April Showers Bring Disastrous Weather – What’s Your Company’s Back Up Disaster Recovery Plan

We all know the month of April always brings heavy rains, followed by hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires. Typically, spring and summer are high season for natural disasters throughout much of the US.

In the event of a disaster, is your company positioned to flip a switch so your team can continue business as usual from anywhere?

Too many companies avoid moving their data to the cloud because transitioning to a public cloud infrastructure, like Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, means virtually transforming most aspects of your business to fit these models. Not every company has the manpower, time, expertise or, most importantly, the money to invest in a hefty transition like this. So, they stick with their on-site servers and maybe adopt a few cloud resources. They hope for the best.

However, what happens when the strategy of hope doesn’t pan out and your server room gets flooded or burnt out? How long can your operations afford to be down? In terms of your brand, will customers continue to trust you if you don’t recover quickly and deliver the level of service they expect?

Choosing Private Cloud as a Back Up Disaster Recovery Plan has become a very hot topic for these reasons. Converting to Private Cloud is much less complicated and far less expensive than Azure, AWS or Google Cloud. You don’t have to transform your entire business model to make the change. In many cases, your data can essentially be “forklifted” to your private cloud.

In addition, Private Cloud brings these added values:

A flat monthly rate with no hidden fees
No egress fees
Minimizes downtime and disruption for employees and customers – one call and your back up!
No hardware investments
24/7/365 US-Based Support

It’s important to work with a national technology advisor who has access to all the best-in-class Private Cloud providers in the nation. They will take the time to assess your current infrastructure and then recommend the providers that make the most sense for your company’s Back Up Disaster Recovery plan.
