Disaster Recovery Services

If a disaster strikes, will you be prepared? - As organisations face such situations in growing numbers, they are realising the costly, far-reaching impacts of not having key capabilities readily deployed when emergency situations occur-impacts that affect your infrastructure, employees, customers, operations and day-to-day lives. Heightened exposure to disruptive and catastrophic events in recent years coupled with increasing government and commercial interdependencies make disaster recovery and crisis management a critical business imperative.

IBM Disaster Recovery Services can help ease the negative effects by showing you how to prepare for, respond to and recover from disruptive events, from the minor to the catastrophic. Working with IBM, you can better recover from events that could otherwise greatly damage your operations and brand reputation.

Do you have a disaster recovery plan in place?
Do you know what actions to take in the event of a disaster or how your organisation would deal with such a situation? Do you have the proper resources to do so? Wouldn't you rather dedicate those resources to managing normal business operations than preparing for contingencies?

Planning for disaster requires global resources and industry-specific expertise. IBM's vast network, capabilities and 40 years of experience speak for themselves. We offer:

• 154 resiliency centres in 55 countries for testing, disaster declaration and work area recovery.
• Disaster recovery services for more than 12,000 clients.
• A proven track record of recovering 100% of our clients that have declared a disaster.

By helping to recover your infrastructure, keep critical employees online, and maintain open and effective communications across your organisation during a disruption, we can help you preserve your business operations-and your brand image.
