DataDam offers an alternative to much more expensive solutions that are suitable only for large enterprise wide corporate strategies. Although most organisations, large or small have various levels of plans in the case of disasters or damage to their IT systems, many do not have a cost effective method of continuing business as normal when faced with a severe interruption.
DISASTER RECOVERY - DO I NEED IT? The U.K. Department of Trade and Industry stated in 2004:
In the U.K 70% of Businesses that suffered a catastrophic data loss ceased trading within 18 months.
In the U.S. the National Archives and Record Administration in Washington stated:
93% of companies that lost their Data Center for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster.
In order to help your business meet the challenges of these eventualities, we have five cost effective disaster recovery options plus a business continuity solution to get you through any unfortunate incidents that bring your systems to a halt. Also, we understand that the exact solution for you may be something that is slightly different from one of these options, and we would be pleased to discuss this with you.
The penalty for not having a way of operating ‘business as usual’ can, in the best case scenario, cause a loss of business and profit, and at worst, put a company out of business altogether. It doesn’t take many days of downtime for this to happen.
