Data is at the centre of almost every business. When it's lost or unavailable, operations stop, and every hour of downtime costs revenue, productivity and customer confidence.
Common causes of data loss and downtime
- Hardware failure
- Power loss
- Software failure and data corruption
- Security breaches, including ransomware
- Accidental deletion and user error
Why backup alone falls short
Many businesses run regular backups, and that's good practice. But a backup is only a copy of your data. It doesn't tell you how quickly you can be working again. Manual backup routines are also vulnerable to human error, and with more servers, desktops and laptops in use, every device needs protecting.
Business continuity starts with a different question: how much downtime can your business tolerate, and how fast can critical systems be restored?
What business continuity adds
- A risk management process that protects company assets
- Recovery of critical systems within agreed timeframes
- Hybrid cloud backup, with data stored locally and secured in the cloud
- Image-based backup that replicates entire systems, not only selected files
- A clear picture of how much downtime your business can withstand
- Customer confidence that you'll stay available
Questions to ask about your current setup
- How is your business protected against disasters today?
- Have you had downtime incidents in the past?
- Are your backups stored only on-site?
- How long would it take to restore your main systems?
