Planning for a Quick Recovery Learn about what you can do to quickly and effectively recover your business’ systems in the event of a disruption. For most small and mid-sized businesses, computing systems and electronic information are necessary to conduct business on a daily basis. You shouldn’t have to think about disasters causing you to lose valuable resources and data, but the reality is that the risk of unforeseen circumstances and disruptions to IT systems is always present. If your IT systems go down, it’s not only inconvenient, it could cost your business a substantial amount of money. A study by Forrester Research estimated that the average cost of downtime for an e-commerce site is $8,000 per hour. It is natural to depend on your information systems to be functioning reliably and effectively at all times. Whether your business needs to process certain orders by Christmas Day, or report financial data to the government to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, time is of the essence. By having a recovery system in place, you can help ensure a quick and comprehensive recovery if your business ever faces a disruption or unanticipated problem that shuts down your IT systems. When thinking about backup and recovery, it is important to recognize that it’s not just about data. Many small and mid-sized businesses also rely on access to specific software, customized settings, and operating systems. Today’s Windows-based computing environment allows you to implement independent recovery solutions that quickly and effectively recover systems so that you and your employees can get back to business as usual as soon as possible.
