Disaster planning must encompass disasters of all types and sizes: fires, floods, fraud, ransomware, cyber-attacks, power or IT system failure, human error, acts of terror, and other unthinkable scenarios.
While the type of disaster varies, the impact is typical: data and operational downtime that is truly disastrous.
The devastating effect of downtime caused by disaster include irreparable damage to data, reputation, customer relationships, income, and business vitality.
The best offense is a good defense; you must protect your business by understanding your vulnerabilities, safeguarding against the risks, and preparing for the worst possible business disruption with a plan for business continuity and disaster recovery that will shield your data, protect your business, and keep your systems available and reliable no matter what happens.
For small business owners, formulating a backup and disaster recovery plan is one of those all-important tasks that often gets put on the back burner for any number of reasons. However, the following shocking statistics should make business owners pause and rethink the importance of having an effective backup and disaster recovery plan in place.
The Issues:
A holistic, integrated disaster recovery plan that is reliable, simple, and quick. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offers a disaster recovery plan that is visible, scalable, and affordable.
Business-critical data, systems, desktops, servers, and the entire infrastructure must be protected and recoverable.
With secure local virtualization solutions, if disaster strikes, your entire infrastructure (physical or virtual) is virtualized instantly, empowering you to continue your business operations without losing any data, incurring any damage, or experiencing any downtime.
It’s not always possible to prevent a cyberattack, natural disaster, technical malfunction or human error, but you can protect your business from costly data loss by investing in a solution that aids in data backup and disaster recovery.
