A desire to improve disaster preparedness among Singapore SMBs has played a part in adopting virtualization, cloud computing and mobile computing.

Increasingly IT is relying on Cloud and virtualization, bringing up data protection and DR challenges. In this paper, IDC shows how an integrated data protection and DR approach can help.

Andrew Martin, vice president of Asia Pacific at BakBone Software, cautions against the common myths associated with backup.

It is now possible for SMBs to utilize many of the same powerful IT capabilities once exclusive to larger organizations. But when it comes to disaster recovery it is critical they consider the implications to DR planning to avoid costly risk to their systems and data.

Latest Symantec survey finds that SMBs are not making disaster preparedness a priority until they experience a disaster or data loss. The cost of not being prepared is as high as going out of business.
