Our managed Déjà Vu Business Continuity system keeps you connected to your profits by making your data and applications available 24/7 – no matter what.

Even the most robust computer networks suffer outages. Until now, most businesses have been forced to absorb the high costs of malicious attacks, human error, equipment failure, disasters, and in the case of public companies, regulatory non-compliance (HIPPA/Sarbanes-Oxley).

Networks fail even if they are well protected, and "residual outages" can not be prevented by readily available solutions. While data can easily be protected up to the point of failure, they are useless during an outage when applications needed to run them are inaccessible. Because protected networks still fail, residual outages can mean expensive data and revenue losses for highly network dependent companies.

Recent studies by IDC show, large well protected networks provided application availability 97.8% of the time in 2004 and suffered average outages of 16.6 hours to over 40 hours per incident.   

High Availability Business Continuity Systems (HA/BC) assure the continuity of all business processes that rely on the uninterrupted functioning of your corporate network. An HA/BC System is essentially an off-site clone of your complete primary network including its applications -- managed by an IT crew 24/7. New data from the primary network are sent to the HA/BC in real time. Upon failure of the primary network, the HA/BC System takes over and business processes can proceed uninterrupted. 

State of the art, effective HA/BC solutions are only available to very large enterprises that can justify its incremental entry cost of about $500,000/year. IBM, SunGard and HP dominate this $11 billion business. However, an investment in HA/BC can be justified only if the dollar value of the residual outages eliminated is in acceptable proportion to its $500k+ annual investment.

Fortune 500 companies can justify investing “whatever it takes” to keep their networks going “no matter what” -- but  Companies in the $25-$400 million revenue range can not.

They must resort to other, partial solutions. With a wide choice of products and services available from a myriad of suppliers that can provide redundancy for prime points of failure such as equipment, power and connectivity, or deliver off site data back up and retrieval and archiving services, and data streaming and mirroring solutions. Many software companies deliver competent solutions for data replicating, tools for server and network monitoring and other network management aids.

However, none of them, even taken together, will provide your business with the uninterrupted ability to use your critical applications and business processes while your network is down.

Comparing a network to a race car and the IT manager to its driver, assume a tire blows at 150 mph on the racetrack. The driver makes an emergency pit stop. While his team replaces the tire, his competition passes him by. Although he eventually resumes speed and rejoins the race, the wasted time can never be recouped. This is analogous to redundant server, data backup, storage, and retrieval solutions.
