Catastrophes and unplanned interruptions do occur and can be very costly. In fact, 90 percent of businesses that lose data from a disaster are forced to close within two years. 80 percent of businesses without a well-structured recovery plan are forced to close within 12 months of a flood or fire. As if these numbers alone did not show the value in backing up one’s data, many companies are now requiring that their suppliers have disaster recovery processes in place in order to do business with them. Essentially, having a disaster recovery program is becoming more and more vital to achieving business longevity.

Datotel provides high availability colocation services for primary datacenter and disaster recovery environments. Our team can work with you to design a program that fits with your needs and your budget.

Plus, Datotel’s St. Louis based colocation facility offers more available space than most other colocation providers in the region.
