How to Prepare for a Disaster
Unfortunately, natural disasters are something that we can’t control. Mother nature has a mind of her own, and there’s only so much we can do to prepare. When the news that Hurricane Florence was making her way towards Hampton Roads, local businesses prepped with sandbags outside their doors and evacuated to safer ground. But what about their onsite servers? What if we were hit hard and water got in? Preparation for these types of events is crucial when it comes to your business.
Proactive Planning Could Save Your Business
Proactively planning for disasters can help keep your business from going under. Having to deal with a critical emergency or disaster is stressful enough, so finding comfort that your business network is safe will only bring you peace of mind.
When it comes to planning, in addition to saving and securing your physical onsite equipment and devices, your backup solution should be your priority. If you already have a backup solution in place, it’s important to ask yourself where those backups are stored. If they are on-premises in the emergency disaster zone, you may unfortunately out of luck. Businesses that don’t prepare properly may run into:
Loss of business client/patient/customer data
Loss of productivity
Overall loss of business
