Server downtime has always been a major concern with IT administrators. But when it comes time to present the IT budget for improved datacenter resiliency, it’s sometimes difficult to justify the case to departmental decision makers. This is especially concerning in a time when data storage requirements are increasing rapidly.
Today, companies have less free cash available to clean up after a major disaster.
As a means of helping with this issue, Storagepipe has produced a simple widget which clearly illustrates the urgent need for effective business continuity planning and implementation.
The Downtime Cost Calculator is easy-to-use, and can provide relevant downtime cost calculations within only a few seconds. The estimations are based on a number of key business factors such as employee size and annual revenue.
Performing cost/benefit analysis using a tool like this can present an attractive alternative to building complicated spreadsheet simulations.
This tool illustrates the value presented by Storagepipe’s line of cloud-based data protection technologies which can help businesses minimize the costly effects of server downtime.
Amongst Storagepipe’s service offerings are Online Backup, Data Archiving, High Availability, Business Continuity, and more.
