Selecting a Backup Solution for Your Critical Information A recent study conducted by Insight Express showed that 30% of IT managers estimated that their companies lose at least $10,000 in revenue and productivity after a server failure. For 85% of the respondents, recovering from a server failure takes two or more hours. The same survey, however, found that many businesses lack backup plans or recovery measures. Thirty-five percent of those surveyed don't back up on a regular basis. Insight Express also found that 54% don't see the need to back up their entire systems more than once a month. And here's something else to consider: Gartner Research has stated that two out of five enterprises that experienced a disaster went out of business in five years. For today's small businesses, it is no exaggeration to say that information is the engine of their business. Think about it. Everything about your company - product development, sales, finances, human resources, everything - exists in and is managed through your information system. Information technology isn't just an administrative marvel, either; it's the repository and means of delivery for the information that drives your business. In a very real sense, your information is your company. How you protect it, manage it, and put it to work is the key to business success. Of course, all of these tasks have been greatly complicated by the exponential growth in data volumes. According to a 2004 survey by Horison Information Strategies, a consulting firm that researches the storage market, the amount of corporate data is increasing at an average rate of 50 percent to 70 percent every year. |

The 7 Deadly Signs Of Your server is a ticking time bomb. Although it may never actually blow up, sooner or later it will become obsolete and that is a potentially explosive liability for any business. The truth is that the older hardware is, the more likely that a failure and loss of productivity will occur. According to CompTIA (the Computer Industry Association) a company can avoid large expenses by updating its servers every three years. If it waits five years, then there's a big risk of being compelled to upgrade many components simultaneously which is not a pretty thought. So is your server ready for a once-over? Here are seven signs that you may need to take a closer look. 1. It's been getting slower. 2. It takes more of your time to manage. 3. It's getting louder. 4. It's out of warranty. 5. It's running out of room. 6. Other general weirdness 7. The big one.
