Why should I worry about my data?
While we can’t begin fathom the loss and utter destruction that has plagued Japan, our hearts and prayers go out to those affected. The anguish of the Japanese people is great and the earthquake and tsunami have changed the face of their country forever. As a company, Cage has made a donation to the ongoing relief efforts. There are a number of organizations that are providing relief: the Red Cross, Samaritan’s Purse to name a couple.
While watching video footage of the Tsunami, I started asking myself “what would Cage Data do if we had a disaster and we lost access to our main facility in Wallingford.” Cage Data has a disaster plan, and this latest disaster has caused us to check and double-check our plans to make sure that we are able to be up and running in a short amount of time if the unthinkable were to happen.
My question to you is this: What would you do if you lost access to your business facility and your computer systems? Cage has addressed backup issues with some of our clients, but not everyone. What would happen if you lost all your computer systems? Over the next couple weeks, we will be looking at disaster recovery and what you need to do as a business or an individual to protect the most important aspect of your business-your data; the information that makes your company work.
In a couple of weeks, Cage will have an exciting announcement which will help everyone in the event of a disaster.
