Michigan Disaster Recovery: Our Unique Advantage
Whether your company needs a data center partner for production applications or as a disaster recovery service, Online Tech offers the ideal solution. Our two Michigan data centers are uniquely situated 53 miles apart, directly connected with Gigabit fiber, and located on two separate power grids.
These characteristics create an ideal solution for both production and disaster recovery applications. Your production application can be located in one of our data centers with your data protected offsite through our remote backup services. And as your business demands faster recovery time, your disaster recovery solution can grow with Online Tech, by adding warm site or hot site disaster recovery to our second data center and replicating your data across our dedicated fiber network. These arrangements provide a future-proof solution for managing your entire IT infrastructure.
Online Tech also provides an ideal disaster recovery solution for companies that operate their own data center but need a secondary data center site for disaster recovery. We offer a variety of interconnection options between your site and our disaster recovery data center to make it easy to replicate data between the sites. Data can be housed in our storage infrastructure or replicated to colocated servers or managed servers hosted at our data centers.

Why is Disaster Recovery Planning so Important?
As companies become more dependent on their data and computing infrastructure to run their business, disaster recovery is becoming a more pressing issue for business survival. A recent Gartner Group study highlights this fact: 40 percent of businesses that lose their data in a disaster go out of business within 5 years.
Today’s organizations are quickly coming to grips with the very real risks that the failure of their IT systems and loss of data pose to the viability of their business. The risks not only include the failure to comply with mandatory regulations but also the interdependency and reliance of systems and their potential impact on the business operations. Organizations of all sizes are moving to identify their risk exposure in terms of their IT inter-dependencies and establish clear policies and procedures to eliminate or minimize the impact that IT systems failure can have both operationally and financially.
