KEEP CALM AND CALL US FOR DISASTER RECOVERY

Even small businesses need to plan for IT disasters.  The difference between an outage that lasts for days or even weeks and an outage that is barely noticed is planning.  Having backup equipment is one thing but having a plan to get the equipment active with useful data is quite another.

Virtualisation

Virtualisation is a technology that enables server environments to run multiple systems on a single server which can be a great way to reduce costs on equipment.  In a disaster it can be a lifesaver.  Virtual machines can run on completely different hardware without all the problems that come from changing hardware.  In the case of a server failure, they can be uploaded onto a new machine and running in quick time.  No other technology is as important to small businesses in managing disaster.

Backup

While virtualisation is a vital tool to overcome hardware failure, there will always be a need to protect data.  Backups are vital, especially in the era of viruses that can destroy or lock files from being able to be read.

Keep Calm

The most important thing to do in the event of a disaster is to keep calm and work through the process of putting in place the processes required to keep the business running while the issues are addressed.  Taking shortcuts almost always makes thing worse.
