Disaster
Recovery Service Types:
We distinguish
iNamics services for disaster recovery and backup systems by the
acronym DRS, which stands for "Disaster Recover Service". We
categorize three different types of iNamics built DRS systems as
described below:
Hot DRS:
are fully equipped mirrors of existing client data
infrastructures. These DRS systems have all the essential IT
infrastructures needed to go live nearly instantaneously should
a disaster occur. These systems are typically synchronized
continuously with the client's data center for little to no loss
of data during an event, so a business is, in theory, virtually
never interrupted. (Note: What dictates how identical the backup
system is to the client's data infrastructure is data volume,
application activity and transfer rates over the Internet. See
Transfer Rate Estimates chart below.)
Warm DRS: have the cooling and electrical
capacity, as well as pre-built communications equipment for
immediate connectivity. There is usually some backup equipment
ready for immediate use, such as servers and storage equipment.
In some cases, a warm DRS system will also houses a storage
appliance for periodic replication of data from the original
data center. However, most warm DRS systems simply depend on
tape back-ups stored offsite. Most warm DRS systems from iNamics
are guaranteed to be up and running between 24 to 48 hours.
Cold
DRS:
are everything hot DRS systems are not. These minimal facilities
may accommodate the necessary floor space and cooling and
electrical equipment necessary to build out a new data center
should a catastrophe occur, and that is about it. The only
actual IT equipment kept in a cold DRS system is to accommodate
data storage, with measures taken for quick duplication or
recovery. |

Transfer Rate
Estimates
(Internet reduces
by at least 20%):
-
1.536 Mbps /8 = 192KBps
-
192 KBps * 60 seconds/minute = 11.52 MB/minute
-
11.52 MBps * 60 minutes/hour = 691.2 MB/hour
-
691.2 MB/hour * 24 hours/day = 16.589 GB/day
-
16.589 GB/day * 30 days/month = 497.67 GB/month
