Business continuity planning saves your hide!
How? It ensures that critical business functions are available to customers, suppliers, regulators, and other entities that must have access to those functions. These activities include project management, system backups, change control, and help desk solutions. Business Continuity is not something implemented at the time of a disaster; business continuity refers to those activities performed daily to maintain service, consistency, and recoverability.
Business continuity: Examples
There are many key areas, including: Power Management, Computer replacement, Server replacement, a backup strategy and remote access for your users.
When it comes to the software solutions, we recommend the setup of a Cloud hard-drive from Rackspace JungleDisk (we are a Gold level reseller) as we believe their cloud service is the most robust and flexible solution for any Apple Mac Business.
