Computer data, like physical documents, are susceptible to damage. In fact, digital media is perhaps comparatively more vulnerable to destruction than its tangible counterpart. This is because it is not only affected by physical hardware damage, but also corruption that can occur seemingly without any reason or warning. It is unfortunate that the reality of digital information storage is that it will perhaps never be immune to these inherent risks, due to its nature of construction. Data management is therefore essential to company security.

In the corporate world, loss of company information can often be a major blow, whether it be previous project archives, financial data, or important client information. In such an event, recovery of the company’s information becomes wholly reliant on the prearranged protocols that were established. If such strategies were poorly set up or ignored entirely, the destroyed data could be lost forever. Therefore, anticipatory data storage management strategies are absolutely essential for the protection of a company’s information. Historically, ignoring data storage protocols can lead to devastating effects on business continuity in the event of ransomware attacks, cryptovirus infections, and malware attacks.

GigE provides a wide variety of data management services, which are able to cover all bases when it comes to data protection. These range from the local backup of important files on locally kept external hard drives, to the provision of cloud-based remote storage for your company at our secure and stable location. Our expert technicians have over 30 years of experience working in IT backup strategies. We help you audit, design, and maintain your data backup protocols.

What is backup process engineering?

A company’s livelihood hinges on its perceived reliability in the eyes of its customers. This trust relies on the ability for an organization to perform efficiently without failure regardless of time and place. However, the real world is plagued with unpredictable circumstances, from minor daily incidents that inconvenience workflow, to catastrophic disasters that lead to a complete productive halt. In the I.T. world, these can include anything from erratic software malfunctions, to inevitable hardware damage, to irreversible data loss, all of which severely inhibit any company’s ability to maintain the integrity it so tirelessly tries to establish.

Backup process engineering (BPE) is the design of preventive and reparative strategies that attempt to counter the unavoidable uncertainty when it comes to I.T. software and equipment, through effective and tried methods of data protection and recovery. Much like how no two companies are identical, each backup strategy will also depend on specific I.T. needs presented by a company’s technical infrastructure.
