Does Disaster Recovery Keep You Up at Night? Sleep Easy with SleepEZ from BTS Technologies
November 17th, 2024 by Roger Wentowski
As a business owner or manager, you lie awake at night worrying about protecting your critical data and keeping your operations running in the face of a potential disaster. Data loss can ruin a company - in fact, a staggering 80% of businesses that suffer a catastrophic data loss go out of business within a year. Why is the fallout so devastating?
For most companies, their data is the lifeblood of the organization. Customer records, financial data, intellectual property, employee records, proprietary information - it's all invaluable information that represents years of hard work, significant investment, and the very core of your business. Lose that precious data, and you may as well start locking the doors and closing up shop for good. Your vendors and employees will know how much you owe them, but good luck trying to recover billing history, contracts, accounts receivable records, and all the other essential data you need to keep operating. It's a nightmare scenario waiting to happen if you aren't properly prepared.
The Reality of Data Disasters
Unfortunately, many businesses fail to take comprehensive data protection seriously until it's too late. They may have basic backup systems in place, but lack a cohesive, robust disaster recovery plan for dealing with major events like server failures, hardware corruption, fires, floods, hurricanes, cyberattacks like ransomware or malware infections, human errors leading to accidental data loss, and other potential disasters.
Having simple file backups alone isn't enough to ensure business continuity. Imagine this scenario: your entire office facility is devastated by a flood or fire, and you have to start over at a new location. You have a backup drive with your files but no working servers, infrastructure, or environments to actually use and access that data. You and your team gather around, staring helplessly at that useless external hard drive. How can you possibly get back up and running quickly? Do you have to go through the incredibly costly and time-consuming process of purchasing and configuring a completely new set of servers and systems with the exact same specifications just to read and restore those backups? Every passing day of downtime is compounding the catastrophic losses.
Or let's say it's a simpler but still major issue like a key server failure or ransomware attack. Okay, maybe you can get replacement hardware more easily in that case. But how many days or even weeks of downtime and lost productivity will that involve as you scramble to reconfigure and restore everything? Scrambling to get operational again after such an event requires an immense amount of time, effort, and unplanned expenses. Every hour of downtime translates into lost revenue, disrupted operations, missed deadlines, damaged professional reputation, and diminished customer confidence.
There's a Better Way with SleepEZ from BTS Technologies
At BTS Technologies, we understand the nightmare of trying to recover from devastating data loss and prolonged downtime on your own.

Why Downtime is a Nightmare
Every hour of unplanned downtime is far more than just lost employee productivity. Operational disruptions and systems being down can potentially:
- Prevent new orders from being received and processed
- Stop you from delivering products, services or support to your customers
- Completely interrupt communications like email and voice systems
- Delay invoices from being sent out, stopping cash flow
- Damage your professional brand reputation and customer loyalty
With SleepEZ BDR, you avoid these costly disruptions that can potentially devastate your business. Our solutions are designed to create a simple, one-click restore process to get you back up and running rapidly after any incident. You'll have complete peace of mind and data confidence knowing your backups are continuously monitored, secured, and ready to go at a moment's notice.
Affordable Data Protection is Possible
We understand that implementing a comprehensive, enterprise-grade business continuity solution may sound like a major investment - but can you truly afford not to protect your business? The costs and impacts of downtime, data loss, and operational disruption are far greater than the investment in a proven BDR tool like SleepEZ.
In fact, BTS Technologies strives to keep powerful business continuity affordable for organizations of all sizes. Our SleepEZ lineup includes solutions perfect for small businesses up through midsize companies and enterprises, along with flexible subscription pricing plans to fit any IT needs and budget.
