How do small enterprises choose their own exit strategies?

In the era of commercial technology, IT operation is becoming more and more important for uninterrupted business support and enterprise development. The downtime caused by data loss or unavailability has a greater and greater impact on the operation of enterprises, seriously affecting the interests of enterprises. According to the data of Gartner Group, 2/5 companies can't resume operations after the catastrophe, and another 1/3 went bankrupt within two years. Small and medium-sized enterprises are no exception. They also need to take strong data protection measures to reduce business risks and create greater business value. So, how to choose a data protection scheme suitable for the characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises in the dazzling market?

Criteria for SMEs to choose "guarantee"

As the world's largest provider of open network storage technologies, solutions and products, Hewlett-Packard believes that small and medium-sized enterprises in China are currently facing many practical problems, such as small scale, weak strength, irregular governance, imperfect technical support and lack of professional IT technicians. However, if some medium-sized enterprises still have the traditional IT burden, they need to integrate more complex business processes, so if they want to apply the latest technology in one step, there will be great investment risks. Therefore, the choice of data protection scheme for small and medium-sized enterprises must fully consider these characteristics, so as to invest limited funds in the most suitable scheme for enterprise development. According to the characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises, their data protection scheme should have the following basic characteristics:

? Easy to use, automatic governance:

Small and medium-sized enterprises have few specialized IT managers and lack the necessary funds and technical resources to train employees. Therefore, simplicity and as much automation as possible have become one of the characteristics of data protection schemes for small and medium-sized enterprises. For example, HP's auto-loading tape drive can provide an easy-to-use automatic backup solution for small and medium-sized enterprises, which has the characteristics of automatic backup without manual intervention; HP One-click Disaster Recovery (OBDR) technology enables small and medium-sized enterprises to easily restore the operating system, configuration parameters, applications and data files to the state of tape backup with one click.

? Scalability:

Small and medium-sized enterprises are characterized by great growth. Therefore, the data protection scheme for small and medium-sized enterprises needs strong scalability, and this scalability needs to be upgraded smoothly and simply while protecting the initial investment. This scalability includes the scalability of the product itself and the expansion of upgrading from one storage system to another. For example, HP's tape drive products can support different drive technologies, and users can flexibly choose the products they need according to their own needs. In addition, HP's MSA technology enables users to easily upgrade from traditional direct attached storage (DAS) to SAN.
