Disaster Recovery

As the need for the security of critical data has increased, most imaging centers are now backing up digital images and associated data to limit potential loss and to support data recovery in the event of an unexpected disaster. Although an intelligent investment backup and disaster recovery can significantly increase the portion of a facilities budget that is used on Information Technology resources.

“Of companies that had a major loss of computerized records 43% never reopen, 51% close within two years, and only 6% will survive long term. (Cummings, Haag & McCubbrey 2005.)”
