What to look for in a physical data recovery solution
Access to data after a fire, flood or other catastrophe can make or break your organization.
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and government agencies are the backbone of many communities. In the Western world, from North America to Europe, locals rely on SMBs and the government for everything from health care to groceries to transportation – they’re what keeps cities, towns and rural areas operating as they need to.
Many of these organizations are in remote locations or areas that have low internet bandwidth – and unreliable access to cloud storage. Due to the high consequences of these emergencies and the increasing prevalence of natural disasters, the cloud no longer suffices for data storage at organizations in remote locations or areas with internet connection issues.
This means physical data must now be a part of disaster planning for businesses, government agencies, and organizations. When these organizations lose access to data, they often struggle with lengthy post-disaster recovery times. Events as common as a plumbing break or as devastating as a wildfire can have an outsized impact on an organization’s ability to recover and operate as needed.
