Solutions for Disaster Recovery that Protect Smart Cities

Based on a statement from Gartner, a technology research and advice firm, there are roughly 2.3 billion connected things smart cities such as New York, Tokyo, and London use. Compared to 2016, that number represents a 42 percent increase. Soon, smart cities will be the catalyst behind an economic boom and improved quality of life for people living in them.

As the backbone of smart cities, it is imperative that data centers and colocation sites have the right disaster recovery solutions in place. Not only will this ensure flawless connectivity and top data security but also public health and safety.

To streamline city services, smart cities rely on rich data in real time. Software, hardware, and geospatial analytics can improve on livability and municipal services. With enhanced sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT) can reduce the amount of energy consumed by street lights and preserve resources by regulating water flow.

Due to the location of many smart cities, as well as other potential risks, disaster recovery cloud services are vital. Disaster recovery providers protect power and communication caused by power outages, floods, and even cyber attacks. To continue reading and visit source click here.

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.
