BUSINESS CONTINUITY FROM ULTIMA

TODAY’S BUSINESS CONTINUITY LANDSCAPE: THE RISKS AND CLOUD OPPORTUNITIES FOR SMBS

In 2019,25% OF BUSINESSES WORLDWIDE reported an average cost per hour of server downtime of $301,000 -$400,0001.

From natural disasters to malicious incidents, the threat of an IT disaster is ever-present for organisations of all sizes. As a result, customer delays, critical data loss, or complete shutdown could potentially signal hefty costs, not to mention reputational damage.

For these reasons the importance of having an effective business continuity plan in place has never been higher.

Today’s SMBs are realising that by moving their business continuity process to the cloud, not only do they gain a more secure and agile way of working, they also benefit from:

Organisations using cloud-based business continuity solutions can take advantage of the pay-as-you-grow model, aligning costs with the complexity and size of their needs. This eliminates the need for expensive on-premise infrastructure and enables the shift from non-recurring CAPEX to recurring OPEX.

Data can be backed up in real time or at scheduled intervals, removing the need to rely on traditional backup to physical tape. This eliminates the risk of losing data and hours should the tape be lost, damaged, or stolen.

Cloud-based solutions offers the option to restore your crucial data and systems to any location, instantly adding a layer of reliability to your backup. Businesses can ensure business continuity even in remotely located areas, in the event of a disaster.

Cloud-based business continuity can be quickly deployed across your organisation, allowing remote access to necessary systems with a model that offers consistency with simplified management and support.

SMBs lacking in technical resource can leverage cloud provider expertise, and easily get set up without the need for much training or additional head count.
