What are the challenges in ensuring performance and availability?
Digital transformation has changed the way in which businesses that depend on the availability and operation of computer systems operate. For that reason, higher levels of availability are increasingly in demand (in many cases up to 99.95% or more) and IT managers are reviewing their strategies to ensure business continuity.
The point is that the investment to implement solutions that allow zero downtime and data loss for all your IT systems is growing depending on the percentage of availability required. This clashes with the pressure to maintain and reduce IT costs and investments.
In addition, it is becoming increasingly difficult to monitor in real-time all services and systems to ensure the security of the growing volume of data in the face of increasing cyber attacks.
Finally, there is the issue of maintaining high availability of the underlying infrastructure. For example, if there is a failure in the hardware, the waiting times would include: arrival of spare parts, installation and configuration. This can greatly delay system recovery. It is therefore important that you have a highly available infrastructure to meet SLAs.

Advantages of having an external supplier that guarantees high availability
Due to the complexity of maintaining acceptable levels of availability by IT departments, it is much simpler, more cost-effective and safer to delegate these tasks to specialised external companies like Arsys. We can optimise and monitor your IT infrastructure services to ensure that they are functioning properly, without interruption and at a reasonable cost. So you can:
- Adapt capacity and availability levels at any time to your business needs, without over costs and without CAPEX investments.
- Reduce your infrastructure operation and maintenance costs.
- Improve availability levels through early detection of unavailability or compromised capabilities in critical infrastructure, even before they affect the user.
- Reduce incident resolution times for potential attacks and anticipate them thanks to proactive trend analysis based on accumulated experience and accurate historical data.

This is how we have helped other clients
For health insurers the permanent availability of their systems is essential. A company from this sector needed us for a complete pay-per-use DRP, including periodic tests with the possibility of resizing the backup site in case of contingency, minimum RTO and 24/7 monitoring. And, of course, with the appropriate SLA.
