Taking the Pain out of Server Recovery
“Complete hardware failure” are three words no IT administrator ever wants to hear. That is because a complete hardware failure is one of the most common reasons for a server to go down — and to most admins, recovering a server is one of the most time-consuming and tedious tasks to perform.

Find out what is involved with recovering a server, and learn about a remote recovery solution that can take the agony out of recovery.

New Wave of SPAM
Spam continues to be a pervasive problem that all small to mid-sized businesses must deal with. According to the most recent Symantec Internet Security Threat Report:
>>Between July 1 and December 31, 2006, spam made up 59% of all monitored email traffic. This is an increase over the first six months of 2006 when 54% of email was classified as spam.
>>65% of all spam detected during this period was written in English.
>>Spam related to financial services made up 30% of all spam during this period, the most of any category.
>>During the last six months of 2006, 44% of all spam detected worldwide originated in the United States.
Dealing with spam is a waste of valuable employee time. According to a new study conducted by Nucleus Research, two out of every three email messages received by today’s business users are spam. The study also says that users are spending 16 seconds identifying and deleting each spam email, at a cost of $712 per employee in lost productivity, which translates into an annual cost of $70 billion to all U.S. businesses.
