Do not be a part of this statistic, the unfortunate reality is that businesses can fall victim to the forces of nature. Whether it’s a blaze that burns through your office, or a flash flood that sends water coursing through your server room, disasters can hit at any time, and the most likely casualty is your data.

25% of businesses don’t recover after being hit by a disaster. But you can beat the odds by designing a disaster recovery plan that protects your data against worst-case scenarios. Data storage equipment has become more reliable over time, but hard drive failure rate is still close to 5% annually. The risk of fire is about 0.32% annually. On the data storage front, having a single backup is not sufficient when the survival of your business hangs in the balance, so consider implementing disaster recovery.

ScaleMatrix offers Managed Cloud Disaster Recovery through ScaleAssure. Businesses need to have a failover plan in place for peace-of-mind so that their business would continue running in an unexpected event. A geographically diverse DR solution is achievable based on RTO/RPO expectations. In the event of a disaster, one call is all that is needed to launch recovery services. This is a fully managed service with 24/7/365 white glove support—you will actually get to speak to a person, not an automated service. Don’t wait for an unexpected event to occur, start planning now!
