Thoughts for 2008

First of all the etfile Team would like to wish everyone a happy, health and successful New Year! Here are some thoughts for the new year.

In 2008 a big concern in business, no matter what type of business you are in, will be compliance and disaster recovery. As you may have noticed in our first issue and again in this issue - we will continue to help educate you on
e-discovery, compliance and disaster recovery.

We will do our best to continue to bring you the most up-to-date information concerning these topics.

Another item to think about is Generation Y (or the Millennial generation) and technology. Technology is becoming more important as Generation Y hits the workforce - get ready because this generation is different from any that have come before. Listed among this generations favorite hobbies are Googling and social networking.

So think about these folks as you decide how your company is going to attract these types as employees and customers. They are our future, let’s become part of theirs.

Until next issue...

Why Online Backup is Replacing Tape Backup

Businesses today face exploding data growth. IT staffs are under pressure to ensure data availability under tight fiscal constraints. The unreliability and demanding management of traditional tape-based backup has forced system administrators to create error-prone processes in order to protect their data. Consequently, other critical objectives such as complying with regulatory requirements are not being adequately met.

The time is now for online backup. Unless you’ve just spent a huge amount of money on a new tape library, there really isn’t a good reason not to switch to reliable and easy-to-manage online backup.

Today's Soft Markets and Technology

Technology can be one of the best tools to help restore financial stability

The automatic response by many organizations during a soft market is to cut budgets, including a reduction in IT expenditures. While sensible budget cuts may be required in some areas, cutting IT expenditures would be a counter-productive measure. The IT budget is the one place where there is an extraordinary opportunity to create a positive return on investment. IT provides valuable solutions, such as automation, business process improvement, and improved efficiencies -- which enable owners to be more productive with less resources.

So, what kind of impact will the downturn in the economy have on the strategic importance of technology and automation?

Does your Business have a Disaster Recovery Plan?

Disasters can strike anywhere at any time with little or no warning. Recovering from a disaster can be stressful, expensive and time consuming, particularly for those who have not taken the time to think ahead and prepare for such possibilities. However, those businesses that have prepared and made recovery plans survive with comparatively minimal loss and disruption.

Of companies that had a major loss of computerized data without proper backup and restore capabilities, 43% never reopen, 51% close within two years, and only 6% will survive long-term - no company wants to become part of these statistics. Many of these companies never tested the backup tapes or ever used the tapes for a trial restore of lost data. Research has proven that tape backup fails to recover data as much as 50% of the time. Furthermore, in the event of a disaster, most companies do not have adequate offsite protection for their server data.
