Centurion Disaster Recovery® - Proven protection against business interruptions
Symitar’s Centurion Disaster Recovery supports core and complementary solutions with production-proven disaster recovery services.
Centurion’s strategically located regional hot sites are fully equipped with the technology platforms and redundancies necessary to mirror the credit unions’ operational infrastructures. This duplication enables the recreation of the unique business environment of that individual credit union. Each hot site is staffed by industry and technical experts with proven working knowledge of Symitar’s software solutions, core and peripheral hardware platforms, and the operations of a credit union.
These flexible, multi-tiered services safeguard credit unions of all sizes against business interruptions. It minimizes the potential impact and the inherent risks by mirroring all key business activities, including information and item/image processing. These services also ensure compliance with the related regulatory requirements. This solution leverages a best-practices methodology based on more than 20 years of experience providing disaster recovery services. Centurion supports financial institutions exclusively and provides the value-added benefits of complex disaster recovery services developed and delivered by industry, technology, and security experts.
In the event of a disaster or business interruption, operations can be transitioned to a Centurion hot site until a credit union’s infrastructure, mission-critical transaction processing capabilities, and communications network can be restored. Well-trained disaster response teams, comprised of the credit union’s personnel with pre-assigned responsibilities and Centurion’s expert staff, are dispatched to the appropriate hot site during the recovery period.
Centurion can also dispatch mobile units to credit union sites as an alternative to temporarily relocating operations to a regional disaster recovery center. Yet another alternative is that Centurion can drop ship server equipment to the credit union’s location of choice.
Annually, with assistance from Centurion’s professional staff, each client credit union conducts rigorous testing and subsequent updating of its business recovery plan.
Centurion Disaster Recovery is another innovative risk management and protection solution that enables credit unions to proactively protect themselves and their members from business interruptions and the related financial losses, and to fully comply with the related regulatory requirements.
