What Are Disaster Recovery Solutions?

Every corporation and every business rely on its technology to function. This includes their documents, files, servers, and applications Should sensitive data be lost, or a critical system suddenly go offline, it will likely have a major negative impact on the organization. These disruptions generally lead to financial losses (loss of clients and employee productivity) reputation loss, and even liability.

It is an old axiom, but very true – those who fail to plan, plan to fail. In business, a disaster can take many forms, from a fire, flood, or natural disaster such as a hurricane or tornado that causes destruction at the premises, to a network hack by cybercriminals. Each event can impact business flow and productivity. That is why it is necessary, no imperative to know more about how disaster recovery solutions (DRS) will allow you to maintain business continuity no matter what situation presents itself. A solid DRS helps to restore data and critical business systems in the event of any software or hardware failure, accidental data loss, ransomware attack, in short, any unexpected event.

Another real problem is time. Corporate executives and in-house IT departments are focused on their core strengths. However, it has become an unfortunate truth in corporate America that data disasters pose very real threats. Worse, the attitude that ‘it only happens to Fortune 500 firms’ is false. It is the small to mid-sized enterprises that cybercriminals target. Yet, while most system administrators focus on data backup, little attention is given to data recovery testing. That is why, for business continuity and peace of mind, comprehensive disaster recovery solutions are vital for any business faced with a potential for data disaster. It is also true that selecting the right partner to provide this important service can have a profound impact on a business’ recovery efforts.

With so much riding on your data environment, businesses can’t afford to have a problem with their backups. Discovering the backup protocol is flawed will likely result in lost data, corrupted data or, worse yet, a catastrophic loss. Implementing a comprehensive disaster recovery solution is vital for today’s data-driven business environments. Ongoing testing and evaluation are necessary for effective disaster recovery and should be your business’ Number One priority. Perhaps you are not aware, but almost 95% of businesses that suffer a major data disaster are out of business within a year. That is a sobering statistic.
