5 Smart Tips To Know Before Moving Your Data To The Cloud

Moving Your Data To The Cloud

Cloud computing is all the rage these days, and while some companies are moving their whole IT infrastructure to the cloud, many others are choosing to streamline their businesses by moving individual business applications.

If you are considering moving your data to the Cloud and any of your company’s software applications, make sure to consider these 5 tips BEFORE pulling the trigger:

1. Back It Up!

Migrating data to any new location is a mess, and anything can (and usually does) go wrong. Therefore, make sure you have good, recent backup copies of everything before you make the move.

 2. Maintain An On-site Copy

At first, moving our data to the cloud can be a bit scary. What can help mitigate the risk (and the fear) is keeping a local, on-site copy of your data and network image on an NAS (network-attached storage) device. That way you have a local on-site copy in addition to the working cloud copy.

 3. Have A “Plan B” To Access The Internet

One of the biggest questions about moving your data to the cloud is “What if the Internet goes down?” To mitigate that fail point, have a business-class Internet connection as your initial and main way to connect, and then also have a second Internet connection service as a backup. If Time Warner Cable is your main connection, you might consider keeping a  AT&T wireless account as a backup.

 4. Use It As An Opportunity To Do Some Housekeeping

You could just copy and paste your files from your local machines into the cloud, but why not take this as an opportunity to reevaluate the structure and organization of that data? Here are some ideas:

– Reevaluate and/or update your file-naming conventions and file organization. A good file-naming policy will make it much easier to find files and information. Also, consider reorganizing all the folders into smarter, more efficient categories.

– Consider who will be using what and what levels of permissions are required to access files. Revisiting your permission levels will help keep sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands.

– Look at old files and consider deleting them or archiving them so they aren’t cluttering up your server and costing you money for storing and backing them up.

 5. Phase The Move 

Don’t try to migrate everything all at once. Create a transition plan and implement it. Make sure you move your files in bite-size pieces so the changes are easy to digest for your clients, employees, partners and everyone else involved. This also gives you the opportunity to test the water before taking the plunge, and it allows you to put out one fire at a time instead of having all systems down or broken.

The Importance of Having Data Backup Solutions

The Importance of Having Data Backup Solutions

Almost all businesses operating today rely on IT to at least some extent. Due to this fact the importance of data backup solutions are fundamental to almost all companies.

A data backup solution doesn’t simply mean taking a copy of your documents every once in a while, it is a fundamental part of day to day business and is something for which you should have a full strategy in place to manage, check and revise your backup process.

The crucial thing to remember about a data backup solution is that it’s one of those things that you very rarely need to call on, but if it doesn’t work on that rare occasion that you do need it, not only is the entire system flawed but it could very well cost you your business.

When you are looking at your backup policies, there are a few things that you should keep in mind on order to have a full proof backup strategy in place for when you need it.

Back up everything

Before you begin backing up your data, you really need to know exactly what critical data you have on your system and what needs to be backed up as well as how. It is good practice to keep a record somewhere of all of your critical business applications, what data they contain, where it is stored and how it should be backed up.

Keep backup history

Keeping a single backup of your data is definitely not sufficient and in some situations keeping 5 days’ worth of backups on rotation is not even sufficient. The reality is that every business is different, and every application has a different requirement when it comes to backup history. It is good practice to look at all of your data, the possible risks to that data and then think about how many revisions of the data you should be keeping. The answers to these questions will create the basis for your backup archiving strategy.

Keep backups off site

Whilst on site backups are great for ease of access and quick restore, it is crucial that you keep at least one set of backups off site in case of a physical disaster that renders any on site IT inaccessible.

Test your backups

All of the above will help you to build a stable and reliable backup strategy, but it is no good without being tested. The nature of backups and the fact that they are not often needed makes testing them even more important, otherwise the day you come to need them you may find that they don’t work as expected.

ONIT Technology Solutions provide data backup solutions in san Antonio and surrounding areas and can advise you on how to implement your backup strategy in a way that insures the safety and integrity of your business critical data.

We provide a wide range of Data Backup Solutions and Cyber Security services in San Antonio as well as, cloud services, computer IT support, network services and data retention plans to get rid of computer problems to businesses throughout south Texas and Schertz, Seguin, Boerne, Canyon Lake, Stone Oak, Universal City, Pleasanton, Castle Hills, Leon Valley, Converse, Shavano Park, Cibolo, Olmos Park, Live Oak, Timberwood Park, New Braunfels.

