Your company's data is debatably your most valuable resource. When companies accidentally lose their data, their future in business is not a favorable fight. In fact, if any given small business is unable to access their data for ten days or more, statistically they likely will not survive the following fiscal year. Learn how to defend your data.
There's only so much you can do to defend yourself and your business from a natural disaster. However, you can implement a well thought out business continuity plan that allows your business to actually thrive in the event of an accident. The most important aspect of any business continuity plan is the data backup and recovery (BDR) solution.
When designing and implementing your company's BDR solution, the first step is to identify your mission critical data; the stuff that you can't do business without on any given day. It may be difficult for you to determine which pieces of data make the cut and get prioritized above the rest. The 80/20 rule may help. It states that 20% of your company's data accounts for 80% of the value. Here are some crucial pieces of data that you'll want to prioritize as your "20%".
You may find it difficult to prioritize your files according to what is most valuable to the operation of your company. Going through this prioritization process is a good routine practice, and helps eliminate junk files floating around your network. However, there is a way to bypass this data prioritization altogether. Ferrum Technology Services can store every byte of data that's on your network with our BDR solution at an affordable cost. Whichever route you choose (backup all files, or only the most important), our BDR solution can automatically back up your priceless data at regular increments throughout your workday. You'll never have to worry about losing your data again. In the event of an accident, we can have your information back to you as soon as you are ready for it.
