Disaster Recovery

These days, protecting your data isn’t a “nice to have.” It is a “need to have.” That is why so many enterprises rely on DCMS for unmatched data management and protection.

Fact: 43% of all businesses suffering disaster never recover sufficiently to resume business.
Fact: Of the remainder, only 29% are still operating 2 years later.

Why are these numbers so high? All businesses run on three things:

  1. Customers
  2. Staff
  3. Data

Take away any one of these and the business will fail. A business, whether for profit, or not for profit (charity, local or federal government) without its data cannot function.

Is your business at risk? It is not a matter of IF you will suffer a disaster, but WHEN. It may not come as an earthquake, a devastating fire, or a flood; it may be a hardware failure, or a malicious act by an employee. Either way, your data is gone and your business at risk.

DCMS has the answer to your disaster recovery problems, from a single file to the whole of your data; we have a solution that will fit your business and your budget.

Today's fast paced business environment doesn't afford you the luxury of having your server down for "a few" days. A recent study, about acceptable downtime suggests recovery windows are shorter than ever. When asked "at what point is the survival of your company at risk?"
