Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
Every business owner understands the importance of planning and the proper implementation of said plans. However, after everything is set up, it’s easy to overlook the testing of one’s plans, which can really come back to hurt you when all of your careful planning falls apart. Nowhere is this more true than with data recovery.
Take a moment to consider your answer to this question, “What would you do if all of your business’s data was somehow lost overnight?” How would you react, and what would you do about it? Your data is valuable, so much in fact that your business would be lost without it, and likely wouldn’t be able to run properly.
Do you think that you’re too busy to backup your company’s data? There may be many responsibilities you put off because it feels like you’re too busy for them; backing up your data shouldn’t be one of them. If you think you’re busy now, just wait until you’re faced with a data loss scenario!
Data security should be a top priority for every business. Having good security means identifying risks. Surprisingly, some of the biggest data risks come from within. If employees aren’t following your organization’s data management policies, then they’re your biggest threats.
When your business is in need of IT assistance, you want to make sure that you are getting the best of the best. However, the best course of action isn’t to just look at someone’s qualifications.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a revolution in the computer market as mobile device sales skyrocketed and PC sales slumped. If this trend were to continue for just a few more years, PCs would have possibly become extinct. However, as is the case with any trend, it appears things in the computer world may be normalizing.
One of the greatest things about today’s technology is that it has grown more mobile, and some employees like to bring their own devices from home to use for their workplace. This is called BYOD, and while it is useful sometimes, it might be putting your business at risk.
You’ve heard about how bad a computer crash can be. You may have even experienced a crash yourself, but are you familiar with the technical reason behind a crash? A crash happens when the tiny pieces of a hard disk drive stop working by crashing into each other at very high speeds. When this happens, the data on your computer is lost.
In this day and age, your company’s data is extremely important. Without it, your company would likely cease to exist. But, it’s not just you – the entire world is this way, and the more information that’s out there, the more storage and backup that is needed. Professionals are constantly looking for ways to expand the way we store data, and last month, Sony managed to discover something entirely new that may change the way that we store our information.
