Disaster Recovery
In today’s complex business environment
information availability, security and reliability are a
necessity for the survival of an organization. Disaster can
strike an organization in two forms: Physical destruction of a
location (or access to a location and data), – (e.g. fire,
flood, earthquake, significant power or network outage, and
terrorist attacks, and data destruction without physical
destruction – examples include hardware failures, virus/hacker
attacks, software malfunction, or human error.) Costs of
operational downtime vary from industry to industry. Financial
firms calculate the cost in millions of dollars per hour, while
other traditional industries calculate the cost in thousands per
day. These costs include: lost business transactions, lost
employee productivity, lost customer data, in some cases
regulatory penalties, fines and lawsuits. SmartData offers a full portfolio of disaster recovery and business
