Data Loss… Coming soon to a Hard Drive near you!

During the time it takes you to read this, the data on your hard drives would have come a little closer to being lost forever. Sorry about the reality check, but hard drive failure is the largest single reason for such data loss today. Normal everyday use will result in mechanical failures, as the physical components of the device itself begin to wear or malfunction. Also fluctuations in the electricity supply can cause electronic failures causing the printed circuit board (PCB) to produce errors.

The firmware built into the hardware device itself may become damaged or corrupt over the normal passage of time.. So whether we like it or not data loss is inevitable. But there’s more, you may also be denied access to the data on your disk due to ‘drive read instability’ caused by media corruption or degradation.

Software corruption and human error (such as accidental deletion) are also culprits that can rob you of your life’s work, literally in seconds. We have not even gotten started on lightening strikes, natural disasters, industrial accidents and other eventualities of life. Our experiences in the IT/ICT world conclude; there are two types of people in this world, those who have lost data and those who will. Everyone needs to back up his Data!

Our Infrastructure

  1. Physical data warehousing (Media e.g. Tapes CD etc)
  2. Warm Data warehousing (via Internet connection)
  3. Hot Data Backup site

This three-tier approach ensures the interest of a wide cross section of clients ranging from John and Jane Public who may wish to backup their home data, to corporate clients in pursuit of comprehensive Business Continuity Planning.

Our Data Redundancy
