Backup
Most businesses have backup systems in place that, in a perfect world, for the most part are adequate. They typically include routine duplication of data files, databases, systems or servers, plus monitoring, alerting and generation of status reports. But when dealing with a major catastrophic event, this is often not sufficient enough to effectively sustain operations. That's why it's critical that your Business Continuity Plan features a comprehensive backup approach that includes the appropriate technologies to support it. Whether your solution be virtual storage, tape backup or a remote deduplication system, Zones ExpertConnect specialists have the hardware, software and technical expertise to assist you in choosing the most effective backup storage solution for your business.

Archiving
Reliable long-term storage of large volumes of business data necessary for internal business operations and compliance with government regulations and other legal requirements is also a factor in any effective Business Continuity Plan. Chief considerations for archiving solutions include choosing a storage medium that will not degrade over time and that will be cost-effective relative to your entire operation. Storage may include off-site or even out-of-state remote locations for disaster-safe archiving and recovery options.
