Transam Disaster Recovery Assessment Package

Transam and Scapa Technologies

What will happen when disaster strikes?

None of us likes to have to think about the impact of significant adverse events on our day-to-day lives, but in business it’s an essential task. The consequences of disasters, whether natural or man made can have a catastrophic effect on businesses either because staff are unable or advised not to go into the office, or because essential business systems become unavailable.

In the legal profession, access to client and matter information and to core systems such as e-mail, document & case management is a fundamental requirement in providing continuous services to a practice’s clients. If access is restricted or removed, for whatever reason, the loss in billings alone could have a severe, if not a terminal effect on the viability of the business and serious consequences to its clients.

The concept of Disaster Recovery (DR) Systems is not a new one but often only limited steps have been taken to either implement them or even consider what could be implemented.

One of the primary reasons behind this reluctance to act relates to the very uncertainty of the threat and the amount of work required and difficulties in assessing to assess possible alternative DR strategies.

Thin Client Technologies using platforms such as Citrix and Microsoft Terminal Services provide an ideal way of giving quick and easy remote access to existing systems, without having to re-implement software applications. Existing systems can be replicated at a DR site and the disruption on the business minimised.

But how do you know what systems configuration provides the most effective DR solution for your company? Which configuration provides the most effective performance to users at an acceptable cost? Could some applications be delivered in a slightly different way? How many servers will you need?