Cloud Computing for Small Businesses

Cloud Computing for Small Businesses

Everyone is talking about cloud computing at the moment. It really is the latest trend in the world of IT…

– it’s in almost every technology article and news item that you read – but it is also an extremely functional technology that is paving the way for the future of IT.

The arrival of cloud computing is changing the way we do IT and it is opening up an entirely new world for enterprise computing.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the concept of cloud computing, it is basically the provision of computing services via a pool of servers rather than a single computer. To the end user the concept simply means that they are able to use many services from anywhere in the world with very little hardware requirements. For the enterprise, it means the cost of infrastructure is coming down whilst its functionality is increasing – computing is becoming less reliant on expensive hardware and more reliant on software meaning that systems can be easily and cheaply scaled out to any level as required.

How can Small and Medium Businesses afford this?

Where IT was once about expensive hardware and steep and constant learning curves for the IT professionals managing it, this move towards software defined computing is actually extremely beneficial for small businesses.

A look at how email for business is evolving would give a great example of this. Traditionally email services in the enterprise would run on Microsoft Exchange which would need to be installed on site using expensive hardware in the form of an exchange server.

This equipment and software is very expensive, especially for small businesses and also comes with a requirement for constant maintenance and management which also comes at a cost.

Cloud computing has seen the introduction of Microsoft office 365 which is the same enterprise email functionality, running on exactly the same Exchange based server systems, but provided via “the cloud” with no on-site hardware or software requirements and at an extremely low monthly cost.

For small businesses this means exactly the same enterprise functionality with none of the upfront costs, on-going maintenance or upgrade of physical servers and/or software.

Cloud Computing In Other Areas

There are of course many other areas of cloud computing – there are lots of software as a service (SaaS) solutions that can replace existing systems as well as DaaS (desktop as a service) environments that can help to modernise the small business IT landscape, increase functionality dramatically and also reduce capital outlay and on-going maintenance and upgrade costs.

If you are interested in finding out more about how cloud computing can help to modernise your IT and also reduce capital expenditure please contact ONIT Technology Solutions for any Cloud Services in San Antonio.

 Areas Covered

We provide a wide range of Cloud Computing solutions in San Antonio as well as computer IT support, network services and data backup plans to get rid of computer problems to businesses throughout south Texas and Schertz, Seguin, Boerne, Canyon Lake, Stone Oak, Universal City, Pleasanton, Castle Hills, Leon Valley, Converse, Shavano Park, Cibolo, Olmos Park, Live Oak, Timberwood Park, New Braunfels.

Microsoft Hosted Exchange Buyer’s Guide

Microsoft Hosted Exchange Buyer’s Guide

Introduction

Messaging lies at the heart of a business’ ability to communicate, to interact quickly and effectively with everyone from employees and suppliers to clients and prospects.

Yet supporting an on-premise messaging solution absorbs much of a business’ IT dollars. In addition to buying the software, you must expend resources on maintenance, implementation, upgrades, licensing, support and archiving. Downtime – whether scheduled or due to failure or disaster – costs money, disrupts business operations and creates customer dissatisfaction, especially in a world where the vast majority of users check their emails from home, from on the road and after-hours.

Comparing Costs

Although many decision-makers claim on-premise Exchange implementations are less expensive to deploy and operate than Microsoft Hosted Exchange, the opposite is often true.  Just add up the dollars: A 10-person on-premise Exchange solution costs $389.78 vs. $27.00 per seat per month for a Hosted Exchange solution, for a total whopping savings of $362.78 or 93 percent, according to Osterman Research. At 100 users, on-premise costs $37.29 per seat each month compared with a hosted service’s cost of $12.25 for savings of $25.04 or 67 percent. With 1,000 users, on-site costs $20.72 for each seat every month vs. $9.85 for hosted for savings of $10.87 or 52 percent, Osterman Research finds.

It is not surprising then that even some large enterprises are migrating to Microsoft Hosted Exchange: GlaxoSmithKline, for example, is moving its 100,000 users to Hosted Exchange, the giant pharmaceutical company said in March 2009.

