Your entire business continuity strategy depends on the availability of your underlying hardware platform.  And if you are virtualizing your environment – running multiple critical applications on fewer machines – the availability of each physical server becomes even more important in your continuity plan.  Downtime can be devastating. 

In such a high-stakes environment why wait to recover from unplanned downtime when you can prevent downtime -- and data loss -- in the first place?  Make business continuity an offensive strategy … a competitive differentiator ... rather than a reactionary plan.

The Commercial Benefits of Business Continuity

Managing IT availability well on a day-to-day basis creates the conditions necessary for business continuity management.  It enables your business to operate at maximum efficiency all of the time. In turn that makes your company more productive, more reliable.  Customer loyalty goes up.  Shareholder value increases.  Your reputation is secure. 

A business that is proven resilient may even result in new customers.  In fact if you are in a regulated industry – pharmaceutical, healthcare, utility, financial services, etc. – it may be only a matter of time before business continuity compliance is a requirement in the RFPs/RFQs issued to your company.

So how do you prepare?  Where do you start?  With a solid building block at the computer server level.  Continuous availability at the server level safeguards data integrity and provides the strongest footing for business continuity.
