Why Hard Drive Data Recovery is Not Enough

Many IT professionals focus on server and data recovery when developing a disaster recovery plan. This may include internal redundant drives, backups and offsite backups.

However, hard disk data recovery alone is not enough. Even if the data is safe, the data isn’t useful because it is not accessible.

When computers are down, so is business productivity. That’s why there needs to be processes in place for recovering the OS and applications both locally and from the server.

In the event of a disaster, with Persystent Software solutions, employees can still work locally on their PCs (including mobile workers), giving IT the time to focus on the network.

Persystent Software solutions ensure that end-user desktop and laptop computers are always available and fully functional. With Persystent, IT departments will recover quickly from disasters and proactively control PC damage, regardless of the cause, on or off the network, even if the OS cannot engage.

A good example of a PC disaster is virus corruption. By simply rebooting the system, either automatically or on demand, Persystent returns the PC to its desired, clean recovery point. It eliminates the need for manual PC reimaging while preserving user data and settings during the restoration process. All software patches and updates are kept intact.
