Whatever product or service your business provides, the internal arrangements made to ensure availability or recoverability of your organization's systems may not be enough to instill confidence in your clients. If a disaster strikes, critical business processes will come to a standstill if your organization’s office facilities are damaged or destroyed. When key personnel are unable to access their systems or communicate with customers and suppliers until the facilities are repaired or replaced, damage to the organization’s bottom line and reputation may be irreparable.

Business Resumption Services from NET6 can protect your organization from this risk by ensuring the ability of your key personnel to resume their critical business processes within minutes of declaring a disaster.

The NET6 Service Offer

Resuming critical business processes in the event of a disaster requires:

• A suitable alternate facility, with supporting infrastructure, where key staff can work until their normal facility is usable
• Configured workstations, complete with phones, desktop computers, printers, faxes, a local area network, and internet connectivity
• Network connectivity from the alternate facility to the computer systems required by the relocated personnel.

Without advance arrangements, satisfying all of these requirements in an acceptable timeframe may be impossible. The NET6 Business Resumption Service ensures that all advance arrangements, required to minimize business interruption to an acceptable level, are in place.

First, NET6 provides a secure work area in its facility; pre-wired for power, phone service, and data connectivity for up to 140 workstations. If a disaster affects your facility, NET6 will set up desks for the specified number of staff, and prepare the area for occupancy. Second, using its existing network, NET6 will provide connectivity from the desktop computers to the organization’s computer systems in the NET6 data centre. Once the work area is ready for use, NET6 will provide controlled access to the facility for the designated personnel.

Access may be provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week, if required. By subscribing to the NET6 Business Resumption Service, you are guaranteed that key personnel will be able to resume critical business functions almost immediately, even if your normal office facilities are damaged or destroyed.
