Always-On Cloud Commerce Made Possible with Savtira's Near 100 Percent Uptime

No matter the size of your business, in today’s economic climate, having an IT infrastructure that includes cost-effective disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) solutions is a necessity. Cloud computing, in general, now offers that kind of affordable solution for small and midsize businesses (SMBs) as well as large enterprises to not only save on energy costs and space requirements, but to perform effective disaster recovery. In the area of e-commerce, this need has never been more necessary.

 Savtira, the premier Software-as-a-Service (SaaS (News - Alert)) ecommerce platform provider, offers its Cloud Commerce eStore clients access to its extensive broadcast and media network that includes comprehensive near-100 percent redundancy, scalability, performance and manageability.

DR in a virtualized or cloud-based environment provides a range of options for recovering data and performing rollbacks to earlier, damage-free iterations of primary data. On the other hand, BC comprises a more active, agile protection mechanism. It enables IT to recover files while simultaneously maintaining application processes with minimal downtime. Then, when disaster recovery is performed due to a malfunction or system failure, the process is generally transparent to users, who can continue to work without interruption, and shoppers, who can continue their purchasing.

According to Michael Avina, chief technology officer at Savtira, "Our clients do not have to worry about downtime at our data centers hurting their customers. All of our eStore clients are provided the same carrier class network environment with guaranteed backups regardless of where they are located and whether they are a massive corporation or a small-to-medium sized business." This means that Savtira clients can access features, such as network management center monitoring 24x7/365 through out-of-band network, point-to-point circuits to provide HA to mission-critical sites, Tier-1 and Tier-2 datacenters in key markets near population centers and ten gigabit Ethernet switching and routing.

Such system robustness and the dedicated infrastructures enable Savtira's network to scale bandwidth as needed to deliver eCommerce and media at the pre-contracted levels businesses require. Moreover, protecting business critical systems and data is crucial for providing companies with a competitive edge and Savtira accomplishes this.

Timothy Roberts, President and CEO of Savtira Corporation, stated, "All of our eStore clients are treated equally. Regardless of whether a client business is large or small, we provide the same enterprise-class service. Our Cloud Commerce platform protects all of our clients from data loss or downtime due to hardware malfunctions, such as disc failure in a data center. Bottom line: we take care of our clients and contractually guarantee this."
