Axcient disaster recovery services

Think of disaster recovery plans as your company?s insurance policy against the loss of data and services due to a disaster or hardware failure. Your company most likely has insurance plans for other aspects of operating the business, but why not one for IT data and services?

While it might sound like a complicated process, with the right tools it doesn?t have to be. The most effective plans place a copy of your critical data and applications onsite for a quick restore if there?s an IT issue, but also place a copy at an offsite location many miles away from the original data center (also known as ?in the cloud?) so if your primary site is inoperable, your data is still intact and accessible.

One of the lessons many companies learned from Hurricane Sandy is this data stored to an offsite location must be geographically dispersed. Many companies in New York thought they were safe because their data was stored offsite, but the offsite locations ended up being too close, and in the hurricane?s path as well.

According to a 2012 study (2012 Coleman Parkes Research, Ltd), every North American business loses an average of $159,331 per year due to IT downtime and data loss. In addition, the average SMB suffers 10 hours of downtime per year. The difference between just minutes of downtime and days can impact the bottom line by tens of thousands of dollars.

As for SMBs, a study by Applied Research in 2011 found that for SMB?s with fewer than 100 employees, a single day of downtime for a single server costs an average of $12,500.
