At Pentana Solutions, we are committed to keeping our client’s valuable business information safe and secure. It is our priority to remind our customers, particularly those who are operating in high risk areas, about disaster preparation and prevention procedures that should be implemented into dealerships. Below we have shared vital information that will assist you in protecting your business from potential risks that have the ability to inhibit your daily business operations.

Our ability to recover data on your server:

So, what can you do to ensure your dealership is able to get back up on its feet in the unfortunate event of a disaster? If your dealership currently doesn’t use our Cloud Computing solution and are independently managing their own back-up tapes and servers, it is important to ensure the upkeep of regular data updates. We suggest that dealerships keep between 12 to 14 in cycle back-up tapes in their servers at one time, updating them at minimum on a monthly basis. It is also very important to keep these back-up tapes safely stored at an off-site location where they cannot be damaged or lost so that they can easily be accessed and recovered in the event of an emergency. It is vital to remember, if all of the document back-up processes are performed correctly within your dealership, we should be able to access and recover all of your important documents if needed; however, we have no control over the quality of your back up procedures. For this reason, it is your dealership’s responsibility to make sure that documents are adequately kept up to date.

Our Cloud Computing back-up solution:

With your business operating at a fast pace, the replacement of hardware and upkeep of back-up tapes can sometimes become an overwhelming obligation. At Pentana Solutions, we have recognised this concern and have integrated a Cloud Computing solution to resolve it. With Pentana Solutions’ Cloud Computing, we offer your dealership with a flexible back-up solution that secures all important business information automatically for you. This means that you will no longer have the burden of replacing your hardware or maintaining your updates and back up data. With our Cloud Computing solution, the concern over what to do in the case of hardware failure or loss will no longer be a thought.

Whether you have opted to store your business information on an independent server, or to secure it on our Cloud Computing system, our solutions are certified to be able to recover your information in the event of an emergency.
