About the Facility
Power is provided, primarily, by mains and backed up by dual Generator and UPS systems. All desk positions and critical equipment are powered via UPS, thus ensuring no power interruption whatsoever. Fuel supplies for the generators is stored on site and allows for 6 weeks of continuous operation at full load.Gas: 6000 litres of LPG is stored on site for heating. This gives approx 6 weeks of continuous operation and is mainly used in winter months.
Water: DSM extracts water from a bore hole as it’s primary supply. Mains water serves as a backup only. Water is also taken from the roof and stored in external container for emergency use.
Connectivity: DSM has 3 land based fibre services from two providers. Primary circuit is an active – active service with auto failover. Secondary is an active manual backup. Services are also delivered over microwave.
DSM’s site incorporates an outside seating area and two lakes; the rural setting is peaceful and far away from the pollutants of city life but close enough not to be isolated; Shops, Hotels, Restaurants are a mere 15minute drive away. In summer months a 5 minute walk will take you to a local cafe and DSM often lights up a BBQ when weather permits.
Building a Complete Workplace Recovery Solutions Plan
A strong workplace recovery solutions plan covers more than just a spare desk to sit at. It needs to include the technology, connectivity and support your team relies on every day, so operations can continue with minimal disruption when the unexpected happens. DSM’s workplace recovery solutions are designed around your existing IT setup, not a generic template, so your team can carry on working in familiar systems from day one of an incident.
Every workplace recovery solutions package from DSM includes pre-configured desks, secure network access and full telephony, so staff can relocate and start working within hours rather than days. We test recovery plans regularly with our customers, because a workplace recovery solutions plan that has never been rehearsed is a risk in itself.
Business continuity rarely stops at desk space. Many of our workplace recovery solutions customers also rely on our managed IT support to keep systems running day-to-day, so the same team that supports you normally is the one that helps you recover. For independent guidance on building a resilient continuity plan, the Business Continuity Institute publishes useful good practice guidelines.
Whether you need recovery space for five people or fifty, our workplace recovery solutions scale to your organisation, with contracts that flex as your business changes.
