Data Storage and Backup

Storage of data is an ever-growing problem by its very nature. Cynosure Solutions's storage consulting team specialise in the design and build of complex storage solutions for organisations of all sizes, both using existing systems and where appropriate new technologies.

Each year, data loss costs businesses substantial amounts of revenue in terms of lost productivity, lost customers and lost business information. While you can protect your business information as much as is possible, at some stage data will be lost due to hardware, software or human error. A recent study found that up to 7% of consumer grade hard disk drives will fail each year, with the average lifespan of a hard drive estimated at approximately 5 years. 

The importance of a reliable data storage infrastructure and data security policy cannot be over-emphasised. Ensuring that your data is stored on a reliable and fault tolerant storage infrastructure and backed up daily is of huge importance to business continuity. We also recommend implementing a data security policy and setting privilege levels for employees accessing data, using encryption where appropriate.
