We help businesses face data loss, network downtime, and cyberattack with confidence.

The Importance of Reliable Data Back-Ups

Data loss can deal a catastrophic, often fatal blow to a small or midsized business. Not only is there a direct loss of productivity — which can continue for days or weeks — there are other significant, often overlooked expenses, like hiring a team to help restore your systems, reputational damage, and lost business opportunities.

What Makes an Effective Back-up and Disaster Recovery System?

Disaster recovery isn’t a solution that you simply install and forget about, it takes careful planning, configuration, and maintenance to ensure that all your systems are receiving the right protections.

We have a documented process for BDR design and deployment that’s been helping businesses throughout Ohio discover greater dependability for over 20 years.

• Analyze your system to track how production data flows throughout your network.
• Choose the best backup software and solutions on the market for your needs.

• Test and maintain the backups system to ensure it meets your evolving needs.

Backup and Disaster Recovery in the Cloud

The cloud has revolutionized how businesses approach backup and disaster recovery, eliminating the need for secondary data centers and other off-site infrastructure. With a well-designed cloud backup solution from Astute Technology Management you’ll discover not only greater security and stability, but cost efficiency as well,

Successfully manage the complexities of cloud backup and disaster recovery

• Ensure sensitive data is securely encrypted for safe transmission to and from cloud platforms.
• Audit cloud vendors and SLAs to assure they meet your security and back-up needs.
• Manage costs and cloud back-up resources needs as your requirements evolve.

Defend Yourself Against Ransomware and Malware

One of the best tools that you have against the threat of malware, ransomware, and other forms of cyberattack is an effective disaster recovery solution. As the threat of cyberattack continues to rise at small and midsized businesses, it’s important that business leaders make sure they’re ready.

Bounce back from the next ransomware strain with the right BDR solution

• Tune BDR metrics like recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RTO) to meet the recovery requirements of sensitive systems and data.
• Configure cybersecurity protections to ensure back-up systems and data are secure against compromise
• Design a business continuity plan to ensure operations even when ransomware locks you out of your physical hardware

According to disaster recovery leader Datto, 96% of business that have a test back-up solution in place recover from ransomware attack.

How Often Are You Testing Your Data Backups?

It’s essential you regularly test and maintain your disaster recovery system. The reason is that your network is highly dynamic, where users create new data and install new applications every day.

Without regular testing of your back-ups, these systems will naturally fall out of alignment with your goals. This could leave your business open to increased risk of data loss or downtime.
