Is Your Business Concerned About Uptime?

As a small business owner you should worried about uptime.  In fact, it might be
 one of your major concerns.  If your computer systems aren't up and running, then
you are experiencing lost productivity, increased costs, lower levels of customer
service, reduced employee morale and other problems you really don't have time to
deal with.  So what can you do about it? Plenty and GCInfotech can guide you each
step of the way.

Many organizations start by completing an inventory of their IT equipment with the
goal of identifying your Single Points of Failure (SPOFs).  GCInfotech can work 
with you on the inventory and identify your single points of failure, then devise
a plan to implement corrective actions.  We'll look at each component to determine
if the failure of that device could cause an impact to your operations.  For example,
if you only have one hard drive storing important company data, you have a single
point of failure

.

Once we have identified your SPOFs, the next step is to perform a business risk 
analysis [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001C54v9O9Y-4PO9Tph5sphIFFP34Uxt1ZzrOSv5uBXVU9sjABg9ufTPgyXUb22iEVhgYU7-W4JVkQ59wsWXu1XQOJpb5GLt0iqo6vo47Wxcn8RD6ubP_fW-GYb29UarwUoZGoIfksr6A6E_YFBMBkrhwXLtKf0QvbgiIYKK_wcn-Y-TTg0WdmkEUj8F8Q51_mlWnvO5DnTJy3lAHr5IJoJSO4x4GE5ek20a0-Wl70eRng=&c=JciBFjAT7KyQBKvN0kdOUfS8NW25c6t0jNLddx14p56_tTvBbIKBLw==&ch=DGIww7An1CcsCIRLFsQ2157xcbWwxiFptGIIGqQJESuBf8cm71dFuA==]
of your equipment, systems, employees, and procedures.  We will make sure to include
your email, operating systems and software applications.  The business risk analysis
will identify the impact to your organization should you experience a specific IT
related failure. For example, what is the impact to your organization should your
internet connect go down or a printer stop functioning?

The business risk analysis examines time and its impact to your organization.  At
what point does having your printer down move from low priority to medium to high?
 Maybe you can last a couple of days without a printer or perhaps even weeks if 
you have other printers in your office.  If internet connectivity is important to
you, and you only have one line, it may be high priority from the first hour of 
downtime.

Now that you have a business risk analysis and inventory of your IT equipment, the
last step is a plan to build in redundancy and/or replacement.  In the printer down
example, you may be able to shift printing from the down device to another printer
in your office.  If internet connectivity is critical, as it is with most businesses
today, you may need to install a second line.  A RAID system may help protect you
from a hard drive failure or, you might need mirrored (identical) systems in different
parts of the country.

If reliability and uptime is important to you as it is with most small businesses,
identifying your Single Points of Failure is your first step to increasing confidence
in your computer systems.
