Can disaster recovery be as easy as one, two, three? With managed network solutions, it certainly can! Here are the top three ways to make sure your company is ready for just about anything--from fires and floods to hackers and malware.

Choosing Managed Services

For many companies, the decision to implement a solution like managed IT services can be a little stressful. After all, how do you choose someone to look after one of the most critical parts of your company? How can you trust that you're putting all that responsibility in the right hands? The trick is not to find a provider, but rather a partner.

The difference is that one will want your money, while the other will want to work with you every step of the way to create detailed, focused plans, built around your unique needs. Managed network services can be the best thing that ever happened to your company--but only if you take the time to find a provider who's as invested in success and security as you are.

Where to Begin

Once you have managed network solutions in your arsenal, disaster recovery is as easy as one, two, three.

#1: Protect

Use encryption, firewalls, backups, and other security tools to make your data and files as safe as possible. This limits your risk of security breaches and eliminates little problems before they become big ones.

#2: Organize

Create a simple, solid plan for responding to emergencies. Make sure everybody knows what role they're playing, what they're expected to do, and how to keep calm.

#3: Prioritize

Which systems need to be back online first? What data do you need access to right away to keep working? Answer these questions and more to identify your priorities and help you recover after a disaster.
