DBSi offers a full suite of disaster recovery and business continuity services ranging from quick ship and standby operating systems to real-time data replication and continuous availability.
| Dynamic Managed Recovery Pays Dividends |
| A $1+ billion financial services firm–wanted to take every precaution in keeping their customers’ data safe and available. They knew they were investment experts–not information technology specialists. They outlined their specific needs and budgets for disaster recovery to DBSi, and together we came up with an easy-to-understand Dynamic Managed Recovery service level agreement that gave them all the assurance they–and their customers–needed. |
| When their building was shut down due to a nearby flood, the company’s first phone call was to DBSi and the plan kicked into action. We managed the tape delivery, restored their data, provided the requisite bandwidth capacity and recovered their entire environment from the operating system on up within four hours. |
| When they arrived at our facility, they settled into their business continuity office suites and got right to work. Managed recovery saved this DBSi client hundreds of thousands of dollars through the reduction in outage time. |
With our flexible solutions and client-focused business continuity service agreements, DBSi will help you:

Beyond Traditional DR
System and data recovery is a complex process. A myriad of problems can occur, from corrupt backup tapes to invalid network configs to back-dated patch levels. A failure during recovery can cost you tens of thousands to millions of dollars per hour and potentially bring unwanted attention from government and industry regulators, or your competitors.
That’s why we offer Dynamic Managed Recovery yet another layer of disaster assurance most providers are not willing to offer. With Dynamic Managed Recovery, DBSi takes care of recovering your data and getting you back up and running after a disaster, so you can focus on the other critical part of your business, your people and ensuring they are doing what needs to do be done to get your business running again.

The Real Cost
of Downtime
Failure of business critical services can cause a devastating loss of money. According to a 2001 Merrill Lynch/McKinsey report, each hour a business spends “down” can cost from $14,000 to $6.5 million, depending on the industry dollar amounts that are downright conservative by 2007 standards.
Once inflation and the increased prevalence of the Internet are factored in, the numbers could easily range from $25,000 to $10+ million per hour.
