According to the Red Cross, up to 40% of American businesses fail following either a man-made or natural disaster. Considering all the potential catastrophes that could fall into the category of a disaster – a fire at your facility, theft of physical infrastructure, a natural disaster like a tornado or hurricane – chances are good your business will suffer some level of a disaster at some point in its existence. So, the question is: How long could your business survive without its data?
Traditional solutions can have costly drawbacks.
48% of respondents in a recent Carbonite survey indicated that they had suffered some form of small business data loss. With the corporate world moving more and more toward transmission of often sensitive, digital data, including mobile content, financial information, and even medical records, the need for reliable, secure data backup has become vital to every organization.
Traditional data backup methods, like tape storage, CDs, and flash drives, just aren’t viable solutions for most American businesses. Manual data backup requires time and manpower to stay on top of things.
Cloud storage is a different kind of disaster recovery solution.
Disaster recovery is one of the most logical areas for users to get their feet wet in the cloud, and leveraging the cloud for disaster recovery can be a cost-effective solution for organizations strapped for IT resources. With data storage in the cloud, your IT department can divert funds, infrastructure, and staffing from costly traditional storage to other projects your organization can benefit from. Lauren Whitehouse, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, said, “Cloud-based DR moves the discussion from data center space and hardware to one about cloud capacity planning.”
With a cloud-based disaster recovery plan in place, you can minimize downtime during a disaster, saving time and money and keeping clients happy in the event of an emergency.
