Disaster Recovery
Disaster recovery is one of the most important process after a crisis. If you don’t recover data in a timely manner then you not only stand to lose extremely important data but also stand to face financial losses. According to Gartner, “40% of all SMBs will go out of business if they cannot get to their data in the first 24 hours after a crisis.”
Basically, this quote sums up all that is to be said regarding disaster recovery.
Also, in these difficult financial times, you cannot afford to spend a big deal of money behind this process. According to reports, while disaster recovery budgets are higher in 2009, they are expected to remain flat over the next few years, requiring IT professionals to do more with the same or less.
Under such circumstances if you get an affordable disaster recovery solution that is as much speedy and effective as its light on pocket then you hit bingo!
“Organisations shouldn’t let disaster recovery testing cause significant downtime, especially when there are solutions available to address this,” reports Darren Thomson, senior technical director at Symantec.
