Disaster Recovery

Network centralisation has created excellent efficiencies however the downside is exposure to site failure resulting in total network collapse. Disaster Recovery is now a major requirement of many broadcasters, in some cases mandatory due to insurance company rules.

Ruzz offers a totally unmanned DR solution which automatically mirrors the Primary Site, allows simple switch over to DR on-air and is locally or remotely operated. Extensive reporting is implemented with again remote access if desired. Material transfer to the DR site can be done automatically via WAN or manually by tape delivery. Equipment at the two sites can be totally different, hence significant cost savings are gained when establishing a DR site. Multi-channel DR is also easily managed and becomes lower in cost per channel the larger it is.
