Disaster Recovery

Hi! I'm Laura, and I'm pretty sure I just lost all of my data. As a CTO, this is your worst nightmare. 

An unforeseen catastrophe wiping out all of your data, just like that. But, we don't want to see that happen. 

So let's talk about the disaster recovery options that are available to you with Skyward. 

Hosting with ISCorp 

If you are hosting with ISCorp, our exclusive secure cloud provider, you already have a disaster recovery plan in place. 

Physical security starts with dual data centers, one in Mequon, WI, and one in Dallas, TX. 

If something were to happen to one of these sites, your data would be preserved in the other. N+1 redundancy means there are multiple hardware backups in place at all times. 

All of your backups will be securely stored at an Iron Mountain facility. 

If you host Skyward in-house, we can help you there too!

You can set up a Disaster Recovery plan through ISCorp to include written procedures, frequent recurring backups to our remote disaster recovery environment, and guaranteed next-business-day recovery. 

If you're more of a do-it-yourselfer, there is a software solution as well. 

With OpenEdge Replication, you can set up a real-time replication service to store your data in two locations so you don't have to keep all your eggs in one basket. 

I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but it's true that terrible things can happen out of the blue. Make sure you have all your bases covered with a disaster recovery plan. 

Stay tuned for the next Quick Hits for CTOs, coming soon.
