Backing Up Critical Data
With Cloud Computing
Three out of seven businesses that suffer a major data catastrophe, whether by human hands or natural forces, never reopen their doors. PKA can help companies survive loss of critical data that can otherwise sink unprepared businesses.
Companies must be able to document and streamline their data center operations to ensure minimal risk from either human errors or from unexpected disasters. Data centers can be brought down easily from human operator errors, and sensitive or critical data can be easily purged for good if proper backup procedures are not in place. With the latest in technological innovation, companies can take advantage of cloud computing to back up their data and standardize data center operations. Cloud computing involves the management of computing power, data storage, and network administration by a trusted partner or vendor. The effective use of cloud computing can also help businesses move to the front of the pack to stand out from the competition.
While proactive maintenance may slightly increase a company’s operating expenses, the savings in capital far outweigh this slightly higher cost
While proactive maintenance may slightly increase a company’s operating expenses, the savings in capital far outweigh this slightly higher cost. It is well worth paying slightly more in variable operating expenses to avoid major capital projects in the future that will cost exponentially more.
PKA can help its clients define equipment maintenance and replacement procedures, and can help prioritize hardware based on usage and cost. They can help clients appropriately define a maintenance schedule based on their knowledge of many different hardware platforms. As a recognized partner or certified partner of many manufacturers including HP, Cisco, Oracle and Intel, PKA is uniquely positioned to help its clients design and implement those maintenance procedures to avoid significant damaging costs in the future.
The key to properly backing up critical data is
not redundancy of resources, but efficiency of resources
For many companies, the process of backing up data means nothing but redundant servers all operating simultaneously. While this approach may provide peace of mind for the technologically insecure, it does not provide any relief for a company’s bottom line. The key to properly backing up critical data is not redundancy of resources, but efficiency of resources.
A cloud service provider will typically employ a company’s physical resources in a more efficient and effective manner. They will also reduce energy consumption in contrast to a traditional IT approach of servers backing up servers in a redundant manner. PKA can provide top-notch technical expertise on any major operating system and key application, thanks to its portfolio of successful projects for previous clients. It can provide an efficient and cost-effective plan for managing company resources ”both human and technical” in a way that best supports a company’s goals.
PKA works with its clients to define the key applications and operating systems used to meet goals and deadlines. Their devoted consultants ensure that virtual applications and system patterns are developed that actively support existing company processes. Instead of manually recreating systems over and over again, a trusted partner can take on the responsibility of development, which will free up their client’s personnel for more important functions. Furthermore, the partner can also return to the client to ensure that any changes to goals or processes are integrated properly in the management of all applicable technical resources.
With these resources covered, clients can shift their focus towards maximizing what they can get from their human resources instead of constantly worrying about their technical infrastructure. Those responsibilities can be entrusted to a quality partner to free up a client’s focus on more important issues.
By being able to deliver quicker, higher-quality results that exceed customers’ expectations, a company can gain a competitive advantage over its chief rivals
With processes defined and systems appropriately managed, companies can turn instead to delivering and surpassing their customers’ expectations. By having the required computing resources on hand when needed, and ensuring the dependability of those resources, a company can ensure that fewer man-hours and fewer employees are needed to deliver projects within the IT department and across the rest of the company. By being able to deliver quicker, higher-quality results that exceed customers’ expectations, a company can gain a competitive advantage over its chief rivals.
PKA helps companies gain that competitive advantage over rival firms. Its consultants will advise their clients regarding site preparation and development to ensure that designed processes and procedures are fully entwined within the new cloud computing hierarchy. Through the startup, integration and fine-tuning of these systems, PKA works hand-in-hand with its clients to ensure that nothing is left to chance. The company helps guide clients through all the nuances of application and operating system conversion, data migration and storage, and remote systems management. PKA’s consultants also make sure that, should a disaster strike, mission-critical data is not lost and the company can get back on its feet in no time. PKA’s dedicated service teams will ensure that no error or disaster will upend a company’s core operations.
As companies struggle to get ahead of the competition, every error and problem will be magnified. With the help of a trusted partner, companies can minimize these risks to their wellbeing, and ensure their data is safeguarded and well-protected. PKA is the partner that can bring their clients that peace of mind knowing those risks are minimized.
