Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Service
Every office needs a Business Continuity Plan in the event of a disaster. Legislative Audit has not only set this as a requirement, but they also require a demonstration of the plan including set up of the replacement hardware. This would be a very expensive and time-consuming proposition for each county to pursue.
ACT offers a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Service to its clients. Instead of each county having to purchase hardware and demonstrate their plan, ACT has purchased the required hardware, demonstrated the plan and hardware set up, and achieved Legislative Audit approval.
Subscribers to ACT’s BCDR Service would only need to document a location in their county with power and climate control where a temporary office could be set up. ACT will do the rest.
- Provide work stations, a server, a printer, and the necessary network equipment
- Install and configure all equipment in the designated location
- Restore the latest backup of the county’s data to the temporary server
ACT’s Disaster Recovery Service could be a very important element in your office being in compliance with Legislative Audit’s IT disaster recovery requirements.
