Today’s small business is about fighting for every inch of success, and finding ways to use your time and resources wisely.

With all the resources we have invested in, it was important for us to make sure we didn’t lose all the headway we have made in the event of a disaster.
We needed to establish a disaster recovery center that would enable us to quickly recover our servers if something bad happened. And to reduce the chances of that happening, we needed to secure our workstations and servers from a wide variety of threats.
