We recently saw Virgin Media launch their super fast fibre optic broad band, with the current growth of the internet it is something the UK must do to be ahead in a technological sense.  As the internet expands its becomes more and more about media and large files being displayed to you. So to effectively view a website in its correct manner you need to have great speeds.

If we think about ten years back and consider that we were all using dial up connections, if we were currently still using it then we probably could not view things such as YouTube videos and download files. But at the moment broadband does let us do all of this at quite reasonable speeds.

BT on the other hand though are now presuming about the future and have said that they will be looking to install next generation fibre optic cables throughout the UK. Ofcom has announced that it will not regulate BT’s pricing for next-generation broadband to enable the telecoms giant to make the necessary investment in fibre-optic cabling.

I presume that when this does get rolled out it will begin to be quite pricey for a few years; we all remember how much dial up used to be when it was first released and then how much broadband was. But I ultimatley do feel that this could be seen as a very good move by BT.I do think that although the cables will cost almost £3 billion to install BT will make it back in no time.

When you are dealing with an unexpected data loss of within a company the effect and severity of the data loss will of course depend on a number of factors, these being which system has failed, what data has been lost, how many employees are accessing the data on a hourly basis.

If a main raid server has gone down and this is used to house the company’s customer relationship management software then quite literally business can stop , especially if the CRM system is principally used for sales or the company employs a large sales force.

The effect of a data loss will affect companies in different degrees so a larger corporation may suffer from a great cost due to the loss but a smaller company may struggle to survive the effects or may simply not have the cash flow in place to cope with a potentially very expensive recovery.

With the ever increasing reliance on IT most business owners will have started to become reasonably educated about the need for a disaster recovery plan for their business, and plans may have already been put in place but this does not make the system infallible as if the plan has note yet been tested, or has not been implemented which often happens if a business waits for suitable window if a server needs upgrading for example, then the company will still be open to risk.

The net effect of a data loss emergency can simply cost thousands and for large corporations tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands. The actual cost will course depend on the type of business involved and costs can be both tangible or intangible for example: the cost of lost sales can be easily measured by comparing a previous days trading.

This can be a useful yard stick to justify the return of investment in a business continuity plan so for example if a business was clearing only 2k in sales per hour then a days downtime could result in a gross loss of 16k in sales alone.

Obviously this would scale up or down depending on the business affected. Other costs that can be factored in could also include the actual cost of recovery, legislative fines due to failure to hold critical business data and of course future sales if essential client records have been lost.

As well as measurable costs a company also need to factor intangibles into any return on investment or risk reduction calculation. Typical factors here could include activities such as re-population of customer CRM systems, additional management costs and business costs of running temporary as opposed to automated IT systems etc.

Another critical factor that should never be overlooked in the event of a data emergency is the restoration of the data. In many cases data can be irrevocably lost due to bungled attempts at recovery by inexperienced IT technicians.

Also if you are employing the services of one of the  raid data recovery companies you need to check their potential methodology and ensure they will not work on the actual donor disks as it is crucial to keep the main data source intact at all times.

Specialist business continuity providers will have strict protocols in place to ensure the absolute integrity of the source data. Working on the original data hard drives should simply not be an option because if the file structure or data is compromised in any way then your business could experience total data loss.
