Business Continuity

Business continuity is vital to business success, and in today's interconnected world, virtually every aspect of a company's operations is vulnerable to disruption. Some risks could take your business offline for days, but in a competitive environment, even minutes of downtime could prove fatal. So, how do you determine the resiliency and recovery requirements of your business? How do you identify and integrate critical business and IT priorities into a comprehensive continuity and resiliency program?

High Availability

High availability is a system design approach and associated service implementation that ensures a prearranged level of operational performance will be met during a contractual measurement period. In today's environment, all users expect that their access to computer systems and applications are available 100% of the time with no interruptions or denial of service scheduled or unscheduled. We live in a world of immediate expectations and any delays in electronic accessibility from phones, PDA, tablets, Blackberry's, laptops or desktops is generally met with user outbursts of extreme frustration.

Able-One Systems has unique skills for both the IBM Power Series (System i and System p), Microsoft and Linux environments to build fully redundant servers in a virtual or non virtual environment to ensure continuous up-time with no interruptions in service. Of course for every company there are budgetary constraints since a fully redundant environment from desktop to server is possible but expensive. As hardware and software costs decline more companies, particularly where uptime is essential to core business, are investing to build high availability solutions. High Availability is a topic that all companies should have an action plan for.
