How does your company face common business challenges? You may be surprised to learn that disaster recovery can help you solve many of them, including:
Declining productivity
If your team’s work is interrupted by failing servers or they cannot access critical data, your company is going to experience a decline in productivity. This decline not only impacts your ability to earn income, it can actually cost you in underutilized labor. A disaster recovery solution offering High Availability or Warm Site Recovery will ensure business continuity by quickly restoring your systems in the wake of downtime or a disaster.
Tarnished reputation
You’re only as successful as your reputation. If your company becomes known as the one whose systems are always down, customers may avoid doing business with you. An effective disaster recovery solution will ensure fast recovery times so your company continues to enjoy the reputation you’ve worked so hard to earn.
Loss of business
Lengthy downtimes can mean disaster. If your systems are down, your customers can’t do business with you and will likely turn to your competitors instead. A disaster recovery solution that offers 24/7 monitoring, server management, and system wellness checks can prevent this from happening.
Noncompliance
For those in the medical, financial, or legal fields, compliance with industry regulations is mandatory. If your systems are vulnerable to data loss, you could run into some messy legal situations. A disaster recovery solution that offers ongoing technical support is a must for your operation.
Network vulnerability
Currently, network security is one of the most critical issues faced by any business right now. But with DRaaS, you get greater security with on-going patching, security monitoring, and firewalls for both internal and external networks.
