Did 'your' team win the Super Bowl? More importantly, did you see ASK's 5 second ad? Our spot aired just before the start of the second half. While we aren't admitting responsibility for the power outage, it did give us a second chance to catch your attention. Maybe they could have benefited from some of ASK's services to keep their systems running. Regardless, in case you were refilling your chip bowl or blinded by tears from the Budwiser commercial (tears that you were claiming to be a result of the spicy wings), you can catch our teaser ad on our YouTube site by clicking HERE
While it is difficult to know just how many hard drives crash each day, there are two statistics that are guaranteed:
1) 100% of hard drives will fail.
2) When your hard drive fails, it will be at an extremely inconvenient time.
When it comes to small and medium businesses, these are statistics that are often overlooked for one reason or another. Unfortunately, businesses that don't consider these statistics are also not prepared for such an event to occur by having a disaster recovery plan in effect. The ramifications of not being prepared for today being "the day" can be costly to the point of closing your doors forever.
Being a business owner comes with the responsibility of considering the "what if's" in all aspects of the business. Certainly you considered the "what if" scenario for the physical/material assets of your business and purchased some level of insurance. While it is an expenditure that no business owner wants to make, it is realized to be a necessity for continuity reasons. Fortunately, the majority of the physical/material assets of your business can be rebuilt. Unfortunately, the critical data needed to run your business is not covered by your insurance plan, so if continuity was a concern, in a disaster scenario, you are left with not much continuity at all. This is where a proactive solution offered by ASK comes into play.
A recent study discovered that, of companies experiencing a "major loss" of computer records, 43 percent never reopened, 51 percent closed within two years of the loss, and a mere 6 percent survived over the long-term.Scary numbers. Yet so easily preventable! At ASK, we specialize not only in IT Services, IT Support, and Technology Help, but also automated backups that are smart and scalable for your business. One of our most popular devices takes snapshots of all the data on your servers up to every 15 minutes for better recovery point objectives. Then, if the need arises, our business continuity solution can restore server operations in 30 minutes or less using advanced virtualization tools. This solution also includes daily offsite bicoastal encrypted backups to ensure business continuity.
