Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) March 10, 2008
Most people give little thought to things like business continuity, business recovery, disaster management, emergency preparedness, or disaster recovery; yet a major workforce disruption can cost millions of dollars in lost productivity. The business of hot sites, cold sites, offsite storage, and backup copies can tax IT departments after a client server crashes in the middle of the night or on a holiday weekend.
The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that over 40% of businesses never reopen following a disaster, and according to the Association of Records Managers and Administrators, over 60% of businesses hit by a major disaster close within two years. IT Disaster Recovery Planning For Dummies can provide you with the direction to quickly get you back in business following a disaster and lend advice on how to prepare for and prevent one.
IT Disaster Recovery Planning For Dummies is an easy-to-use reference book, directed to business owners and IT professionals who need information to keep their business going in spite of overwhelming odds brought on by a disaster. This book provides information that can move IT personnel to a state of preparedness so that if and when disaster strikes, it is nothing more than a routine problem to be solved. The disaster becomes just another little bump in the road handled in stride by good procedures and the good people following them.
