 The
abnormal rainfall of late has been a real test of villagers' spirit and
builders' skill. Yet only a week has passed, yet most businesses are
serving their customers and visitors continue to come.
Broadway will not be stopped by a little bit of water.

What About My Data?
 Despite any damage, the Permutation Company was pleased to find that, of its clients who've used its backup and disaster recovery services, none
has experienced failure or loss. In fact, one client's home
office provided overnight shelter for nearly 30 fellow villagers.
Their network, designed and administered by Permutation, provided uninterrupted access, letting friends and family know that all were safe and dry.
The event highlights the need for redundancy and backup for many
businesses and home users. Accounting records, saved emails and
digital photographs can all disappear instantly without the proper
precautions in place. If you've been waiting for a rainy day, it has come.
Also, not everyone is as fortunate as Broadway. Recently, Staffordshire fire and rescue workers discussed devastating, yet wholly preventable, consequences of ordinary disasters.
“Businesses are sometimes unable to recover from a fire, flooding
or other incident, not because of the direct physical damage sustained,
but due (to)... the loss of vital information from computer systems.”
“Delays in
commencing business recovery operations can be responsible for
consequential losses being far higher than necessary. This can result
in higher insurance claims and an increased likelihood of businesses
failing.” (Damage Mitigation and Risk Management Planning, Fire Magazine, Nov '05).
If you are concerned about your data, contact Permutation today. With over 15 years of experience in the Information and Communication
Technology field around the world, the company
improves
its clients' business practices, educational effectiveness and everyday
lives.
Using a
unique model of support,
small
/ medium sized businesses and schools get the sort of
personalised support that was traditionally reserved for only large
multinational corporations.
Home users get fixed-rate pricing, rather than
unpredictable hourly rates, such that there is no fear involved
with getting help.
