Our customers can incorporate our Disaster recovery service as a part of their monthly data backup plan or they can pay for it separately on 'As and when' it happens basis. Our disaster recovery includes full system or network restore to its original condition in addition to providing similar virtual environment prior to restoration in order to keep business continuity.

Our Data backup model consists of our Back-up Server, installed at rock-solid Amazon Storage Cloud, and Back-up Client that is configured at customers' premises. We use Kosnex DSB or Double take software or both in conjunction to provide the best possible solution for our customers depending upon their scenario and requirements.

Our online backup via Kosnex DSB provides a solution that is less time-consuming and easier to manage for most small and medium-sized businesses (further detail regarding Kosnex's DSX service is available separately).
Backing up critical data is a key component of any disaster recovery plan. In the event of a fire, a flood or some other unforeseen event, you'll need to know in advance, so that you can still access up to date information as soon as possible.

The Kosnex team of advisers helps clients to plan comprehensively for such possibilities.
We review your network architecture, the applications you are running, and your user activity to ensure that plans are in place to replicate what is required to keep your business running, should the worst happen.

What Does Kosnex Do?

Whether constructing a day to day backup policy, a business continuity plan or a business wide disaster recovery plan, we first analyse your business ahead of delivering a bespoke technical solution.

Typically, we analyse business activities, infrastructure, applications, and the key user activities that keep the business trading. In addition, as we draw up recommendations, we'll consider key commercial issues such as the criticality of any given activity, key compliance and regulatory issues and the overall cost of the required protection. In reality, few businesses can justify a plan which replicates every single aspect of their existing infrastructure.
So the skill in business recovery planning involves understanding the trade-off between the level of protection delivered and the absolute cost of the plan. Every client is different. Every industry is different.

Some, such as regulated fund-managers, need to ensure that they can regain their ability to carry on trading within strictly regulated timelines. Other businesses which have less stringent requirements can benefit from a mix of recovery solutions, delivered more cost effectively.

Put simply: our role is to help clients to arrive at an intelligent, commercial trade off between protection levels and cost.

How does Kosnex Deliver?

As we put together a data backup, disaster recover or business continuity solution, we call on a mixture of our experience.

A flavour of our approach is captured in the list of high-level questions below:

1. What is the nature of your data and systems?
2. How are they accessed, by whom, when and how often? In a disaster scenario how would these answers differ?
3. How quickly does your organisation need to recover operations? What is the RTO (Recovery Time Objective)?
4. How recent is the data you need to recover? What is the RPO (Recovery Point Objective)?
5. How would users actually work in a disaster scenario?

Answering these apparently simple questions rigorously demands thorough investigation. And once we've recommended a solution, you can rely on us to test it to ensure resilience going forward.
