Storm-Proofing Business Continuity with NOMAD™ Remote Access

In today’s climate, business continuity planning isn’t optional, it’s essential. Each year, hurricanes and natural disasters disrupt operations across the Gulf Coast, costing businesses days or even weeks of productivity. At GDS, we’ve developed a multi-layered hurricane readiness strategy centered around our proprietary remote access solution: NOMAD™.

Why Business Continuity Planning Must Include Remote Access

When a storm threatens your location, physical infrastructure may be inaccessible. Whether it’s an evacuation, power loss, or building damage, your staff must be able to continue working securely from anywhere. That’s where NOMAD™ comes in.

NOMAD™ is GDS’s fully managed, enterprise-grade remote access platform that enables encrypted, reliable connectivity to critical systems from virtually any location.

Our clients use NOMAD™ not just during storms, but year-round to support hybrid work, disaster recovery, and regional operations.

Key Benefits of NOMAD™ Remote Access for Business Continuity

Secure remote access is critical to disaster resilience. NOMAD™ delivers encrypted sessions protected by strict authentication protocols, ensuring sensitive data remains secure even offsite. Its rapid deployment model means you can onboard users quickly, without cumbersome VPN setup. Redundant connectivity ensures continuity even in the event of primary circuit failure, and seamless integration with cloud-hosted infrastructure allows businesses to scale quickly during emergencies.

Whether it’s an evacuation, power loss, or building damage, your staff must be able to continue working securely from anywhere. That’s where NOMAD™ comes in.

Beyond NOMAD™: The Full GDS Continuity Toolkit

NOMAD™ is just one piece of our hurricane preparedness ecosystem. GDS also delivers reliable data backups to cloud and offsite locations, secondary internet circuits that auto-failover when primary lines go down, endpoint protection for remote employees, and emergency communications playbooks to keep everyone informed and operational.

The result? A resilient business that continues operating when competitors go dark. 

A Real-World Example

During Hurricane Zeta, several clients activated NOMAD™ as evacuation orders rolled out. Staff shifted to home-based operations with zero disruption in service. Customer response times stayed on track. Revenue was preserved.

Business continuity isn’t just about surviving; it’s about maintaining your edge.
