AVAILABILITY SERVICES MAKE A RECOVERY, NOT WAR If getting the resources you need is a constant battle, we can help. Having completed more than 100,000 recovery tests, we found that some businesses just have a plan, while others continuously test and sync it with the rest of the business. But time and again, resource is the main issue. It’s impossible to test, or recover, without technical support from colleagues outside your department, but they will already be battling with their own priorities. At SunGard Availability Services, we can manage your entire testing and recovery environment, including the process, tasks and the recovery itself. Our experts work side-by-side with you to review and develop your plans and define procedures. Together, we make sure the plan is in line with your production environment from design to testing to change control. And we are ready to perform the test and carry out the recovery for your business 24/7/365. SunGard’s Managed Recovery Programme can help you focus your energy on building your business, rather than fighting over how to get up and running following a disaster.
