Ensuring data remains available when issues occur provides organizations with the ability to maintain productivity throughout the business, even when disaster strikes.*   ### Minimize Cost & Increase Business Continuity Before cloud computing came along, organizations that wanted to maintain high availability had to pay for an extra data center *and* maintain a copy of the production environments (and sometimes non-prod as well). This can be a huge expense for something that, in theory, shouldn’t be used too often; except for periodically testing the failover functionality. By utilizing cloud infrastructure to ensure high availability of data services, organizations can avoid excessive data center expenses.   ### Cloud Selection Where your data resides is equally as important to what it contains. It can be overwhelming to determine which cloud (Public, Private, Hybrid, or Multi) is the best for each data workload. When making a selection, organizations need to analyze their applications, performance goals, replication strategy, backup requirements, as well as migration readiness to determine the best configuration for each need. It is also important to design a flexible solution that can be adapted as often as your needs do. Optimization is the end goal.   ### Maintaining data across the hybrid environment. Our Data Management team can design solutions that keep data in sync between on-premises and cloud platforms. Automatic replication, scheduled refreshes, and periodic restores are all possible to keep data available for rapid use in the event of data center failure.   ### THE BOTTOM LINE Ascend Technologies can help your organization maintain availability in today’s high-demand world. This can keep an organization productive, even during major data center issues. Using the resilient nature of cloud computing, high availability can be maintained at a fraction of the cost of a duplicate on-premises data center. Let Ascend help you maintain uptime, and keep your customers happy, with a hybrid solution today! *Written by Andy Maser, Data Architect* ### Table of Contents #### Get Insights Sent to Your Inbox ## Related Articles ![Making the Financial Case to Switch Managed IT Providers: What Your CFO Needs to See](https://blog.teamascend.com/hubfs/professionals-collaborate-on-computer-code-in-offi-2026-01-09-12-14-09-utc.jpg) Data Management, Cloud & Infrastructure ### [Making the Financial Case to Switch Managed IT Providers: What Your CFO Needs to See](https://blog.teamascend.com/blog/making-the-financial-case-to-switch-managed-it-providers-ascend-technologies) September 10, 2026 [Read Now ![arrow](https://blog.teamascend.com/hubfs/SVG%20(2).svg)](https://blog.teamascend.com/blog/making-the-financial-case-to-switch-managed-it-providers-ascend-technologies) ![What to Require From Your Outgoing and Incoming Managed Provider Before You Switch](https://blog.teamascend.com/hubfs/team-discussing-server-room-data-on-laptop-2026-01-09-10-34-52-utc.jpg) Data Management, Cloud & Infrastructure ### [What to Require From Your Outgoing and Incoming Managed Provider Before You Switch](https://blog.teamascend.com/blog/what-to-require-before-switching-msp) September 03, 2026 [Read Now ![arrow](https://blog.teamascend.com/hubfs/SVG%20(2).svg)](https://blog.teamascend.com/blog/what-to-require-before-switching-msp) ![Why Small IT Teams Stay With a Managed Provider They Have Outgrown](https://blog.teamascend.com/hubfs/technicians-smiling-while-discussing-server-room-d-2026-01-09-11-44-59-utc.jpg) Data Management, Cloud & Infrastructure ### [Why Small IT Teams Stay With a Managed Provider They Have Outgrown](https://blog.teamascend.com/blog/cost-of-staying-with-wrong-msp) August 27, 2026 [Read Now ![arrow](https://blog.teamascend.com/hubfs/SVG%20(2).svg)](https://blog.teamascend.com/blog/cost-of-staying-with-wrong-msp) [![Ascend Technologies](https://blog.teamascend.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logos/Ascend/Ascend%20Technologies_Horizontal_FullColor_White.png?width=200&height=107&name=Ascend%20Technologies_Horizontal_FullColor_White.png)](https://teamascend.com/) Contact 833-639-2285 - - - - - - Company - [About](https://teamascend.com/about/) - [Services](https://teamascend.com/services/) - [Testimonials](https://teamascend.com/client-success-stories/) - [Partner With Us](https://teamascend.com/about/partner-with-us/) - [Resources](https://teamascend.com/resources/) - [Contact](https://teamascend.com/contact/) - [Careers](https://teamascend.com/careers/) - Services - [IT Consulting](https://teamascend.com/services/strategic-consulting/) - [Cybersecurity](https://teamascend.com/services/cybersecurity/) - [IT Infrastructure](https://teamascend.com/services/infrastructure/) - [Cloud](https://teamascend.com/services/cloud-computing/) - [24/7 Support Desk](https://teamascend.com/services/infrastructure/support-desk/) - [Microsoft Services](https://teamascend.com/services/microsoft-365/) - [Salesforce Services](https://teamascend.com/salesforce-services/) - [HubSpot Services](https://teamascend.com/services/hubspot-services/) - [App Development](https://teamascend.com/services/application-development/) ### Empowering Technology.
