SERVER MANAGEMENT: Data Recovery Services
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have taught many businesses one thing: prepare for the unexpected. Companies must take steps to make their businesses less dependent on a single office or data infrastructure. Consider implementing technologies that can quickly duplicate company data at a remote location. Gartner Research predicts that two out of five enterprises that experience a disaster the magnitude of the World Trade Center attack will go out of business within five years. Therefore, it is more important than ever to either build a redundant IT facility, or select an IT outsourcing service provider for disaster recovery.
Traditional implementation of Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning are rather complex and extremely expensive. That is why many small to medium size companies do not have a Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plan in place. Fortunately, new Internet technologies are reducing the cost and complexity of implementing the Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans.
