Disaster Recovery Planning

I just came across a very in-depth article on why a disaster recovery plan is so important for modern businesses. The article, posted on eWeek.com, goes into detail about the growing need for companies of all sizes to prepare a disaster recovery plan. Sighting instances as wide-spread as Hurricane Katrina, 9-11 and the massive Tsunami in Thailand as recent examples of cities (and businesses) being hit by massive natural disasters.

After reading this article, I'm sure you'll begin to see more clearly than ever why choosing GRM to tailor a document management & disaster recovery plan for your business is more important than ever. I've linked to the entire article above, but have a look at this brief excerpt first.

"Data storage planning for a disaster of any sort used to be a relatively simple process: The IT staff would back up all important current business data onto extra disk drive servers every night or weekend; transfer older information onto archive tape once a week or month; then watch Iron Mountain or a similar service come take the cartridges away and store them in a cool, dark place where the data would likely never be seen again."
