Data Protection

Protection of Data and Systems

All business managers would claim to take computer back-up seriously (who wouldn't?) and yet it is common to read of surveys which suggest the very opposite. We all rely almost fundamentally on our computers and we know that no computer system is totally reliable, so surely everyone should prepare for failure at some time.

  • According to a University of Texas study, 94% of companies suffering a catastrophic data loss will not survive. 43% of these companies don't re-open and 51% close within two years.
  • Hewlett Packard cite IDC research in promotion of their backup systems, showing that of the 13 million small businesses in Europe only around 50% back up regularly.

Statistics like this may not motivate the reckless, but neither should they scare the diligent. We work with all of our clients to implement backup systems appropriate to budget and the protection level chosen by our clients.

You decide what's important - we'll explain the options.
You choose the solution - we design and deploy it.

Protecting documents can require little more than copying some spreadsheets, letters and pictures to tape, but protecting servers and databases involves a lot more sophistication. Do you need multi-generational protection, rapid restoration and disaster recovery options? Most companies do, even if they're unable to use the technical phrases that IT engineers understand. We can make sure that your business has the level of protection that you want.

Call us now, so when the inevitable happens, it does not become a disaster.
