System downtime can have a serious impact on your business. IT outages - planned and unplanned - dent your company's image, productivity, stifle sales, and interfere with customer service. And in today's global economy, even a small amount of downtime can impose a major financial burden.

Business continuity services from Consensus are designed to minimise disruptions that affect your company's IT systems, data, and applications, ensuring availability across multiple technologies and architectures. Key service areas include:

	Analysis and design tailored to customer requirements
	Full infrastructure considerations across servers, storage and networks
	Supply of supplementary hardware
	Supply of required software

Hardware clustering solutions are designed to protect business-critical enterprise applications, allowing backup servers to take over instantly and seamlessly if the primary system fails. A distributed storage architecture can keep your company's data accessible in spite of a disruption or failure, allowing critical applications to function without missing a beat. A high-availability system is only as reliable as the network that supports it. A robust, carefully designed network will keep your company's vital systems available without sacrificing performance or security.

Our business continuity solutions are tailored to meet our customers' individual requirements. These services can include custom analysis and design services, infrastructure assessment, software and hardware provisioning, and rigorous testing and implementation procedures.
