<\/span>Lack of a Data Backup Plan is one of the Single Biggest Risks for Businesses<\/span><\/h4>\n

(Ann Arbor, MI \u2013 April 27, 2009)<\/strong> Dynamic Edge announced today that they have selected Online Tech as their offsite backup partner for their Fixed IT managed service program for small and mid-size businesses.<\/p>\n

Dynamic Edge has already begun offering clients the new offsite backup services exclusively to Online Tech’s SAS 70 audited Michigan data centers.<\/p>\n

“Having the ability to electronically backup data to an offsite, secure data center fills a growing need in the market” states Bruce McCully, CEO of Dynamic Edge. As part of Dynamic Edge’s Fixed IT solution, Dynamic Edge is able to securely send client’s data over the Internet to one of Online Tech’s data centers. The client’s data is then backed up at a separate physical location (offsite backup) that can be recovered in the case of a disaster.<\/p>\n

The lack of backup data is one of the single biggest risks for businesses when a disaster strikes. A 2006 Gartner study suggests that 40% of businesses that lose their data go out of business within 5 years of the loss. That’s because more and more businesses are critically dependent on their data and software for their fundamental operations.<\/p>\n

The partnership between Dynamic Edge and Online Tech began at a retreat for the leaders of “Michigan 50 Companies to Watch.” The Michigan 50 Companies to Watch Awards are presented each year to high-performing, second-scategorye companies in the state of Michigan.<\/p>\n
