Backup Disaster Recovery Solutions for Smart Cities


Roughly 2.3 billion connected devices exist in smart cities like Tokyo, London, and New York, a whopping 42 percent increase from last year. Therefore, disaster recovery solutions are critical. For bolstering economic growth and enhancing the quality of life, companies must have a viable IT disaster recovery plan in place.

The Internet of Things (IoT) reduces energy consumption for things like water flow regulation and street light operation. However, top disaster recovery service providers predict this footprint will exceed 50 billion connected devices by 2020, creating a tremendous challenge. It is imperative that smart cities have an IT disaster recovery plan as protection against natural and man-made incidents that would make it difficult to use accurate data required to function optimally.

In addition to the risk of being on grids for outages, smart cities get targeted for cyber-attacks. To prevent multiple city services from shutting down from a single-entry point, an all-too-real possibility that would threaten the safety and health of the public, Cloud disaster recovery becomes vital.

Along with 162,000 square feet of colocation space at a dedicated Continuity Recovery site, Telehouse New York Teleport boasts ample offices to accommodate personnel should an adverse event occur.
