Feb 11, 2004 : Broadspire Introduces Disaster Recovery
📅 - Managed IT services provider BroadSpire (broadspire.com -> hostinger.com) today introduced a disaster recovery service that aims to help small and mid-size companies maintain Web sites, Web-based applications, email and instant messaging communication when disasters, such as viruses, strike.
BroadSpire's disaster recovery service includes a Web-accessible company contact list hosted in one of BroadSpire's global data centers; an instant messenger platform to serve as the critical messaging system between employees during disasters; and a backup e-mail system to capture corporate email and prevent "bounces" during an outage.
"Companies rely heavily on their Web sites and Web-based applications. In fact, many businesses would be crippled without them," says BroadSpire president Suresh Srinivasan. "Yet whatever their size, many companies don't have a plan in place that would keep these business-critical functions running properly in case of disaster.
"Proper security means taking precautions in advance of a threat, not when the threat is imminent and it's obviously too late," Srinivasan said. "Companies should focus on both procedural practices and deploying the right technology. Procedures and technology go hand-in-hand for sound security, which is why we've tapped both disciplines in developing our disaster recovery offering. It's all part of our enterprise hosting for every business."
Broadspire introduced the new service after conducting a survey that showed more than one-third of American workers are "quite" or "somewhat" concerned that a natural disaster or terrorist act could take out computer systems at work.
