Quid Pro Quo, Clarice: In exchange for a few minutes of your time reading this blog post, I will provide some disaster recovery statistics for your business:
-
- 43% of companies were immediately put out of business by a “major loss” of computer records.
- 51% permanently closed their doors within two years.
- That means that only 6 percent of companies survive longer than two years after losing data!
That survival rate is almost as bad as an encounter with Hannibal Lecter. This is some scary stuff, people!
Here is more fava for your beans from Pivotal IT:
-
- Companies are still failing to put strategic contingency plans in place. Analysts from Hughes Marketing Group have found that over the course of a month, 90 percent of small companies (fewer than 100 employees) spend less than 8 hours planning or managing their business continuity plans.
- Between 60 and 70 percent of all problems that disrupt business are due to internal malfunctions of hardware or software, or human errors that may lead to fraud.
- The catastrophe most businesses experience is not fire, flood or earthquake, but rather something much more insidious—malware.
Need a nice bottle of Chianti to go with these stats?
-
- Every week 140,000 hard drives crash in the United States.
- 31% of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their control.
- 34% of companies fail to test their tape backups, and of those that do, 77% have found tape backup failures.
