Did you know that is possible to spell "innovation" with E-A-S-Y? It is quite true and actually quite the simple task for data center disaster recovery plans.
In the past, the companies that chose to back up their data had to depend on, in today's standards, very primitive ways to do so.
I am quite sure you will be able to recall these primitive means; CDs, print outs, floppy discs, and sadly, even hand written documentations.
These files were usually kept in massive filing cabinets kept hidden in the backs of office, sitting there collecting cobwebs and dust.
In those days, there were no such things as computer backup systems that make the majority of today's data center disaster recovery plans.
In fact, in those days online computer backups were completely unheard of, as was the internet.
Thanks to innovative technologies, today is a much simpler and extraordinarily easier to have a data center disaster recovery plan, and also a lot more efficient, but can take a more storage space than a rusted out old couple of filing cabinets.
There is no debate that these innovative technologies have made data center disaster recovery plans easier every sort of business, but surprisingly enough, not all businesses make the choice to reap the benefits of this technological convenience.
You read that correct; believe it not computer backup systems have still not made their way into the data center disaster recovery plans of quite a few stubborn old fashioned firms.
Sadly these companies claim they can not justify the expense of a computer backup system and continue on doing business without any sort of safety net for themselves, nor their customers.
Any little slip up in their system could trigger a massive downfall completely crippling the entire company.
What these firms are failing to see is that data center recovery plans are an essential aspect of all businesses.
Not only can they single handily save a business from an unforeseen calamity, they can also, overtime, drastically cut costs and increase efficiency.
From this view point it is quite easy to see that an investment in a quality data center disaster recovery plan can pay for itself time and time again.
In reality, the popularity of computer backup systems and online computer backups, have made it very easy and affordable to invest in and eliminated virtual every excuse possible of waiting any longer to develop a data center disaster recovery plan.
All we can do for those firms that still refuse to draft and execute a reliable data center disaster recovery plan is wish them the best of luck as they will surely need it.
In fact, with the risks that come into play when being player in the game of business, these firms need all the luck they can get their hands on.
