Business Continuity & Data Recovery
Resilience Built for the Modern Enterprise.
Data isn’t just information—it’s the engine of your company. At DCNS, we move beyond simple backups to provide true Business Continuity. We bridge the gap between complex data protection and your daily operations, ensuring your infrastructure is resilient against everything from local hardware failures to widespread cyber threats. We don’t just protect your data; we ensure your team stays operational through every challenge.
Keep Your Business Running When Disaster Strikes.
A major IT failure can bring business operations to a standstill. DCNS helps businesses prepare for unexpected outages, hardware failures, cyber incidents, data loss, and other disruptions with practical backup and recovery strategies.
When Technology Fails, Your Business Shouldn’t.
Hardware failure, ransomware, accidental deletion, natural disasters, and service outages can happen without warning. A well-designed disaster recovery strategy helps your organization recover critical systems and data and get employees back to work.
Backup Is Not the Same as Disaster Recovery.
Having a copy of your data is important, but recovering from a serious outage requires more than a backup.
Backup
Backup protects copies of your important information so it can be restored after accidental deletion, corruption, hardware failure, or other data-loss events.
- Protects important data
- Provides recovery points
- Helps recover deleted or corrupted files
- Supports long-term data retention
Disaster Recovery
Disaster recovery goes beyond backup by addressing how your business will restore systems, applications, data, and operations after a major disruption.
- Restores critical systems
- Addresses business continuity
- Defines recovery priorities
- Establishes recovery objectives
Build a Recovery Strategy Around What Matters Most.
Every business has different systems, applications, and recovery requirements. DCNS helps identify the technology and data that are most important to your operations.
Servers
Protect critical physical and virtual servers and establish recovery procedures for system failures.
Workstations
Help recover important user systems and the data employees need to perform their jobs.
Business Applications
Identify critical applications and consider their recovery requirements as part of the overall plan.
Business Data
Protect files, databases, documents, and other information your organization relies on every day.
Microsoft 365
Evaluate the protection and recovery requirements for Microsoft 365 data and services.
Cloud Workloads
Consider recovery requirements for cloud-based systems, services, and workloads.
Protect. Monitor. Test. Recover. Restore.
Effective disaster recovery is an ongoing process, not something you think about only after a disaster.
Protect
Identify and protect critical systems and data.
Monitor
Monitor backup processes and identify potential issues.
Test
Verify that recovery procedures and backups work.
Recover
Restore systems and data following a disruption.
Restore
Return critical business operations to normal.
How Much Data Can You Afford to Lose?
Recovery planning should be based on your business requirements. Two important measurements are RPO and RTO.
RPO
Recovery Point Objective
RPO defines how much data your organization could potentially afford to lose following an incident.
RTO
Recovery Time Objective
RTO defines how quickly your organization needs critical systems and operations to be restored.
Be Prepared for the Unexpected.
A disaster can take many forms. A recovery strategy should account for the events most likely to impact your organization.
Server Failure
A critical server experiences a hardware failure and business applications are no longer available.
Restore Critical Systems
Use the appropriate recovery procedures to restore critical systems and return employees to work.
Ransomware
Business systems or files are compromised by malicious software.
Contain, Investigate & Recover
Work with your security and IT teams to contain the incident and recover systems and data from appropriate recovery points.
Accidental Data Deletion
An important file, folder, database, or other business information is accidentally deleted.
Recover the Required Data
Locate an appropriate recovery point and restore the information needed by your organization.
Natural Disaster
Fire, flooding, severe weather, or another event makes your normal facility or equipment unavailable.
Activate Business Continuity Procedures
Follow established recovery procedures designed to keep critical business functions moving while the primary environment is unavailable.
Service or Infrastructure Outage
A critical infrastructure component or service becomes temporarily unavailable.
Restore Critical Operations
Identify the affected systems, prioritize critical operations, and follow the appropriate recovery plan.
A Backup Is Only Valuable If You Can Restore It.
Backups can fail for many reasons. Testing recovery procedures helps identify problems before a real disaster occurs.
DCNS can help evaluate recovery procedures and verify that critical systems and data can be recovered according to your organization’s requirements.
Recovery Starts Before the Incident.
Modern disaster recovery planning should account for cybersecurity threats as well as traditional hardware and infrastructure failures.
Ransomware and other cyber incidents can affect both systems and backups. Recovery planning should therefore be considered alongside your broader cybersecurity strategy.
Secure Recovery
Consider how recovery data and systems are protected from unauthorized access.
Multiple Recovery Considerations
Evaluate recovery options based on the type and severity of the incident.
Coordinated Response
Coordinate cybersecurity incident response with disaster recovery procedures when needed.
Your Recovery Plan Should Be Built Around Your Business.
There is no one-size-fits-all disaster recovery strategy. DCNS helps evaluate your systems, identify critical business functions, understand recovery requirements, and develop practical strategies for protecting and restoring your technology environment.
