Sungard AS is a leading provider and pioneer of Disaster Recovery Management with 40 years of proven success.
For too long, testing your disaster recovery plan has been a once or twice a year exercise, conducted by a siloed team performing a time-bound project. Little wonder that 7 out of 10 organizations fail to meet their RTO/RPO objectives when left to their own devices. Disaster recovery management shouldn't be a standalone work effort, but woven into the ongoing fabric of production IT availability - especially considering the highly changeable, infinitely complex hybrid IT environments of today.
Sungard AS can assume responsibility for your recovery under our Managed Recovery Program (MRP). Our experts will develop your recovery plans and procedures, maintain them to ensure synchronization with changes in your production environment, and completely manage the testing of IT application recovery plans.
Sungard AS Managed Recovery Program
Our Managed Recovery Program for automated disaster recovery includes a dedicated Technical Service Delivery Manager, assigned to your organization, recovery procedure development and documentation, recovery procedure execution, recovery management at time of test and time of disaster, post-testing reporting and review, and monthly and quarterly program status reporting.
Applications aren't simply restored – we restore them and set them up to perform as expected. We recover applications to specified points in time to ensure availability, and as part of the data recovery management process end-users are reconnected.
To balance cost with delivering contractually-guaranteed recovery time and recovery point objectives, we apply a tiered approach to application availability. We'll work with you to rank your applications and data according to business criticality, and design services that provide customized uptime by application, avoiding an expensive one-size-fits-all approach.
Some providers narrowly focus on data backup, replication and virtual machine recovery. Sungard AS combines decades of disaster recovery experience with a broad portfolio of recovery offerings, cloud and managed services, and consulting capabilities to deliver our promise of providing fully-recoverable production services, especially suited to the hybrid requirements of the modern enterprise.
Nearly 80% of unplanned downtime is caused by IT failures and power outages, but only 41% of business are testing their DR plan regularly*
