Adding Cloud to Your Information Arsenal with Results+
Are you already using the cloud for data security and recovery? Do you have a good understanding of how you can protect the security of your critical business data with a software application like VMware vSphere Data Protection Advanced?
When your business is to run your business, it is difficult to find the time and critical thinking space to find the right IT solutions. The landscape is constantly changing and when your focus is on building sales, infrastructure and software purchases can become as needed rather than part of a comprehensive solution designed to help you increase your ROI.
Data protection should be simple
Susan contacted LRS after she read about the cloud and wanted to know how she could apply it to her business data. Her issue was that she was collecting data as she traded with her online retail business. However, Susan didn’t know what to do with and how to use it to get ahead of her closest competitors.
She also had questions about data protection. The system that she was using was time-consuming involving tapes. Susan didn’t feel that it was secure enough and that it was taking up way too much staff time for no return.
The one time that they did use the tapes for data recovery meant that she lost half a day’s trading waiting for someone to restore the information because she didn’t know how to do it herself.
