Questions to ask about Intelligent Business Continuity

Given that 24% of companies will experience a full disaster at some point, and companies that lose their data centers for more than 10 days have a 93% chance of going bankrupt within a year, it’s critical that businesses understand what comprises an intelligent business continuity solution.  So they aren’t a statistic.  The best IBC solutions ensure that a businesses data is not at risk and that it will be recovered quickly in the event of a disaster.

When MSPs evaluate which intelligent business continuity solution to offer, and when businesses evaluate which IBC solution to implement, these questions are key:

Do you provide a hybrid cloud backup solution?

Can you provide proof of backup verification?

Will you inform me if corruption occurs, and how am I protected from a corrupted backup point?

Will the data be stored in a safe, secure location that can quickly recover if there is a disaster?

Can you provide instant local and off-site virtualization?

Do you have multiple, geographically diverse, data centers?

Providing the right answers to these questions will help business be confident that they are making the right decisions in relation to intelligent business continuity, and their service provider.
