On-Site Backup
The importance of a high quality, automated backup system
cannot be overstated. All hardware fails at some
point. The real question is how quickly can you
recover? Often the key to that question is how good is
your backup system? iTechPro deploys automated image
based backup systems that enable restoration of one file or
the entire server to different, bare-metal hardware.
These images can also be converted to fully functional
virtual machines that can be deployed quickly while the
server is fixed or new hardware is acquired.
Off-Site Backup
Having your data in more
than one location is always a good idea because sometimes
unfortunate events beyond our control do happen. Fire,
flood, hurricanes and tornados can wipe out everything,
including your backups, at your business location. While
there is much to consider in any Disaster Recovery Strategy,
one key component involves moving backups made on-site to
other off-site locations or uploading them to cloud storage
services for safe keeping. iTechPro can assist to
establish a Disaster Recovery Strategy that has the goal of restoring the ability to do business as
quickly as possible.
Viruses and
Spyware
In a business environment where many
computers are used, it pays to have centrally managed antivirus and antispyware
software. This software is installed on the
server and allows monitoring, alerting,
updating and scanning of every computer on
the network from the administration console
installed on the server. This saves a huge amount
of time and ensures that no machine is
overlooked thereby creating a weak point in
your corporate network. In addition,
if you have a mail server in house,
most viruses can be removed from email at
the mail server and before they make it to
each individual inbox. This removes from
the end user the responsibility to make good
decisions about opening or not opening
questionable incoming mail.
Data Security
Personal Storage Devices
(Flash Drives, External Hard Drives), Email, Cloud Storage
Services, Remote Access,
Social Networking Services, Mobile Phones, iPods, iPads and
other tablets, and many other devices are all avenues for
potential virus transmittal or data theft. iTechPro
can provide ways to control and limit the use of
personal use
software, personal email accounts, web browsing and personal storage devices that pose security risks.
Password Policy
iTechPro can assist to establish company policy regarding strong
passwords and then implement policy enforcement via software
configuration.
