Business continuity refers to a company's ability to maintain mission critical operations when confronted with an unplanned event such as a power failure, natural disaster, or any other event that causes a service disruption. Such events not only cause costly short- or long-term service disruptions; they have far-reaching consequences in today's competitive global marketplace, as well.
Zones account professionals hear these concerns from our customers across the United States-businesses of all sizes in all industries, including public-sector accounts. Rest assured, we can provide your business or organization with an array of cost-effective solutions-including configuration-and proactive customer service thereafter.
Business Continuity Planning
By proactively creating, implementing, regularly testing and maintaining a business continuity plan, you can minimize costly downtime, maintaining service at acceptable levels until your business becomes fully operational again. During down times, keeping crucial data intact, secure, and readily accessible is paramount. Customer records, e-mail, and other data are not only required for operations, but for regulatory compliance as well. Each minute lost can result in a variety of costly losses for your business.
In addition to establishing a business continuity plan, it's equally important to select the appropriate technologies. You need robust software and hardware that's flexible and reliable enough in a variety of circumstances to produce the desired results. Zones certified professionals operate from a strong knowledge base to assist you in making the best possible choices, taking all your business continuity requirements into consideration.

Prevention
The most effective way to protect against constant endpoint security issues - threats and intrusions from malware, network firewall attacks and internal data theft - is to prevent them from occurring in the first place.

Storage
Just as important as protecting business data to ensure Business Continuity, the storage of your business data - location, method, storage medium and ease of retrieval - is vital to successful recovery. Further, it is important to choose backup, document management and archiving methods that support your business continuity objectives.

Recovery
To recover and return to full operations as soon as possible it is critical that you have a comprehensive disaster-recovery plan. To successfully implement this plan, you'll need sufficient power protection along with current hardware and software that are reliable and robust enough to achieve recovery.
