Disaster Recovery Service Types:
We distinguish iNamics services for
disaster recovery and backup systems by the acronym DRS, which stands for "Disaster
Recover Service". We categorize three different types of iNamics built
DRS systems as described below:
Hot DRS: are fully equipped mirrors of existing
client data infrastructures. These DRS systems have all the essential IT infrastructures
needed to go live nearly instantaneously should a disaster occur. These systems
are typically synchronized continuously with the client's data center for little
to no loss of data during an event, so a business is, in theory, virtually never
interrupted. (Note: What dictates how identical the backup system is to the client's
data infrastructure is data volume, application activity and transfer rates over
the Internet. See Transfer Rate Estimates chart below.)
Warm DRS: have the cooling and electrical capacity, as well as pre-built
communications equipment for immediate connectivity. There is usually some backup
equipment ready for immediate use, such as servers and storage equipment. In some
cases, a warm DRS system will also houses a storage appliance for periodic replication
of data from the original data center. However, most warm DRS systems simply depend
on tape back-ups stored offsite. Most warm DRS systems from iNamics are guaranteed
to be up and running between 24 to 48 hours.
Cold DRS: are everything hot DRS systems are not. These minimal
facilities may accommodate the necessary floor space and cooling and electrical
equipment necessary to build out a new data center should a catastrophe occur, and
that is about it. The only actual IT equipment kept in a cold DRS system is to accommodate
data storage, with measures taken for quick duplication or recovery.

Transfer
Rate Estimates
(Internet
reduces by at least 20%):
- 1.536 Mbps /8 = 192KBps
- 192 KBps * 60 seconds/minute = 11.52 MB/minute
- 11.52 MBps * 60 minutes/hour = 691.2 MB/hour
- 691.2 MB/hour * 24 hours/day = 16.589 GB/day
- 16.589 GB/day * 30 days/month = 497.67 GB/month
