Ask yourself a few questions:
- How much does it cost your company per hour when you have downtime in your IT infrastructure?
- How long would it take to rebuild your entire IT infrastructure if you lost everything?
- Do you have any type of disaster recovery plan for any part of your IT infrastructure?
- How many copies of your important data exists globally?
You might be under the assumption that it "won't happen to me", but it might not take a natural disaster to bring your company to its knees. A simple SAN failure could cause large data loss, for instance.
According to a recent survey of 1,000 people on disasterrecoveryforum.com, only 9% of people indicated that they have a fully developed and actively maintained disaster recovery plan.
The U.S. Department of Labor estimates over 40% of businesses never reopen following a disaster. Over 60% of businesses confronted by a major disaster close by two years and only 6 percent survive in the long term according to the Association of Records Managers and Administrators.
We truly believe that it is a necessity for any business to have a business continuity plan including a disaster recovery plan. Please contact us if you are interested in how we can help.
