The single most important asset of any modern company is its data.

Usually, this invaluable information exists as a string of zeros and ones stashed somewhere on tape or disc.
How, and equally importantly, where this information is stored could be the make or break of the business.
Having securely stored and easily recoverable data will give a company a clear competitive edge when, as they do from time to time, systems go wrong.
As a result of the world events and and the state of the markets, businesses are now acutely aware of the need for effective back-up and disaster recovery, though it is important to be aware that disaster scenarios are not just about terrorist attacks.
The threat to electronically stored data posed by fire, flooding, burglary or even criminal damage is something that companies will find difficulty insuring against, and this is becoming a major concern to today’s businesses.


Small businesses have even less resilience than their larger cousins when facing
disaster caused by computer loss or equipment failure.
But with smaller budgets there is always an issue of balancing security against cost.
