Disaster Recovery

Threats to business critical systems are many and varied. Natural disasters like flooding and fire, along with people factors, such as disgruntled employees or human error that lets in a virus, make it essential to have a disaster recovery and business continuity plan.

vbt has been designing and implementing Network disaster recovery solutions for the SME sectors for the past 10 years.
