Data, back it up!
How often do you back up your company data? Are you one of the nearly one million businesses that don’t?
Data loss can happen to any size or type of business and can cause major problems and have serious consequences including extended and significant downtime and potential financial loss. It most commonly occurs for one of two reasons: human error or hardware failure. The Cloud is one of the most effective ways to manage your records and protect your IT network in the event of a catastrophe.
One of the most effective forms of improving the security of your data is to move it to The Cloud and have a cloud disaster recovery backup solution. The Cloud Disaster Recovery is a reliable data storage and infrastructure system to protect your IT from shutting down should there be a hard drive failure or natural disaster. This system is key to restoring your lost data quickly and protect your business from productivity inconveniences and costs.
How can your business benefit from the cloud disaster recovery:

You can easily increase access to the number of resources that you backup in The Cloud. As your IT system grows so does your disaster recovery solution – saving the need to up-scale an in-house server.
Simple set up
The Cloud set up is fairly easy, especially compared to setting up your own in-house infrastructure system.
Location..? Not a problem.
