While business data security should always be a top priority, World Backup Day comes around every year on March 31 to remind us that our data isn’t safe if left unprotected. Man-made and natural disasters can occur at any given moment. What happens during and after a disaster strikes can make or break your business.
According to the Strategic Research Institute, companies who are unable to resume operations within 10 days of a disaster hitting are not likely to survive. That’s an alarming stat to think about; one to lose sleep over.
So, implementing a disaster recovery and business continuity plan is critical to ensure that in the event of a disaster, your business is left unharmed and remains productive as usual.
Enhance Data Security with Cloud Computing
In the past, many small businesses have found it difficult to maintain a sophisticated off-site disaster recovery solution because of high costs. However, cloud solutions have enabled small businesses to access the same capabilities as enterprises at an affordable price by remotely storing important data.
Here’s a list of common benefits of implementing cloud computing as part of your disaster recovery and business continuity plan to protect your data and information:
For businesses who have a low tolerance for downtime and data loss, business disaster recovery with cloud computing is the right answer. In the event of a disaster, cloud allows for faster uploads and downloads of critical business information from anywhere at any time.
Businesses who can’t afford to be down for even a matter of minutes can rely on cloud business continuity. Automating as many processes as possible in the event of a disaster, it ensures that computing resources are switched over quickly to stabilize backup, allowing you to remain operational.
Many SMBs are also looking to cloud because of the flexibility it gives them. You have the ability to test more frequently to ensure your business is always prepared and protected. As your business grows, cloud computing services scale up with you. Increasing your storage capacity is tiered and can be changed on demand. That makes it highly affordable and predictable.
Overall, cloud computing gives your small business the same kind of security major companies have, but at a lower expense that fits a smaller budget. With cloud computing for disaster recovery and business continuity, you also don’t have to buy extra hardware or worry about backing up and transporting physical data.
