Every 18 to 40 months Desktop PCs, Laptops and servers are rendered obsolete due to rapid advancements in processing power. Most companies are therefore required to update their computer equipment regularly.

What most companies don’t know is that their networking equipment (switches, routers, and other core devices) also needs regular upgrades. Many businesses continue to operate with a less-than-fully optimized network infrastructure and the effects on your business can be substantial.

Business Effects:

  • Older routing and switching equipment cannot keep up with the phenomenal explosion of e-mail messages, instant messages, and Web downloads.

  • Networks deployed several years ago - designed to support basic file and print sharing, group e-mail, Internet connectivity, and remote branch-office connections are now facing architectural and technological limitations. Many users have faster Internet connections at their vacation homes than in the office.

  • Networks designed years ago to counter minimal security threats using a router or a simple firewall cannot keep up with today’s sophisticated, fast-moving viruses, worms, “malware," and

  denial-of-service attacks, a greater complexity of users - working from a variety of locations all over the world, and a range of latency. 

Today, you and your peers rely on your networks more than ever. For many firms, their network is a strategic success factor – expected to support much more network-sensitive, high-bandwidth traffic, including large e-mail documents, voice, video, and collaboration tools. Given the increased reliance on IT infrastructure, the network is expected to be robust and available 24 hours a day - downtime is unacceptable.

Take advantage of the evolving opportunities your network can provide

From extending and enhancing employee productivity to making it simple for partners, portfolio companies, and other constituents to contact you, to converging voice and video while providing enhanced system wide-security, to offering your office guests wireless Internet access - the benefits and opportunities of a modernized network foundation are significant.

Learn just how powerful your network can be.  Ask a member of your on-site engineering team or contact EveryNetwork today by calling 877-647-2262, emailing info@everynetwork.com, or by visiting www.everynetwork.com.

 
       
  Top 10 Reasons for Using Disk-based Online Server Backup and Recovery  
 

-top-

 
 

Backup of vital company information is critical to a company’s survival, no matter what size the company. Recent studies show that 93% of businesses that lose data due to a disaster go out of business within two years.

Increasingly, businesses are turning to disk-based online server backup and recovery solutions as the most cost effective fit for their requirements, when they have neither the volume of data nor the level of technical staff that characterize most traditional backup and recovery operations.

Here are the top-10 reasons why businesses are turning to disk-based online server backup:

10. Greater reliability in recovering all data where and when needed is ensured, with successful data recovery guaranteed in writing -- Online backup and recovery maximizes the reliable recovery of a firm’s data by combining more reliable disk media with the use of an existing Internet connection to securely move backed up data to a safe, remote off-site location. Online backups ease of use and recovery ensures it will be reliably used — because backup and recovery are automatic “set-it-and-leave-it” processes.

9. Increased competitive advantage is promoted through improved access to data, more predictable cost control and flexible solutions that change with the business -- Access to all your data, all the time, is the prerequisite to successfully competing by responding faster, more proactively and more knowledgeably. Online backup and recovery gives you the edge by fully protecting your data and enabling you to immediately recover it when disaster strikes — or when you wish to restore data to a different location for any reason.

 

8. Freedom from routine backup and restore tasks allows redirection of staff time to value-driven projects with greater impact on productivity and profitability -- Online backup and recovery solutions reliably and automatically offload these functions, freeing staff for work that has a more direct impact on your firm’s competitive advantage, productivity and profitability. Online backup solutions also standardize the backup process across your organization without employing technical staff at each location.

7. Enhanced ability to demonstrate compliance with regulations around information protection is enhanced through consistent, repeatable processes and controls -- Online backup and recovery enables you to automatically get your data off-site to a secure facility — a requirement for many industries. As privacy and records-retention regulations take effect, online backup is always secured — during transmission, storage and access - offering protection traditional on-site methods can’t match. Additionally, web-based management tools allow you to control archive requirements that ensure compliance with corporate and regulatory guidelines.

6. Immediate data restoration either over the Internet or from on-site rapid recovery appliances reduces downtime costs -- Online backup and recovery services immediately move data off-site by backing it up to disk over the Internet, you not only have the security of data that’s residing at least 50 miles away, you can also restore that data effortlessly. Instead of waiting hours, Internet-based restores enable you to recover data in minutes. After the initial back-up version is complete, only changes in that file or database are transmitted — a highly efficient approach that optimizes fast recovery, particularly in cases of data corruption, one of the most common causes of data loss. They also give you control over how much bandwidth is used during any specified time to accommodate your workload and dataflow.
