Protecting Against a Data Loss

By Jay Webster


When it comes to ensuring that your business runs smoothly, your data storage options are an incredibly important component. Not only may you need to have this information on hand for a wide range of situations including legal implications, but you may need to access it at any point. The loss of data can quickly leave a business in turmoil, especially if the business is unable to retrieve this information.

Rebuilding a business after a major data loss can be incredibly difficult, if not near impossible and that's why it's commonly known that 70% of all businesses go out of business after a major data loss. The data that is lost is often impossible to get back, and if it can be retrieved the process itself can be quite long and painful. The need for businesses to back-up their data is evident throughout this information.

When it comes to backing up data there are generally a wide range of options that are available depending on your own requirements and the needs of your business. As a relatively simple back-up method, a traditional server can provide a great in-house way of storing information, but the downside here is that it doesn't protect against physical destruction.

Many people choose to use cloud servers as a way of backing up their information and this generally involves sending their information to an external server which is located in a completely different area, but which is encrypted to ensure high levels of security throughout. This helps to prevent against physical data loss.

If your company does happen to lose information, then the speed at which it can be restored can go a long way towards helping the development of your business and many companies spend a great deal of money to ensure that this is the case. After the initial outlay, the benefits of a back-up system similar to this can be quite substantial.
