fastest recovery times of under 15 seconds.
- Your virtual machines can be replicated in parallel so that you can switch to the standby system practically seamlessly in the event of a disaster.
- Take the load off your team.
- Also use the backup in the cloud for planned outages (e.g. hardware maintenance, updates,…)
- Keep a cool head during an outage and simply activate your infrastructure in the Netstream Cloud.
- Simple redundancy without having to build a fallback infrastructure.
- Protect yourself against other outage scenarios too.
