Don't Wait Until You Have a Disaster to Find Out IF You can Recover

IPR believes that anything that diminishes our client’s ability to resume operations and recover their data needs to be replaced with a better, more robust solution.  For this reason, we do not believe in tape-based backup and we do believe in dedicated recovery whenever possible.

1. Our clients asked us to develop this service …they were not happy with the service and the price they were paying for “DR” subscription services and, since we were already protecting their data they asked us to help them with a better recovery solution.
2. The “traditional DR subscription model” was created before the internet, before mobile PCs, before a global, distributed, 24 X 7 business world…and it has changed very little….it’s time for a new paradigm.
3. We don’t want our clients to wait for a disaster to discovery if they can recover….
4. We aim for a higher goal…Continuity of Operations (CoOP), Operational Resiliency, Continuous Computing…call it what you like, but we do not want our clients to “recover” from a disaster….we want them to continue no matter what! 
5. We deliberately called our facility a “Business Recovery Center”….we’ll help our clients establish a temporary, new “normal state of operations” to help them move through disruptions and interruptions.
6. Enterprise business has pulled away from the traditional model and created their own recovery centers by replicating data from one center to the other with immediate failover capability. 
7. Because of virtualization…you can do the same thing.  Instead of owning another data center and a twin set of hardware and software, you can have DEDICATED resources within our virtual environment …  a mini version with the maximum capabilities. 
8. “Hope” is not a recovery strategy
9.  “Alive When you Arrive”…why wait to get there to start resuming operations…get things rolling immediately.
10. We’re so committed to recovery that we insist that all of our clients complete one full exercise within the first 6 months of deployment in our center.
11. Resume….not recover!
12. We are the only service provider that we know of who offers you a guarantee….build your Recovery Roadmap ™ with our Recovery Engineers and we can GUARANTEE to meet or exceed your RTOs and RPOs or our service is free for three months!”   It is, and always has been about recovery.....

Key Differentiators

1. IPR believes that anything that diminishes our client’s ability to resume operations and recover their data needs to be replaced with a better, more robust solution.  For this reason, we do not believe in tape-based backup and we do believe in dedicated recovery whenever possible.
2. We believe in maintaining two copies of our client’s data on RAID 5+ technologies which yields a meantime between data loss in excess of 2000 years.
3. We believe we should maintain a posture that is “technology agnostic”, which allows us to be creative and to partner with all technology companies to deliver the right solution to serve our client.

Today, businesses of all sizes are increasingly dependant on an ever expanding wealth of information. Recent estimates show that electronic data makes up approximately 80% of companies assets. Furthermore, the growing threat of disaster, whether from hurricanes, the latest computer viruses, or tragic events such as those that took place on September 11th, 2001 add to the already daunting responsibilities undertaken by burdened IT staffs across the globe.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery are no longer a luxury that can only be implemented by the wealthiest of companies; they have become a mandatory component of business strategy for all companies, big or small. A successful Disaster Recovery plan can mean major competitive advantage in today’s aggressive business landscape.

IPR International provides a single solution for disaster recovery that combines data protection (backup & replication), offsite DR data storage, and DR facilities with a streamlined and simple implementation process. This means that our client’s Disaster Recovery Plan is built around the company’s most valuable asset; their data, as opposed to physical hardware and infrastructure. Not only do our clients have a physical location with pre configured hardware, they also gain piece of mind knowing that their mission critical data and applications will be available by the time they reach IPR’s DR site. All client data is encrypted, encoded, and stored on “Live” spinning disks in two geographically separated data centers.

The end result is a fully managed solution that supports every facet of Disaster Recovery Planning.
