Disaster recovery and business continuity Surrey
Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity
In a business world that is dependent on technology, the smallest of problems can have the biggest of impacts; any downtime can result in significant costs and reputational damage. And with the threat of ransomware now an everyday presence, it is critical to ensure you have systems and plans in place for effective backup and recovery.
Based in Surrey, Pro Drive IT can help your organisation to develop a business continuity strategy and implement a bespoke plan specifically for your IT systems. We will also regularly test this strategy and your systems so that, if you do suffer a major technology failure, you can be confident of a rapid recovery of service.
- Have you got a plan in place to support your business’s ability to remain in operation after a disastrous event such as cyber attacks, human error or natural disasters?
- Do you know whether all your business IT systems, settings and data are backed up to a remote location regularly?
- Are you sure you’ve got an effective strategy for achieving resiliency?
If the answer is no, or you’re not sure about all or any of these questions, you may want to book our 90-minute Discovery workshop. It will provide you with the information you need and specific steps to take to ensure you have Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery nailed.

What Is Disaster Recovery?
Business continuity and disaster recovery are related practices that support a business’s ability to remain in operation after a disastrous event such as cyber-attacks, human error or natural disasters. As cybercrime is on the rise, more and more organisations are looking to become prepared for potential threats. Every organisation, small or large, is becoming increasingly dependent on IT disaster recovery and business continuity to avoid any downtime.
Disaster recovery ensures all your business IT systems, settings and data are backed up to a remote location regularly so that you never need to worry about them if you suffer service failures, accidental overwrites and deletions, or if you fall victim to cybercrime.
The Importance of Recovery & Backup
Ensuring all your company’s data is backed up minimises the effects of outages and disruptions on your business’s operations. Disaster recovery and backup ensure your organisation can swiftly get back on its feet after problems occur and reduce the risk of data being lost which may cause harm to the reputation of the company. Disaster recovery and business continuity require thorough planning and preparation to create an effective strategy for achieving resiliency. Without a backup plan in place, you may not be able to rebuild your business to trade again following an incident.
What’s The Difference Between Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery for IT?
Business continuity is a proactive approach and generally refers to the processes and procedures implemented by a business that ensures functions can continue during and following a disastrous event. It focuses on the business whilst disaster recovery concentrates on the IT infrastructure.
Disaster recovery is more reactive and is comprised of specific steps that an organisation must take to resume operations after an incident.
Both disaster recovery and business continuity pose similarities. They both consider a variety of unplanned disasters from cyber-attacks to human error and even natural disasters like fires or floods. They also both have the goal of getting the business running as normally as possible after an incident has occurred.
Services We Offer in Surrey
Continuous Data Protection with Cloud & Data Centre Replication
CDP (continuous data protection) is a system backup that backs up data on a computer system or cloud every time a change is made. It provides powerful protection against external threats as well as accidental deletion or overwriting.
Desktop & Laptop Backup
Protect your data from being lost to hardware failure, threats or physical disasters with our desktop and laptop backup services. Our backup solutions, including cloud services, mean your local data is backed up off-site to minimise risk.
File, Email & Application Level High Availability
High Availability (HA) architecture minimises the impact of unplanned incidents on your operations. It ensures your systems are up and running and accessible to your users during these unforeseen circumstances. With HA, your files, emails, and applications will continue as a responsive service.
Managed Co-Location
When organisations don’t have the resources for building a data centre facility, a managed co-location extends all the benefits of a typical data centre to keep your data secure. Our managed co-location enables you to set up, control, secure and monitor workloads hosted in a different location.
Long Term Archive Tape
Tape is the most cost-effective solution for secure storage that requires little power to store data for longer periods. It’s a crucial component of cyber security.
