What CEOs Should Know About Business Continuity/Backup Disaster Recovery

BDR, or backup/disaster recovery, is essential for any business. As the CEO, it's your responsibility to make sure your business can survive in the event of a disaster. Whether it comes in the form of an earthquake or computer virus, disasters can happen and need to be planned for. In fact, the survival rate for a company without a disaster recovery plan is less than 10 percent. Ninety percent of businesses that lose data due to a disaster are forced to shut down within two years and 80 percent within 13 months.

Business continuity involves making a comprehensive plan, as well as maintaining communication within an entire office. From the senior management to the entry-level, every employee has their own role in the event of a disaster. As the CEO, it's your responsibility to make sure that the entire company is prepared. Part of that preparation includes BDR. Stratosphere Networks understands the effects a disaster can have on a business and the damage data loss can cause.
