What is Zenith ARCA?
Why ARCA?
Backup. Disaster Recovery. Business Continuity.
For many IT departments, these terms are often synonymous with backing up to tape or external hard drive. But in truth, that’s just a backup.
If you house backup data at an off-site storage facility, then you have the start of a disaster recovery plan. At this point, most companies feel that if they can put their hands on their data they have a degree of business continuity.
But maintaining business continuity – actually using the data to repair or recover from a problem in a short timeframe – is often an unforeseen impossibility. The penalty for extended downtime starts at lost productivity and revenue, and in extreme cases, ends when the business closes forever.
