Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning

DCANet's disaster recovery and business continuity planning services allow your Internet business services to remain online and accessible in the event of a problem or outage at your location.

With DCANet's advanced, distributed dynamic network, we can route Internet traffic normally destined to your web or other server to a secondary or backup server in the event of a circuit outage, server problem or other connectivity issue. The transition from the primary to secondary server is seamless and requires no activation on DCANet's or your part. Traffic normally routed to your location is automatically routed to the backup location or to a server colocated in DCANet's colocation facility.

DCANet can provide you with the backup server and can work with you to implement and test the continuity plan. There are many different methods to implement this service, but a general outline is illustrated below.

  • Traffic to and from your location, either via T1, T3 or some other circuit, normally takes the 'primary route' path
  • In the event of an outage, DCANet automatically routes your traffic to a remote site or to a colocated server
  • When service is restored to the primary site, traffic is automatically re-routed back
Advantages:
  • Provides uninterrupted, 24x7x365 backup for mission critical Internet services
  • Customer can manage the backup server and maintain services on it
  • Colocated server can also be used for off site backups
