Most Disasters can be avoided
with Disaster Planning;
Do you have a
Server Disaster Avoidance Program
The Only
“Sure-Thing” when using PC’s/Servers is that they WILL Fail!
Every day
that goes by without a PC/Server Failure brings you that much
closer to a Failure!
File Servers
installed in a Small-Business environment present a “High-Risk”
to business continuity. Businesses have come to depend on
Servers for their very survival. Businesses maintain their
database, financials, marketing/sales/product data, tax records,
legal records, calendars, contacts, and correspondence – all
“intellectual property” – on their Server(s). Would your
business survive if this data were unavailable for days – or
gone forever?
This risk
must be managed as effectively as any other area of your
business.
Businesses
hopefully make intelligent choices by insuring their offices and
contents against disasters; however, where do you go to
repurchase your business records?
OmniData’s
proactive approach is to mitigate this risk and the impact of
server failures on a small business.

Backing-Up/Disaster Recovery has continued to grow in complexity
as the capability of PC’s/Servers has grown. Today’s servers
require significant setup/customization, which becomes almost as
critical as the data maintained on the servers. Tomorrow’s
servers will continue to grow in capability and complexity.
Yesterday’s Backups were relatively simple – Today’s/Tomorrow’s
Backups are complex.
In addition
to the issues associated with Back-Up procedures, servers
generally require additional maintenance – some software – some
hardware. Consideration must be given to;
·
Regular
Hardware Inspection
·
Software
Revisions/Updates
·
Hardware/Software Failures
·
Anti-Virus Protection
·
Ongoing
Event-Monitoring
