•
0 likes•488 views
A survey of small businesses found that 41% had lost or accidentally deleted data from their computers. The top causes of data loss were hardware or software failures (31%), accidental deletions (17%), and computer viruses (9%). In response, many small businesses back up their data using external hard drives, CDs/DVDs, or flash drives. However, 31% find existing backup methods a hassle. To address this, Carbonite developed affordable cloud backup plans starting at $229 per year to provide small businesses predictable, unlimited backup storage.

British sm es risk data loss & downtime due
A survey of IT managers at UK small and medium enterprises found that one third store their data backups on-site, putting their business operations at risk. Less than half back up data off-site in secure data centers. The average cost of downtime for SMEs is £27,000 per hour, reaching six figures for larger companies. Only 16% of businesses are confident in their disaster recovery procedures and many have flaws in their backup and data protection methods. Storing backups off-site in cloud services can reduce risks but many SMEs remain wary of security and providers' procedures.

24 remote work statistics to watch out for in 2022
In the past, the idea of working from home was admired by many but adapted by only a few. The long-built habit of going to the office to work was so strong that organizations barely adapted to remote work culture despite growing technology. But COVID-19 did its job, and the time to embrace remote and hybrid teams is here!
The Impact of Digital Work Instructions and Checklists

Presentation
Green computing aims to support environmental and social responsibility in addition to financial performance. It focuses on improving energy efficiency, promoting recyclability, and reducing hazardous materials. Existing programs like ENERGY STAR and EPEAT establish standards for energy efficiency and the life cycle of electronic products. A case study found that a government data center saved energy by restricting employee access at nights and weekends without compromising security or oversight through remote maintenance. However, e-cycling programs have high costs and only 50% of usable electronics are recycled, with 70-80% shipped overseas without proper disposal methods.
Risk & Compliance Outlook 2011
Evalueserve and McAfee conducted this study in 2011 to highlight how IT decision-makers view the challenges of risk and compliance management in a highly regulated and increasingly complex global business environment. The research investigates how organizations address both risk and compliance, which are so inextricably interrelated. Research was aimed to forward looking, revealing companies’ plans for refining and automating their programs in 2011 and beyond. Significant portions of IT budgets is being spent on risk and compliance management and the spending is only expected to grow in the future.
Green IT
Green IT refers to using computing resources in an environmentally sustainable way by directly reducing the carbon footprint of an organization's computing operations. Some key issues in Green IT include a lack of transparency in ICT energy costs, material demands of hardware production, and insufficient understanding of ICT lifecycles. Green IT also faces challenges like ICT emissions accounting for an estimated 2-3% of global emissions by 2020, and up to a quarter of PCs being left on 24/7 while servers run idle using 60% of power. Potential solutions involve installing power management software, data center refits, making green IT departments responsible for power bills, and recognizing green IT as a solution rather than a problem.

With greater connectedness to their IT infrastructures, workers can access digital assets from any connected device, at any time of day, and automatically disseminate changes across devices. Additionally, the ability to share files with cloud-connected colleagues facilitates collaboration without regard to geographic location, the only prerequisite being a connection to the Internet.
The increased use of mobile devices and cloud-based file services for business tasks—commonly referred to as “enterprise mobility”—is responsible for a 34% increase in worker productivity, and an additional 240 hours of work performed per worker, per year. No doubt, the upside potential resides with proper implementation. For best results, file synchronization and sharing platforms should be used for productivity and collaboration; they’re ill suited to the task of backing up critical business data.
In this white paper, we’ll highlight the key features of file synchronization and sharing platforms, and data backup for business. We’ll also examine how an all-in-one solution can support both enterprise mobility and business continuity for small and medium businesses (SMBs).
