It occurred to me recently that many small business owners have never heard of the term Recovery Time Objective (RTO). The definition of the term RTO is quite simple: It is the maximum period of time your business’ IT systems can acceptably be down in the event of a disaster.

Sadly, this term seems to be used exclusively in the mid to large enterprise. Do small businesses have less to lose? Can “Bob’s Accounting” afford to be without their email or Quickbooks more than accounting juggernaut KPMG? Definitely not. If anything, it’s a small business that requires a Disaster Recovery (DR) plan more than a large enterprise as there is much less margin for error.

Choose between one of the following scenarios.

A. No Disaster Recovery services from KISHMISH

Your SBS server just had multiple disk failures simultaneously. Your server is dead in the water. You now must wait for new drivers to arrive, reinstall windows, reconfigure all your systems and applications back to the way they were, restore your data, test a bit, fix a few more things, test a bit more and hope everything works the way it did prior to the failure. It could be days or even weeks before everything is back normal..

B. Disaster Recovery services provided by KISHMISH

Your SBS server just had multiple disk failures simultaneously. Your server is dead in the water. Kishmish is notified and within hours we deliver a new server to your office. Kishmish pushes a few keys and within a couple hours your server is back to the exact way it was before the failure. Applications don’t need to be installed or configured. No special testing is necessary. Everything is back up and running 100% within hours.

Scenario B might be much simpler and more cost effective than you think. Email us to find out more about this solution.
