Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is a declaration fee?
A. Once an incident occurs, a business "declares" the need to use the EdgeBCC facility. Upon the declaration of the incident, EdgeBCC staff prepares the facility for your needs and ensures that your staff has the tools that they need to work through the incident. The fee for declaration is 1x the company's monthly fee. The fee for usage is 1x the monthly fee per day.

Q. How can our company test our DR plan?
A. It is fully expected that your company will want to periodically test your BC/DR plan by running exercises with systems or staff. The EdgeBCC allows you 2 days/year for <20 DR Seats and 4 days/year for >20 seats. Additional days can be made available for 1x the company's monthly fee per day.

Q. What is the configuration of the Disaster Recovery workspace?
A. The disaster workspace is broken into over 300 individual workstations. Each work surface is 24" deep by 48" wide. 52" fabric covered panels help to deaden the ambient phone noise.
