DEC Ltd is capitalising on its March fire at Basingstoke, saying it was a one-off demo of the necessity for its newly announced Business Protection Services – a disaster recovery and contingency planning scheme that DEC has been running in the US for eight years: the Restart part of the scheme provides subscribers with a Recovery Centre where natural disaster-struck companies can resume critical operations whilst the damage is repaired; but DEC’s Nigel Dowler says the unique part of the service is the Recovery-All scheme, a long-term insurance plan covering the repair/replacement of damaged equipment, including non-DEC systems.
