Despite the obvious destruction around us, we were never worried about the safety and availability of the data we protect using Storage Guardian

In today's changing world - both political and environmental - businesses all over North America have had to pay more attention to developing their disaster recovery solutions. It is no longer good enough to simply take home backup tapes, thinking that a fire is about the worst case scenario if you live in the northern part of the U.S. or in Canada.
Hurricane Sandy of 2012 ripped through the U.S. East Coast and devastated much of New Jersey and New York, with other states also declaring a state of emergency.
With Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy having made their mark on the U.S., there is no telling whether or not this will be a more common reality.
One Manhattan-based outsourced IT Services organization managed to escape the monumental physical damage the city incurred, but was without power for almost 21 days, a crippling blow to any business. Not only that, the CEO of the company had also lost power at home so he couldn't operate from his home office either.
Thankfully, NY Tech Central has been a reseller of Storage Guardian solutions for almost seven years and therefore was never concerned about data.
"Despite the obvious destruction around us, we were never worried about the safety and availability of the data we protect using Storage Guardian", says Wilfred Sessoms of NY Tech Central.
"We have always had a very high level of comfort with Storage Guardian, and this disaster only solidified that. With the help of Storage Guardian, we suffered no data loss and were back in business as soon as the power came back. There are never any issues and we feel they offer an excellent service."
