Can hosted services aid disaster recovery?A hosted exchange may be beneficial to businesses in the event of problems with their IT network, it has been suggested.Published on MyBroadband, an article advises that companies must always have strategic backup plans in place to ensure they are fully prepared for any eventuality. This could include strains on the power supply, especially if a large event is taking place nearby that may drain resources. Gina Santos, distribution account manager for southern Africa at APC by Schneider Electric, explained disasters can have a "significant impact" on businesses, resulting in damaged hardware as well as lost data. "This is especially true for individuals and small to medium businesses who may not have taken the time to prepare a disaster plan to combat this type of issue," she added. Hosted services may be a way for enterprises to ensure information is not sacrificed. Meanwhile, Edd Dawson, managing director of broadband.co.uk, recently claimed that faster broadband speeds could benefit business communication, although these services may be affected by competition within the industry. ![]() |
