Australia’s Hosted Network Launches Desktop DR-as-a-Service

Hosted Network, a division of the Superior IT Group, have boosted their cloud economics repertoire with the Sydney-based company announcing it provides Desktop DR, enabling organisations to easily protect their business and ensure workforce continuity in the event of a disaster.

Desktop DR is a solution for organisations to protect their business against disaster with ease, ensuring worker productivity and continuity.

Hosted Network identified a gap in their cloud-hosting services by acknowledging that their partner’s end-users are often neglected from traditional DR schemes. They closed this margin with their comprehendible and affordable Desktop DR solution that promises end-users the ability to quickly resume productivity from any device, anywhere should a disaster impact their workforce.

Noel Allnutt, MD, Solisita and Hosted Network partner, was thrilled with this latest offerings, stating: “Solista specialises in providing customers with innovative, industry leading data management solutions to enhance business performance. DR and BC have traditionally been too hard, too complex and too expensive for customers to have a complete and reliable plan. Solista chose hosted network’s Desktop DR solutions as it eliminates the challenges and complexity of traditional methods.“

Desktop DR solution is an extension onto existing partner server offerings. It allows for all organisations to have a desktop DR plan at a mere fraction of the cost of standard physical desktop DR.

Ben Town, MD, Hosted Network, was thrilled to be adding Desktop DR as a partner service, stating: “No business is exempt from disaster, whether it be a natural disaster or manmade from bushfires through to severe storms, and at the individual business level, work disruption from these can cost thousands of dollars per employee per day in lost productivity and opportunities. With Desktop DR, businesses are able to add desktop reservation capacity for their tiered workforce with a mix and match of recovery SLAs of 6, 24, and 48 for as little as $5 per month, per desktop and with minimal exertion.“
