Disaster recovery and business continuity planning are vital to any modern organisation. Creating such plans is a difficult and fairly involved process. However, the most important aspect is to recognise the inherent risks in an organisation’s business processes and systems, and understand the impact a disaster would have.
Redmap, though not purely a disaster recovery solution, provides a very effective set of tools to assist businesses to plan and implement disaster recovery strategies for both their email systems and electronic documents, including digitized paper records.
Redmap’s email archiving and retention management system forms the backup and archiving solution for an organisation’s mail server. Every email that is sent and received by the mail server is stored for later recovery. In the event of a disaster affecting the mail server, the Redmap email archive is available to retrieve historical archived emails while the mail server is being recovered. This can be made accessible through a simple and secure search screen in a web browser.
In the event of smaller disasters, such as the Managing Director losing his notebook, all emails can be recovered by the IT staff executing a single search for the required files and simply re-delivering them to his mail box.
In fact, there are many features built into the Redmap solution that enable an organisation to protect itself against any loss of business data, critical or otherwise. Redmap’s repository of information can be integrated with the business process, not only to streamline it but to provide an audit trail of all the documentation, including emails, that is generated by any transaction. This repository can be synchronously updated in two or more locations.
