Disaster Recovery

 

Is your business protected, should disaster strike?

In fact, it’s no longer a matter of if, but “when” a disaster will strike the region. Businesses today have to protect their assets, in the face of catastrophic threats such as failing levees, erratic weather patterns, and other global dangers.

“Because of aging levees, the Sacramento-San Joaquin region's risk of flooding is the highest in the country -- even more so than New Orleans, LA.”

Sobering Statistics

  • The U.S. Department of Labor estimates over 40% of businesses never reopen following a disaster.
  • Of the remaining companies, at least 25% will close within 2 years.
  • Over 60% of businesses confronted by a major disaster close by two years, according to the Association of Records Managers and Administrators.

 

Is your business prepared?


Answer “No” to any of these questions, and your business may be at risk. The experts at SOS can help:

 Do you have a Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity plan in place?
 Is there a consistent backup process, and test restore process in place?
 Do you have off-site storage in place?
 Do you know the hourly cost of downtime to your organization?
 Do you know your RTO? (Recovery Time Objective)
