| Disaster recovery solutions — more accessible, and more necessary, than ever before
used with permission from the Microsoft Small Business Site Very few of us would hide our life savings under our mattress with confidence that those funds would remain safe and sound.

used with permission from HP Technology at Work When a business’s data is compromised, it’s just a matter of time before things begin to fall apart.

As far as protecting your business is concerned, a business continuity plan is also the least expensive option for small companies because it costs virtually nothing to produce. Utilizing tools such as HP Business Continuity and Recovery Services, and putting the plan into practice, will dramatically improve your chances of continuing operations during a significant event.
