Disasters happen, fact.
They don’t have to be in the ood or hurricane league;
a re, or equipment failure can cripple a business. While
businesses are out of action, they can lose customers and
revenue. But what’s truly frightening is that less than half of
all businesses have a disaster recovery plan, due to a lack
of understanding of the risks and complexity of available
disaster recovery solutions.
With the systems featured here, your customers can choose
from a number of easy to use, affordable disaster recovery
solutions that enable business continuity under almost any
circumstances. All of which can give your customer peace
of mind.
