Pacific Computer Systems: Safeguarding your data

Protecting against server crash

Staff members at Pacific Computer Systems, take a hands-on approach to protecting your data while helping to minimize the frustration of server failure.

Companies of all sizes rely on their computer systems to store vital data, perform daily mission-critical operations and to help with many general tasks. Whether your business is a local cracked seed store using an Excel spreadsheet to keep your check register or a multi-million dollar business tracking inventory, payables and customer accounts, your computer system is one of your most valuable assets.

Could your business continue to function if your server or another main computer failed?

Could your business continue to function if your data became corrupted or was lost entirely?

You could probably manage if a single computer failed. Loss of your data and important records is more serious and could result in a major disruption or possible loss of your business.

Government studies estimate that 40 percent of businesses that suffer a catastrophic data loss never resume business.

Pacific Computer Systems assists its accounts by pre-paring them for a computer crash. It provides the systems, software and services necessary to prevent data loss. It also helps to recover data in the event that your company’s facilities become damaged or unusable.

In the past, it was good enough to make a simple floppy disk backup of your data, store it in the safe and copy it back to a computer if there was a problem.

Today’s complex software requires a better plan. Data is stored in multiple files on several computers or on a network server and rarely fits on a floppy disk.

Without a plan for backup and recovery, your business could be at risk.

Business continuation is part of system design and is a design component provided by Pacific Computer Systems for more than 20 years. The company evaluates the total environment and provides a complete security, backup and recovery solution — both on-site and off-site — to help guarantee your business’ future.

On-going review of your company’s computer systems is as important as its planning, design and implementation. This review and the resulting policies set in place should address spyware and anti-virus protection, e-mail and instant messaging use and security, and Internet access and policies, along with your data backup and recovery plan. Each of these areas is critical and requires attention and enforcement to insure your systems’ — and your company’s — ability to work properly.

Call Pacific Computer Systems at 277-8156 to schedule a review of your security, backup and recovery position. There’s no charge for this evaluation.
