Were you aware that companies that aren't able to resume operations within ten days of a [natural] disaster are not likely to survive (Source: Strategic Research Institute, Jan. 2002.)?
And if you think your firm doesn’t need to think about natural disasters, consider the happenings of just the last decade. There’s been Hurricane Katrina (2005), the Haiti Earthquake of 2010, the Indonesia Tsunami of 2004, and the blistering U.S. and European snowstorms of 2010-2011.
Natural catastrophes happen more often than most companies are prepared for. And when they hit, they can bring business to a screeching halt because of diminished employee productivity. This leads to lost revenue, brand damage and possibly even lost customers.
Enter virtualization.
Virtualized printing options like Citrix XenDesktop can not only help your firm recover quickly after a natural disaster, it can help you better prepare before catastrophe strikes.
Two Critical Components of any Disaster Preparedness Plan
Accessibility and Continuity: One critical component of any disaster plan is accessibility and continuity – across the board. Employees must be able to access data remotely, for they may be unable to come to the office or have access to their pre-configured company laptops.
Fluid Setup: IT must be able to quickly and easily set up new users. This includes being able to track access, grant appropriate rights and restore previous configurations. All of this helps to maintain the above-mentioned continuity.
Citrix XenDesktop helps companies achieve both of these objectives because it virtualizes all of a user’s desktop, not just certain applications. This means that a user can access all of their data via almost any network and with any device.
And, accessing data is safe because Citrix provides enhanced security options that can prevent sensitive information and applications from ever leaving the data center.
As the discussion here illustrates, it’s not a matter of if a disaster will hit, but when. The only question left to answer is, "Are you prepared?"
Citrix XenDesktop can ensure that you are.
David Evans covers business technology and computing topics, from explaining the benefits of network printing to discussing the technical details of Citrix XenDesktop.
