“We needed to deploy infrastructure solutions for voice and data in the current hospital, which was going to remain operational, as well as the new hospital”

Disaster Recovery
At a time when threats are varied and unexpected — utility outages, natural disasters, computer worms and viruses, and even terror attacks — being prepared is more critical than ever. Preparing for the unexpected is what business continuity planning is all about. All organizations must ask themselves, “if a terrorist attack were to happen, would we be able to continue our most critical operations?”Continuity of IT is a key pillar in such a plan: uninterrupted access to applications, information, and networks is essential to business continuity as many organizations are increasingly reliant upon their IT environment for day-to-day operations.
One of the key ways Covisia helps clients strengthen their overall business continuity is by helping them understand how dependent they are on effective delivery of information and applications to key employees in different areas of their business.
For instance, organizations examining their business continuity position should ask themselves:
- What are the threats to continuous operation of our business? Have we considered every possibility? Do we know the risks?
- Do we have specific plans for maintaining business continuity in the event of a disaster?
- Is the IT environment designed to make our business better suited to respond to a disaster, or does our reliance on IT make our company more vulnerable?
- How much money does our company lose when employees cannot access critical applications and information?
- Which functions, employees, types of information and applications need to be continuously available during a potential disruption?
- How do IT-based initiatives fit into our business’s larger plan for business continuity?
Covisia’s Application Delivery solutions offer the ability to provide a critical foundation of your overall business continuity and disaster recovery plan. This is due to Covisia’s unrivaled expertise in helping organizations centralize the delivery of critical information and applications.
This means Covisia not only greatly reduces your business’ reliance on specific pieces of hardware, but can also open secure, remote access to information and applications anytime and anywhere that there is an internet connection.
