Forget the sophisticated cyber-attacks you see in the news. Often, the real business killer is much more mundane: that aging server in your storage room. Many business owners assume that if it’s still humming, it’s still working. Unfortunately, hardware doesn’t just retire; it crashes; usually at the worst possible moment. When a primary server fails, it doesn't just take your data with it; it takes away your ability to compete.
The Invisible Cost of Good Enough
Technology is the engine of your business, but it has a finite shelf life. When hardware reaches its breaking point, you aren't just losing files; you’re losing:
- Operational momentum - Total access loss to customer records and financial data.
- Intellectual property - Years of work vanished in a single click-and-fail.
- Hard revenue - Every hour of downtime is a direct hit to your bottom line.
At CoreTech, we believe you shouldn't have to cross your fingers every time you boot up.
Beyond Backups: Managing Your Recovery
Most providers talk about backups. We talk about Uptime.
Through Managed IT services, we focus on your Recovery Time Objective (RTO). It’s the difference between being back online in 30 minutes versus staring at a blank screen for three days. Without a managed strategy, a simple hard drive failure isn't just an inconvenience; it's a liability that costs thousands in lost billable hours.
Our Strategy: The 3-2-1 Gold Standard
To ensure your business is resilient against everything from hardware fatigue to natural disasters, we implement the 3-2-1 Backup Rule:
- 3 total backups - Redundancy is your best friend.
- 2 different media types - Storing data in different formats protects against systemic failure.
- 1 off-site and immutable copy - One version of your data lives in a secure, unchangeable cloud environment, isolated from local disasters.
Don’t Wait for the Click of Death
