Data Protection & Recovery
Why is data protection important?
Data is the backbone of every organization and loss of data is inevitable. Regardless of the business you are in, data is required to keep it operational. If you consider that data volumes are increasing by 80 percent a year (according to IDC, March 2006), it is clear that it must be protected against a variety of risks. It is no longer only large enterprises that require sophisticated data protection strategies. Small and medium-sized businesses have increasingly tough demands as well.
- What would happen if the data on your systems was wiped out by a power surge or system failure?
- What if a fire or flood destroyed your electronic or paper-based records?
- How much data would you be able to recover?
- Would you know which customers to invoice and how much to charge?
- Could you pay your bills?
- Could your business continue to operate?
Did you know that fifty percent of companies that lose their data go out of business immediately, and ninety percent don't survive more than two years?
Given the importance of information and the potential high cost associated with data loss, reliable data protection is no longer an option—it’s an obligation. Whether you need to capture, distribute and protect data automatically, or provide fast and affordable backup and recovery, data protection must be performed in a systematic and verifiable manner.
To avoid this high level of risk, it’s vital that you choose a data protection solution that fits your needs and solves your current issues. If you are having trouble determining this, help is one phone call away.
