nSync is our 'Disaster Recovery' service and can be supplied as a service on its own merits or as part of a wider managed support service, where we monitor and maintain the integrity of the solution so that customers know it can be relied upon.
'Disaster Recovery' can be a complicated topic and typically varies significantly from one customer to the next. For this reason, nSync is a variable service level agreement, enabling us to fine-tune our offering to meet your unique requirements.
nlightnIT work with each customer to understand and define the realistic recovery time and recovery point objectives for each database installation. Once your business targets are defined, we discuss the available options to find the best fit for your business.
Our solutions incorporate native database technology tools where available, augmented by in-house developed facilities. This enables our technical team to create the best solution for each customer.
