OFF-SITE DATA BACKUP  SOLUTIONS

Business today is demanding. Certain factors both within our control and from external forces serve to complicate an already complex environment.

Across the vast spectrum of businesses, the sheer volume of data surging through any given database is mind-boggling. The goal of corporate America to "go paperless" is lofty, yet practical. The goal of medical professionals to fully automate radiography and other patient images, is to take full advantage of today's shared technologies. Compounding issues for businesses across the board is the regulatory environment and issues related to compliance, HIPAA and other ongoing constraints.

Data Protection

Online backup is the most secure form of data protection, but there are other options for your important data, too. CoreVault specializes in protecting and managing your growing data needs with its three tiered data storage solutions: Online, Nearline  and Offline.  Each tier reflects monthly fees commensurate with the depth and breadth of services required.

In their quest to become bigger, better, faster and stronger, most businesses fail to recognize the incredible threat to massive amounts of unprotected data that has become a consequence of success and increased technology. Data loss is a threat to businesses across America every minute of every day.

According to the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, DC, 93% of companies that lost data for 10 days for more due to disaster, filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. In the blink of an eye, all can be lost.

Consider these natural disaster scenarios:

• tornado
• flood
• fire
• hurricane

Or how about data disaster scenarios:

• computer virus
• human error
• system failure
• employee embezzlement

Most businesses think they are protected from disaster. Most businesses also implement tape or external hard drive backup. Some businesses, thinking they're even more protected, send data "off-site", thinking the controller's desk drawer at home is "safe." Think again.

Tape backup is guaranteed to:

• Be unreliable - 34% of companies fail to test their backups, and of those that do, 77% have found tape backup failures.
• Be labor-intensive - Employees responsible for manual data backup do so at the expense of precious productivity.
• Be unencrypted - Anyone can access unencrypted data and steal valuable information
• Be stored in an unsafe place - Whether sitting on a desktop at work, or a desk drawer at home, the data contained on tape backup is threatened, unsafe, and likely to become corrupt.

How is data lost?

• 44% hardware or system failure
• 32% human error
• 14% software malfunction
• 7% computer virus
• 3% site disaster

To further complicate matters, consider the mobile workforce and the increased use of laptops worldwide. Is data backup even a thought?

According to the IDC, as much as 60% of corporate data resides unprotected on PC desktops and laptops. Consider this: the FBI estimates that a laptop is stolen every 53 seconds. How protected is the data from a stolen computer? Can any business afford the risk of competitors obtaining confidential information?
