Unforeseen hurricanes, tornados, floods or acts of terrorism can occur at any time. Unfortunately, unplanned and uncontrollable outages do happen. It may be due to a severe weather incident that shuts down a city or region or a simple mistake. Every business is vulnerable to some form of unplanned outage or disaster to a certain extent.

These statistics provide an undisputed case for organisations to prepare a business continuity plan for any unforeseen incident which arises. This plan incorporates the processes and procedures that an organisation establishes to ensure business can resume should a disruption occur. Business continuity solutions minimise the risk of an interruption to business–critical services such as making and receiving phone calls as well as accessing your data.
Ipitomi’s business continuity solution enables your organisation to be up and running within four hours of an unforeseen outage. Our solution incorporates:
Ipitomi Business Continuity Voice Service
Ipitomi’s Business Continuity Voice Services offer telephony solutions that ‘host’ your telephone numbers at network level. Using our Small Office and Home Office (SoHo) service, all incoming voice and data can be redirected to your home / alternate office in the event of a disruption and in most cases, this is done immediately. Ipitomi has a range of voice solutions that can provide you with a hassle-free disaster recovery call re-routing service cost effectively.
Ipitomi Remote Backup Service
Ipitomi’s Remote Backup Service offers one of the simplest, most secure systems for data backups. We can provide a means by which you can protect your business data as well as quickly and easily retrieve it in the case of an unforeseen incident. Our automated backup process also allows your staff to concentrate on their core tasks whilst increasing effectiveness and minimising risks. Our service enables you to obtain a replica of all your business data without having to buy any equipment.
Ipitomi Co-location Service
One of the most important factors enabling you to achieve business continuity is to ensure that you can retain your data and IT equipment if you experience an incident. Ipitomi’s co-location services enable you to rent rack space within a data centre as opposed to having equipment stored at your office premises.
Ipitomi can offer customers a co-location facility within a secure environment in London as well as various locations around the world. This environment benefits from an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), diesel generators, a fire suppression system, air conditioning, humidity control and a high level of security. Our onsite engineers change backup tapes, reboot the server and perform all the tasks required to ensure that all data centre equipment is operational. Ipitomi can provide flexible space ranging from a single U to dedicated caged areas that are fitted to the customer's specific requirements. Assurance that critical systems have both resiliency and redundancy built into the infrastructure provides the customer with the peace of mind against a potential outage 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
