Is Your Las Vegas Colocation Rolling the Dice on Business Continuity?

Sponsored by DataCenterLeadGen.com

The business world of the twenty-first century dictates that companies with a web presence operate 24-7


and have solid backup and recovery processes in place


Protecting Access to Mission-Critical Data


Las Vegas colocation centers specialize in continuity solutions that allow business systems to remain available at all times


Inspecting a Las Vegas Colocation Center


When you check out a colocation facility in Las Vegas,


ask the management about security protocols for the following:


• People- Are employees put through a criminal background check and subjected to drug testing?


• All physical, digital, and virtual assets- How are they protected against operational failure or cyber-attacks?


• Perimeter security-Are perimeter portals monitored?


• Zone access security-What does it take for someone to access your company’s assets?


• Hardware transportation-What is the chain of custody process for anything that enters or leaves the colocation center?


Avoid Becoming a Statistic


The Business Continuity Institute (BCI) warns that 25% of compromised businesses lacking a continuity plan never reopen


Other figures from the BCI suggest that nearly 80% of affected companies that fail to get back on their feet within a month


are more likely to go out of business forever


A study conducted by the United States Department of Homeland Security drew a similar conclusion


Three-quarters of businesses that restart without a business continuity plan will fail within three years


On the other hand, 82% of companies that had a continuity plan in place and experienced a disaster said that the plan mitigated damage
