Backing up your servers is one of the most crucial things you can do to ensure stability and continuity throughout your business. Your servers are vulnerable to threats of fire, flood, theft, vandalism, over heating, power spikes, security breaches and human error.  The larger your company is the greater the risk. Data is a vital part of your business. The last thing you want is to invest thousands of dollars, if not more in servers, but have no back up plan in case of failure. The best protection is sending this crucial information off site to a secured facility where there is NO risk of losing that vital information.

Here is a list of questions you want to ask to make sure the information on your servers is protected:

-Do I have multiple levels of server redundancy, to protect against a server crash?

-Does my business have adequate cooling to prevent the servers from over heating?

-Do I have the correct security measures in place to prevent my information from being lost or stolen?

-Is my building location isolated from natural disasters?

-Are my servers protected from fire or water damage?

-Do I have the proper power conditioners and filters in place to prevent against a power spike?

-How old or up to date are my servers? What is their risk of failure?

It only takes one incident for all of your information to be destroyed.

According to The Contingency Planning Research & Strategic Research Corporation:

43% of U.S. companies that experience disasters never re-open, and another 29% will close within 2 years.

Most companies are re-active based companies vs. pro-active based.  What type of company is yours?  Start protecting your data today!
