OpSource, the California based software-as-a-service (SaaS (News - Alert)) and web applications provider, has enhanced its web-operations solution - OpSource On-Demand - by adding a new feature OpSource Multisite to its integrated business continuity application, OpSource Business Continuity.

 

OpSource Business Continuity provides customers with off-site data backup and recovery support through its existing components – OpSource Disaster Recovery and OpSource Storage.

 

Richard Jones, director of IT for Satuit Technologies said, “We have established a strong focus and long track record of success in the investment and energy industries since 1994. Given the nature of the industries we serve, we want to take an aggressive approach to ensure we are well equipped to manage any IT interruptions and restore normal operations quickly and securely. OpSource impressed us with its robust OpSource Disaster Recovery service that reduces risk, cost and complexity more effectively than other disaster recovery solutions.”

 

However, data recovery is just one step in the process of business continuity. To ensure on-demand businesses remain functional through any interruption in services, business application continuity is required. OpSource Multisite has been implemented with this requirement in mind.

 

The application has been specifically designed to mitigate the impact of regional service interruptions on overall business function through the use of multiple data points worldwide. Its built-in redundancy allows faster recovery time and multiple production environments support regional disruptions effectively. It also provides the additional benefit of secondary sites for staging and application development.

 

OpSource CEO Treb Ryan said, “Users demand uninterrupted service and SaaS companies have to deliver it. To meet that need, we have added a full business continuity solution to OpSource On-Demand, our award winning Web operations solution. And we’ve taken business continuity one step further to add application continuity. For the enterprise world that SaaS companies want to sell into, it’s not enough to know their data is secure and recoverable; they also need to know that the applications they are using to run their businesses will be available whenever needed. OpSource Multisite provides that assurance and it will help SaaS companies take that next important step into the enterprise market.”
