Island Tech Services (ITS) Asks Small Businesses: Is Your Data at Risk?RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Sept. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Business professionals, first responders and public-sector employees all have at least one thing in common – they need prompt access to critical information to perform their jobs in a timely manner. "Whether you're in the office or in the field, time is often against you when it comes to data recovery," says Peter Vescovo, COO and Partner at Island Tech Services (ITS) (www.itsg.us.com), a leading provider of advanced technology, mobility and vehicle solutions. "During a disaster is not the time to find out that your data did not back up correctly or that it is unavailable." When data is placed in jeopardy by a natural disaster or internet threat, prompt access to backup data can mean the difference between success or failure for the business, project or mission. Unfortunately, many well-meaning businesses and agencies are relying on untested, outdated or unprotected data storage when it comes to critical information and backup data situations. ITS offers Five Guidelines for Ensuring Your Critical Information is Safe. Data disasters – the loss or inability to recover critical business information – can happen to any business at any time. Threats are not limited to natural disasters, but also man-made mini-disasters like spilling coffee on a laptop, server or storage device, as well as more malicious threats like malware and ransomware. For these reasons, small business disaster and business continuity planning must be prepared for many different types of disasters, including fires, floods, fraud, ransomware, cyber-threats, power or IT system failure, human error and other scenarios. "And the annual cost of an appropriately-scaled disaster recovery backup system is often as little as one penny per minute of data backed up per million dollars of company review. That is often less than a typical liability insurance policy that a business must maintain," says Vescovo. Five Guidelines for Ensuring Your Critical Information is Safe
There are many different types of backup scenarios available for small businesses, including on-site systems, off-site systems and hybrid on-site and cloud-based backup systems. ITS provides knowledgeable and experienced service to assist clients when investing in the best system for their needs and budgets. "We like to see that our customers are only six minutes away from their data, no matter what," says Vescovo. "We have the expertise to deliver data backup and disaster recovery solutions as managed services for the data protection needs of small and mid-sized businesses or distributed locations of large enterprises we support."
