Why Rely On Our Payroll Disaster Recovery Services?

While every business is unique, implementing a robust payroll disaster recovery solution can effectively bridge gaps and streamline your operational workflows. Ensure your business processes remain resilient during challenging times and safeguarding against unforeseen disruptions.

List of items that we duplicate for disaster recovery:

1. Dual data centres & ISP availability

At i3Group, we ensure robust disaster recovery with dual data centres and ISP availability. This setup provides seamless data redundancy and continuous internet connectivity, significantly reducing the risk of downtime. In the event of a failure at one site, the other can immediately take over, ensuring uninterrupted payroll operations.

Our dual data centres are geographically dispersed to further mitigate risks associated with localised incidents. This dual setup not only enhances data security but also ensures that your business can continue operating smoothly, regardless of unexpected disruptions, providing peace of mind and operational continuity.

2. Dual automatic changeover firewalls

Our disaster recovery strategy includes dual automatic changeover firewalls, ensuring your payroll systems remain secure and operational. These firewalls automatically switch to a backup in case of a failure, maintaining continuous protection against cyber threats and unauthorised access. This redundancy is crucial for safeguarding sensitive payroll data and preventing potential breaches.

By implementing dual firewalls, i3Group provides an added layer of security, ensuring that your payroll operations are not only resilient to hardware failures but also protected from external threats. This proactive approach to security enhances the reliability and integrity of your payroll processes.

3. Dual iSeries hardware of similar capacity

i3Group utilises dual iSeries hardware of similar capacity to ensure that your payroll operations remain uninterrupted. This means that if one system experiences a failure, the other can immediately take over without any loss of performance or data.

By having two identical systems in place, we provide a seamless transition and continuous operation, which is vital for maintaining the accuracy and timeliness of payroll disbursements. This redundancy ensures that your payroll processes are always up and running, providing you with the reliability and peace of mind that your business operations will not be disrupted by hardware issues.

4. Backup power availability at both sites

To further safeguard your payroll operations, i3Group ensures backup power availability at both our data centres. This means that in the event of a power outage, our systems will continue to function without interruption.

Our backup power solutions include uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and generators, ensuring that all critical systems remain operational during power disruptions. This commitment to power redundancy ensures that your payroll processes are not affected by external power failures, maintaining continuous service and preventing any delays in payroll disbursements.

5. DDOS attack safety measures

At i3Group, we implement comprehensive DDOS attack safety measures as part of our disaster recovery strategy. Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks can cripple online services, but our advanced mitigation techniques ensure that your payroll systems remain accessible and secure.

By proactively defending against DDOS attacks, we protect your business from downtime and potential financial losses. Our robust security infrastructure guarantees that your payroll operations are safeguarded against malicious disruptions, providing you with confidence in our ability to maintain continuous and secure service.

6. Regular backup including offsite storage

Regular backup, including offsite storage, is a cornerstone of i3Group’s disaster recovery plan. We perform frequent backups of all payroll data, ensuring that the most recent information is always available for recovery. Offsite storage provides an additional layer of security, protecting your data from localised incidents such as fires or natural disasters.

In the event of data loss or corruption, we can quickly restore your payroll systems to their latest state, minimising downtime and ensuring continuity.
