By: Joseph Muscarella, Network/Telecom Manager, Duralee

Today’s small business is about fighting for every inch of success, and finding ways to use your time and resources wisely. For 60 years Duralee Fabricshas been working hard to grow from a one-room shop to a thriving provider of fabrics and furniture to businesses around the world. As we have grown, so have our IT needs. With all the resources we have invested in, it was important for us to make sure we didn’t lose all the headway we have made in the event of a disaster.

We needed to establish a disaster recovery center that would enable us to quickly recover our servers if something bad happened. And to reduce the chances of that happening, we needed to secure our workstations and servers from a wide variety of threats. We had an antivirus solution in place, but we were having a hard time seeing what was happening with our showrooms, so we didn’t always know whether viruses were being taken care of.

On the disaster recovery side, we opted to use System Recovery from Symantec. This allowed us to image our production servers and use that image to create the virtual servers in the new DR center. We were then able to automatically replicate our data to that site. To deal with outages of individual servers, we also store those images onsite, which lets us perform bare-metal restores more quickly

We looked at several endpoint security solutions. Our showrooms are only connected to our operations through the internet, so we needed something that could operate through the cloud. That led us to Symantec Endpoint Protection.cloud. It was painless to license, and we were up and running quickly.

Thanks for the Advertisement  LOL

If Symantec is so good, why is it the first thing that is disabled by Virus, and Mal-ware writers? I have found that free Anti-Virus Programs like Avast, and Malware detection programs like Malwarebytes, finds stuff on a computer that Symantec and even McAfee doesn't pickup time and time again.

As for cloud storage there is literately thousands of services available and some that are free to use, so shop around.
