When Disaster Strikes
With the tragedies in the Midwestern and Southern states in the last few weeks it causes a lot of people to think. Families losing their homes and valuable memories, and businesses having their investments destroyed in a swirling cloud of destruction makes you realize how little in life you really can control.
As represented in the video things just get destroyed in the blink of an eye, and once that happens there is no time to go back and redo lapses in judgement especially when the loss of data is concerned. That is why it is crucial to have disaster recovery plans in place to make sure you are never at a loss for your data. What this also shows us is that data storage in house is a great idea, but in a case like this it may not be enough. Taking a set of tapes off site is a start but if your equipment is gone after a disaster you may be waiting to restore.
In best practice when looking into a backup solution you want something that will be there when you are ready to go back online and when at all possible it is best to take that off-site. If you don’t have an additional building available to you to create that Data Center then there are great alternatives. One such location we recommend is the Ozark Mountain Underground Complex. This is a highly secure facility with storage available for the largest Data Centers. If you are a SMB that needs a smaller plan that is available too. Rest assured that under that much rock your data is virtually untouchable by the elements.
Cloud services are also available to keep your data safe.The key to this thought is where your data is kept. Some large services have Data Centers all over the world. For some that is not an issue, but for others that may well be a concern. This is always a good question to ask when looking into providers. If you have questions in that regard we are happy to assist.
When you are looking for product to build your Data Center consider all options carefully. There are solutions that include a hybrid Cloud and Hard Disk backup. Cisco Systems SmartStorage solutions give you the best of both worlds in that area. There are also great options with EMC, Dell and HP as well.
