Disaster Recovery

It’s only a disaster if you haven’t got a plan...

When things go wrong it is the way you respond and how quickly, that will set your business apart.  However, spending cash reserves on something that will only be used sparingly, if at all, is painful for anyone. 

At Blue Chip we have extensive experience in consulting with customers on their Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity requirements and building a bespoke solution for their needs. To name a few, we implement the following solutions:

  • Blue Chip SecureVault - a solid, disaster recovery solution based on a Cloud-based backup with bare metal recovery, enabling full restoration of servers to replacement, disimilar hardware, or virtual hardware.
  • Veeam Backup and Replication - the industry leading software solution for the replication of virtual machines on a VMware or Hyper-V platform, over a network to standby virtual infrastructure.
  • Quest vRanger - a very well known, well established software solution for backing up and replicating virtual machines on a VMware platform.
  • VMware Site Recovery Manager - holding the VMware Disaster Recovery specialisation, Blue Chip are experts at implementing the rolls royce of DR and BC solutions for customers with VMware based server virtualisation, enabling a one click, scripted, full failover of all servers and services to your DR site. VMware SRM has also now been extended from its original functionality leveraging SAN based replication to provide services at a host level in a similar way to Veeam and Quest.
  • Microsoft Native Solutions - many Microsoft applications now have extensive high availability features built in that can be leverged in order to ensure continuity of the applications. The two best examples are Microsoft Exchange with the Database Availability Group, enabling multiple Exchange servers to replicate to each other and failover in realtime. Secondly, Microsoft SQL 2008 provides some great options such as mirroring and transaction log shipping to ensure no data or service loss in the event of a disaster or technical failure.

Disaster Recovery is a very complex area and you can have the confidence that you are in the right hands with Blue Chip, receiving first class advice and guidance.
