Knowing that an IT disaster could strike at any time and planning accordingly is critical to providing companies a chance to survive after such a crisis. Businesses of all sizes require enterprise-class IT reliability to effectively conduct business. Because SAP Business One availability is a crucial component, the need for companies to have a thorough disaster recovery model is essential.

Faulkner Information Services compellingly found that 50 percent of companies that lose their data due to disasters go out of business within 24 months, while the U.S. Bureau of Labor indicates that 93 percent are out of business within five years.

Backup and business operational continuity for SAP Business One is an expensive investment. In addition to the duplicate hardware and software expenses, you need a knowledgeable IT team to ensure that your systems are full-proof and that you can continue day-to-day operations while recovering your systems.

BACKUP AND RECOVERY
With Guardian Enterprise Suite, backups are performed automatically and continuously, so data is protected as it is created. Guardian provides fully automated backups over the Internet, for uninterrupted enterprise productivity. Data is moved off-site to our secure data centers without manual IT intervention. At every step — from the moment it leaves your server until it is safely stored in our remote data centers — your data is completely secure and protected, using stringent procedures, protocols, and standards. Guardian encrypts all data at the source using 256-bit AES encryption with a unique key that only you know. For an additional layer of protection, the server backup and recovery solution uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to establish a secure, resilient communication tunnel to the off-site data centers. Even recovery is automated. You select the data to recover from a catalog of archived file versions, and Guardian automatically restores the data to your location. With Guardian, the time you save on backup and recovery lets you focus on more mission-critical projects for your business.

OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY
As a Guardian customer, you receive a virtual SAP Business One environment at one of our data centers to use should a situation arise where your company cannot access Business One. Guardian monitors, selects, and transmits data specific to your SAP Business One installation. If your systems go down, you can recover and run your critical operations on the virtual environment while recovering your local systems.
