Disaster Recovery Strategies: " No Recovery Strategy=No Data " ™

The importance of Disaster Recovery has been long recognized. Increased awareness of Business Continuity issues has been brought to the forefront with both the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and recent technology trends. Small and medium enterprises face some tough choices in planning for the future. At 4Service.com, we have been providing solutions to all kinds of data storage and recovery problems. Our expertise with hard drives, removable memory cards, tapes or Exchange Server Backup & Replication issues is well known in the industry.

What Is Disaster Recovery?

Disaster Recovery involves a series of actions or procedures that minimizes the adverse effects of major unplanned outages (also known as downtime). Disasters can result from events such as:

• Attacks by hackers
• Computer Viruses
• Power Failures
• Natural Disasters
• System Administration Errors

With the rise in information technology and the reliance on business-critical information, the importance of protecting irreplaceable data has become a more visible business priority in recent years. This is especially evident in information technology, with most companies relying on their computer systems as critical infrastructure in their business. As a result, most companies are aware that they need to backup their digital information to limit data loss and to aid data recovery.

Most large companies spend between 2% and 4% of their IT budget on disaster recovery planning; this is intended to avoid larger losses. Of companies that had a major loss of computerized data, 43% never reopen, 51% close within two years, and only 6% will survive long-term.

The current data protection market is characterized by:

• Rapidly changing customer needs that are driven by data growth, regulatory issues and the growing importance to access data quickly by retaining it online.

• An ever-shrinking time frame for backing up data, which is burdening conventional tape backup technologies and leading to an increase in disk-based backup, data mirroring and high-availability systems.

As the disaster recovery market continues to undergo significant structural changes, the shift presents opportunities for companies that specialize in business continuity planning and offsite data protection such as our company 4Service Inc.

The concept of business continuity (Disaster Recovery Strategy) involves insuring that an organization's critical business processes, including its IT infrastructure, can be maintained in the event of a disaster.
