In this week's newsletter we outlined a few simple strategies for protecting your business critical systems during the stormy summer season.

These simple strategies can save you time and money (best case), or perhaps even save your business (worst case).

Inevitably, we will receive a phone call from a client whose surge protecter just wasn't enough to save their PC. They meant to write up a DLP, but just never got around to it. They are missing half of their software, and the most current backup they have is from 6 months ago. This happens more times than not, unfortunately.

We realize that you just don't have time to deal with this stuff. That's where CTC comes into the picture! We can assist you with:

• Writing up your Disaster Recovery Plan
• Documenting your hardware and software
• Documenting your configurations
• Making sure you have a good backup (check out our Online Backup Solutions)
• Doing a thorough assessment of your network and make recommendations on how you can secure it
• Come in once a month for general maintenance (contact us for special, unpublished rates for our Maintenance Plans - we can work within any budget!)
• "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." - Benjamin Franklin

You may have noticed that we have added an additional service for our clients - online backups.

As we did our annual review of CTC's DRP (disaster recovery plan) we decided that now was the time to start backing up online. Previously, online backups were too expensive for our small business. We simply couldn't afford to backup ALL of our data. However, as the market has grown more competitive, so has the pricing structures of online backups. So with that in mind, we came up with four key criteria for choosing an online backup solution:

1.  Security
2.  Ease of Use
3.  Platform and File Support
4.  Affordable

When we decided to go with MozyPro, we knew this would be a service that would benefit our client base, and decided to become an Authorized Reseller of their product. CTC doesn't just partner up with any company! They have to meet our standards of high customer service, high customer value, and affordability. MozyPro is not only met our criteria, but they went 'above and beyond' in their communications with us.

By using state-of-the-art secure technologies, a user-friendly control panel, platform and file support at a very affordable price, we felt MozyPro was the way to go.

If backing up your data online is an option you would like more information on, please contact us. We'll be more than happy to discuss the benefits with you!
