Business Continuity planning and preparation is a Board level responsibility for all organisations. A failure to prepare can mean business failure if a “Disaster” should occur. Clearstream offers a range of services that can enable your organisation to operate through a disaster situation, and to recover afterwards, giving peace of mind, and adding value.
 

• Server Hosting – A common DR situation involves loss of IT systems. This can occur due to power loss, communications link problems, or more general lack of access to premises due to flooding, gas leaks, fire, crime etc. When these incidents occur on a site hosting IT services, more than the single site may be affected. A growing trend is to locate critical IT services away from office premises into purpose built Hosting Centres which offer physical security, and continuity of power and network connections. Clearstream offer a choice of Hosting facilities depending on budget and power requirements to give you peace of mind and ensure that your IT systems are available should a “disaster” occur.

• Remote working – Many employees are able to work from home, and in a “disaster situation” this is a convenient and highly cost effective solution. To achieve this effectively, the IT system must be available securely from home internet connections. Clearstream has a range of remote working access and security solutions to allow this to be deployed and managed either on a full-time basis or just when needed.
