Business continuity
Business continuity: keep working whatever happens
Data in Andorra, continuity in Spain: primary infrastructure in the Principality and a second location to recover the service from.
Data in Andorra. Continuity in Spain.
Continuity is not a product, it is a business decision: how long each activity can be down and how much data can be lost. The architecture follows from that, not the other way round.
Situations we find
- All infrastructure in a single room, inside the office itself.
- A power or line failure leaves the company with no access to its systems.
- No written procedure: recovery depends on somebody's memory.
- A full restore from backup has never been tested.
What it includes
Impact analysis
Identifying critical processes, maximum tolerable downtime and acceptable data loss.
Two-location architecture
Primary environment at the Andorra Telecom Data Center (La Massana) and a second location at Seintec's own data centre in Spain.
Documented procedures
Start-up order, owners, contacts and communication during an incident.
Planned testing
Recovery drills with recorded results and the improvements that follow.
How we work
- 1Assessment: critical processes, dependencies and risk scenarios.
- 2Design: recovery objectives, architecture and test plan.
- 3Deployment: replication, procedures and training for the people responsible.
- 4Support: periodic testing and plan updates whenever the infrastructure changes.
Frequently asked questions
- What does "data in Andorra, continuity in Spain" mean?
- That the primary environment is hosted at the Andorra Telecom Data Center in La Massana, and that Seintec operates a second data centre of its own in Spain acting as the backup and recovery location.
- Is it the same as having backups?
- No. Backups recover data; continuity defines how and how quickly the business runs again, on what infrastructure and following which procedure.
- Can it be applied in phases?
- Yes. The usual approach protects first the systems that stop invoicing or customer service, then extends to the rest.
- How often is it tested?
- The frequency is agreed in the plan and every test is documented, including the actual times achieved.
Start with a simple question: if the main server does not boot tomorrow, how long would the company be down?
