Security
Image Backups
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In the world of computer data,
that statement is most relevant. Applications have recently been released that
reduce workstation downtime from a disaster to 20 minutes on an average desktop.
This product provides the tools needed to back
up your workstation's hard drive image to your server, and using one diskette to
re-image from the server. And if all of your computers have the same basic setup,
one image on the server could serve as back up to all of your workstations. Any
custom configuration could be carried on from there.
If MicroAge creates an individual image for each PC, employees could insert their
image diskette and have themselves up-and-running in a half-hour.
Backup & Restore
Many organizations execute their backups religiously, but have never tested whether
the restore procedure works correctly. In fact the vast majority of companies do not
verify their logs to ensure that their backups are even working correctly. Offering
backup/restore planning, implementation, testing, and ongoing verification procedures
may well be the lowest cost, most effective insurance policy that MicroAge provides
to its customers.
Disaster Planning
How likely is it that disaster could touch your company? If you think of disaster
only in terms of natural disasters or massive hardware failures, then disaster might
not seem very close at hand. If, however, you consider disaster in terms of anything
that could stop the company from functioning for an undetermined length of time,
then the notion of disaster is more common. The disasters that could slow or stop
your company are not limited to network or data-related problems or even to events that
happen at your site.
No one likes to think about the possibility of the network or the file server going down
indefinitely, but it's better to dwell on this depressing possibility beforehand than to
explain afterward to the boss why you weren't prepared for data loss.
Disaster Recovery
Lost data, lost time, lost business, the costs of a network crash are astonishing.
Limiting these losses is the aim of MicroAge's Disaster Recovery Planning. From built-in
redundancy to efficient data backup and recovery, your disaster plan must be meticulously
planned.
MicroAge can build your computer network into an information fortress: mirroring hard
drives and installing power supplies that switch on the fly. We also install the best
in tape back-up and DAT solutions and provide software allowing one button restoration
of data.
The last thing you want is for your network to crash. So before it does, the first place
you want to call is MicroAge.
Virus Protection
How vulnerable are you to a virus? How about your server and workstations? Virus
protection's importance to businesses is at its peak. Virus producers are finding more
effective ways to take down your network systems.
The "I Love You" virus is a highly publicized case. The virus author created a script
(using Visual Basic) which when enacted affected the host system and then replicated
itself and distributed the same message to everyone in your Microsoft outlook address book.
Everyone receiving this message would in turn send the virus to everyone in his or her
address book. It is a "they told two friends and they told two friends and so on and so
on..." of dangerous proportions.
Millions of affected computers screeched to a halt that day, many networks had to be
taken off-line, and millions of dollars were lost. By purchasing anti-virus protection
for your network and allowing timely updates, you can reduce the risk you will be the
victim of the next I Love You.
Virus inoculators like Computer Associates, Symantec and McAfee are charged with
producing the "innoculation" for your computers. They create virus engines that
identify viruses, patterns and virus-like activity within your
workstations or servers. It is up to you to use the tools they've created to reduce
your risks and losses. The sooner you begin to protect your network the better.
Call MicroAge now to have an assessment done on your virus protection needs.
