Disaster Recovery

Overview	Disaster recovery and business continuity are an essential part of any business operation. We maintain formal recovery procedures that provide for the timely restoration of administrative computing services in the event of a disaster. These tests are conducted bi-annually with a commercial disaster recovery provider. We recommend that departments develop their own disaster recovery/business continuity plans, and we can assist you in this process.
