Disaster Recovery
It is not if, but when it occurs!
Data loss can come from anywhere; natural, malicious, inside the company, outside the company. So ask yourself, "What is my acceptable loss?" Is it an hour's worth of work, a day, or a week? Or maybe it doesn't matter. Stop to consider: Am I making a backup?; Where are they stored?; Are they current?; Have I tested them to see if they actually work? All of this matters.
Let us help you know the answers to these questions.
How much business will I lose if I have lost connection to the Internet?
Today we have a major dependance on Internet Service Providers. Currently in the Carlsbad, New Mexico area there are four main service providers for communications. TDS Telecom, PVT, Plateau Telecom, Windstream. There are others as well for the outlying areas beyond the physical cable plant, such as Starlink, Hughes Net, Verizon, AT&T, and Viasat/Exede.
We as a company maintain a working relationship with the local service providers and can help facilitate your connection or help with redundant connections for your critical service.
Your network on the inside is very important as well. Knowing what is connected, where your data drops are on a map and matched with a patch panel, as well as connections through the switch to the router. Having documentation on your network can save you you a headache down the road, and give you the information you need to maintain your integrity of your network.
