Data Management
Disaster
Recover
The most important single component of your company's computer
system is your data. A well planned, thorough and reliable
backup policy must be in place to ensure that if the worst happens,
such as a server crash or loss of data through a hard disk failure,
you can get your data back quickly and be online again within
hours. In short, planning to make sure the disaster never or
rarely happens is the best policy.
Backup Verification
Services
Some questions you need to ask yourself as a business could
be...
- How dependable are your
backups?
- Do you regularly restore from
them to ensure that they are working?
- Is this task assigned to a member
of your staff on a weekly basis?
If it is a tape based backup system, do you restore from a
different tape drive to ensure compatibility? If the answer
is no to any of these questions, then Seetec can provide this
critical service to you. Relying on your backups, only for
them to fail, could cost your company a large sum, both in terms of
having to reconstruct the data from scratch and the time and
resource it will take to re-enter it.
Storage Area
Networks
As the size, complexity and a business'
dependency on their data increases, so do the risks of data loss
and storage increase. By installing a Storage Area Network
(SAN) these problems can be alleviated. A SAN is a single
point to store all of your users' critical data, such as Word &
Excel Documents, that would otherwise be stored on a user's local
machine. Access rights can be established meaning that IT
security policies already in place are adhered to. SAN also
provides fast communication for the user to the Storage. All
important, critical company data is located in one place.
This enables backups to be scheduled more effectively and, with the
correct procedures in place, the threat of malicious attacks on
your data from disgruntled employees and viruses will be
minimised.
