In the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks many companies and organizations came to the glaring realization they were not prepared for the data disaster that followed. Extensive volumes of personal data, including investment portfolios, employee records, and other crucial data were lost. Due to this horrific event those involved in disaster recovery services began implementing new strategies to help corporations develop a plan to safeguard their company's data. Disaster recovery services are organizations that provide a multitude of services to help companies recover lost data.

Data loss can occur if there is catastrophic hardware or software failure, internal or external sabotage, power outages or natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes or flooding.

Disaster recovery services offer a variety of services to ensure a business can get back up and running in a short period of time. Some disaster recovery services provide off-site storage of crucial data including scheduled back-ups. Others provide an entire mobile office which includes computers, servers, satellite connection, Internet access, desks, chairs, telephones and more.

Disaster recovery services are no longer a luxury in the business world. They are a necessity. Every corporate entity needs to have safeguards in place which allow them to continue on with business regardless of catastrophic events. This is particularly true for hospitals, nursing homes, insurance companies, and banking institutions.

Disaster recovery services can help any business or organization form a disaster preparedness plan by conducting a risk assessment. This analysis involves collecting data on all areas of the business that may be affected by a disaster including the IT infrastructure, service interruption, data loss, and property damage.

After conducting a thorough analysis of the business, they can help the business organize a risk management team. At minimum, the risk management team should consist of one member from the senior management team, IT, communications, and human resources.

With the guidance of disaster recovery services, this team will research and develop the disaster assessment and recovery plans, and develop a cohesive data recovery and business resumption plan.

Typically, the costs for disaster recovery services start at as little as $250 per month. These costs will increase or decrease depending on the size of the organization.
