Data Protection
In order to be in business, you need to stay in business. Sounds simple enough, but the truth of the matter is
that too many small businesses consider serious
IT business continuity (and its cousin, disaster recovery) a luxury that only large organizations can afford.
In one survey of small business owners and executives conducted on behalf of the Department of Homeland
Security, 91 percent of respondents stated that they believe it is
"very" or "somewhat" important for businesses to take steps to prepare for a catastrophic disaster, such as
an earthquake, fire or terrorist attack. However, only 38 percent said their business had an emergency
plan in place in the event of a disaster.
It is an attitude that is not only dangerous, but counterproductive. There are technologies and business
practices today that not only make business continuity affordable, but they can actually improve the
level of service that many small businesses provide to their customers and clients.
Employee error, theft, viruses, fire, and system failures are often the reason for significant data loss. Is your data protected? Avoid a Richter 8 size problem.
- 24/7 monitored and managed Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) with near-instant failover local servers. This is turn-key Enterprise software for small businesses.
- BCDR and Offsite Remote Storage - Highly redundant storage with complete server(s) replication stored at primary and secondary remote data centers on Storage Area Networks.
- Business Continuity / Recovery after a Catastrophe: If a disaster results in the loss of the entire office including the server(s) and backed up data, how soon do you need access to your complete set of business information - 48 hours, 24 hours, or immediately? You decide.
