Can virtual servers help my business?

Given the buzz in the IT press you would believe everyone has gone virtual or is going virtual.  This is just not the case.  While many businesses may have started or made tentative steps in this direction there are many who have not.  Whatever your position we believe the time is now right to investigate and understand the “virtual options” that may work for your business.

This is why we have teamed up with C4L and ScaleComputing to put on a seminar for small businesses to cover virtual computing and using a data centre to backup and keep your information secure (including DR).

We think this is a unique opportunity to see these technologies in one place, how they work together and what role they play for small businesses.

If you are looking at your computing infrastructure needs for the next 5 years this should be good for you.

Promoting backup to reduce business risk

We are enthusiastic about helping people to use IT, but backup and disaster recovery is not a subject that generates enthusiasm in many people.  Emma, from Links4Dorset, is helping us to build our ProvenBackup website to promote server backup and eliminate the business risk of lost information; with particular regard to our experience in using ShadowProtect from StorageCraft. 

One of the earliest pieces of work Emma did for us was to question a few companies about backup. The conclusion was not surprising, “small business do understand the need and importance of backup, most do not ensure that adequate backup and disaster recovery is in place”. 

With this in mind we are setting out to help people understand the need for secure backup and disaster recovery, if only to help them use what they already have more effectively.
