Plan B stories - Page 2

Plan B, often personified through the insightful columns of Ian Forrester, has emerged as a vanguard in the realms of business continuity, cloud backup services, and data recovery. Rooted deeply in Wellington, New Zealand, their expertise has shaped the development of state-of-the-art data centres, ensuring businesses can withstand and recover from the digital age's most daunting challenges. Their narrative is one of relentless pursuit of recovery capability improvement, debunking myths surrounding business continuity, and expanding their services through strategic acquisitions.

From opening Wellington's newest data centre to acquiring pioneering companies like Iconz, Plan B's journey reflects a progressive evolution in tackling modern IT conundrums. Their collaboration with Panasonic to launch a cloud archive-as-a-service and the push towards expanding data centre hosting capabilities attest to their forward-thinking approach. This resilience and adaptability not only underscore the criticality of robust disaster recovery planning but also emphasise the significance of choosing the right cloud provider for data backup amidst an unpredictable environment, as underscored by recent seismic activities.
