Technology difference in business continuity

by Mark Rowe

While there may be little about information backup and archiving that is exciting, there is no doubting the importance of looking after this facet of your business. IT is moving at such a rapid pace, it is becoming disruptive, a company suggests.

Creators of products have to keep up with technology and industry trends to make use of arising opportunities. Those who don’t adapt, who just keep on keeping calm will soon be forgotten and then there are those who reinvent themselves, those who rewrite the rules of the game.

To an IT decision maker, backup is like car insurance. Something that has to be in place but not something you want to revisit every day. An effective disaster recovery plan is similar, but in a sense more critical. Again, something that can easily be neglected or even confused with a backup plan.

Some businesses never recover from a disaster – especially those with either no or a poor DR plan. An effective DR plan will minimise business downtime. Obviously it is impossible to predict the impact of a disaster or when it would strike, so one has to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Depending on the impact and nature of your business, downtime can range from seconds to days and for some business, one day could be catastrophic. An effective DR plan will not only have your business operational, but will ensure business as usual. Servers, data and Exchange back in place.

Recently Attix5 changed its focus from being a 15-year-old onsite and cloud backup provider to a leader in disaster recovery and business continuity software and services.

Michael Law, CEO at Attix5 says, “Up until now many organisations didn’t consider implementing proper DR plans for reasons like high cost, additional resources and changes to infrastructure. Attix5 has addressed all the above hurdles with its patent pending LiveRetore technology. It gives any business the ability to recover lost data and servers in minutes from an onsite or cloud backup location.”
