A recovery plan, in an IT context, is the planning and execution of an end-to-end data and application recovery strategy or business continuity management to build a failover system in case the primary IT environment goes down or is not accessible.
With today’s rapidly changing technological and economic landscape, Indian businesses – in common with their global peers – are looking to managed services to deliver the accelerated and guaranteed SLA-driven recovery timeframes that their IT operations require.
The RaaS offering of SunGard Availability Services builds upon the company’s launch within India in 2011, since when it has been serving its global customers’India operations. The newly launched RaaS will offerIndia’s medium and large enterprises SLA-driven recovery timeframes for their mission critical IT operations, on an affordable pay-as-you-go service model.
Currently, half of Fortune 500 companies and over two thirds of Fortune 100 companies engage with SunGard to keep their mission critical people, process and technology environments up and running at all times, says SunGuard.
