| Overview : |
All businesses, large and small, run on information; more importantly, available information. When that information is lost or access is interrupted, the impact on a business can be critical and sometimes fatal. According to analysts at Gartner, 40% of businesses suffering a business interruption fail within 5 years.
Potentially fatal data loss for a business puts a priority on protecting and securing business information. Small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) are often at a disadvantage when trying to adequately protect valuable business information, as they typically lack the budgets and internal IT of large corporate enterprises. Gartner estimates that less than half of all mid-size businesses and only 25% of small businesses have disaster recovery plans in place.
Smaller businesses face the same fundamental backup and data protection concerns as large businesses: What is the most cost-effective method to reliably protect and recover business-critical information? For many small businesses, the problem is even more difficult because they do not have an IT staff to design, deploy and manage data storage backup and recovery systems. |
