Did you know that the optimal condition for static electric shocks is
cold dry air? The wintertime gives you plenty of opportunity to charge
up with static electricity and then inadvertently zap your sensitive
electronics like memory cards, hard drives, PC and servers. This looming
risk goes unnoticed until the question comes up…Do we have a backup?
According
to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers, 70% of small businesses that
have a major data loss go out of business within a year. They fail not
because of a flaw in the product or service they offer, but because the
business was not properly managed from the IT side. In order to
successfully manage the most valuable aspect of any business - data, a
business has to hire an IT administrator, outsource the IT management
task or get training on how to fulfill the IT task themselves. Small and
mid-size businesses usually do not have dedicated IT staff and have
little desire to spend a lot of time or money on technology or sign up
for complicated licensing agreements.