There are other savings, too. Because the cost-per-seat is fixed over the contract’s lifetime, your business has a predictable monthly outlay without the risk of unforeseen expenditures. If you support Exchange internally, you must take into account potential disruptive forces such as natural disasters, power outages and office relocations that can add unforeseen costs to your on-premise Exchange management budget.

As you add employees, you run the risk of maxing out your internal infrastructure, forcing you to expend dollars and hours buying and installing servers, storage and other infrastructure to support new hires. Of course, this adds more costs to your existing Exchange budget at a time when you would rather spend IT funds on using technology to solve business challenges.

Finding A Microsoft Hosted Exchange Partner

Having decided to use a Microsoft Hosted Exchange solution, it’s time to research the many providers that will vie for your business.

Like any relationship, you want a true and trustworthy partner with a history of success, of profitability and of adherence to its Service Level Agreements. Speak to existing customers, and ask them about performance, adherence to SLAs, speed of response and technical support. Ensure your list of candidates operates in the black, with money in the bank and a proven business model. In a world of mergers and acquisitions -as well as business closures – it’s important to find a partner with a positive track-record, one that will be around for the long-term as opposed to a start-up facing a steep learning curve, and financial and customer-service challenges.

ONIT Technology Solutions – includes a 99.999 percent uptime guarantee, equivalent to less than six minutes of downtime per year.  Although some companies claim 100-percent uptime, this is unrealistic and generally is viewed as marketing-speak. To support its high-level uptime guarantee, we invest solely in technology from industry-leading vendors such as Cisco and Dell.

In addition to providing 24×7 access to Microsoft Hosted Exchange, your Hosted Exchange Provider should deliver email archiving; ensure continuity; encrypt emails; and protect you from spam, phishing, viruses and other malware. Make sure the solution encompasses mobile devices such as BlackBerries, cell phones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).

Discuss how the service provider migrated other companies from an on-premise Exchange environment or how they worked with a company’s previous hosted Exchange provider. Were there any problems? Does the service provider offer customization? What other value-added services do they offer? For a list of questions to ask your prospective hosted Exchange provider, see the callout box.

ONIT Technology Solutions uses proprietary infrastructure technology that works with Microsoft Exchange to make it easy for businesses to set-up, manage and secure their email. During migration, we guide you through a migration process whose pace you control. Since the migration is conducted over the phone, you can ask questions in real-time. Many other providers use email or knowledge-based instructions for cookie-cutter guidance. WE developed proprietary tools to simplify, automate and streamline migration.

As well as the live migration support, we employ a slew of Microsoft- and RIM-certified Exchange support staff to provide you with complete access to Exchange experts. Many other service providers staff their support lines during regular business hours, even though many users access email at odd and off-hours.

It’s critical that your hosting partner has the resources you need to answer questions, whether during migration, day-to-day operations or in an emergency. All-too-often, hosting providers have a skeleton or non-existent support staff after-hours, often the time at which most problems arise as your end-users try to access Exchange while away from their office.

Conclusion

Just as you scrutinize the providers of your on-premise technology, dig deep into the claims your prospective hosted service providers make. Speaking to existing clients is an invaluable way to gauge providers’ veracity. Asking the hard questions now should create a true partnership that enables hosted Exchange services to live up to its promises.

A Cyber Security Breach? We Are Just A Small Company!

Just Because You’ve Been LUCKY Enough To Avoid A Cyber-Attack Doesn’t Mean You’re Not At Risk

15-Point Cyber Security Audit Will Reveal Where Your Computer Network Is Exposed And How To Protect Your Company Now.

Imagine walking into your office one morning to discover your computer network was breached by a hacker, exposing not only YOUR company’s data, but also all of your client records and private communications. Imagine the embarrassment of having to notify your clients and vendors that, because of you, their private and possibly personal information may now be in the hands of cybercriminals. And hopefully that’s the only damage done.

Operations could be halted or severely limited for days, possibly weeks. Your data corrupt to the point of being useless. Clients lost. Potential lawsuits and government fines for violating data-breach laws. Cyber security. The exorbitant emergency IT fees to get everything restored to working order fast. Then there’s the risk of your bank account being drained dry – and because you’re a business, you are NOT protected by the banks in the same way individual consumers are. Any money stolen out of your accounts could simply be gone forever.

I know you’re tempted to think, “That won’t happen to us. We’re just a small company. Who’d want to hack us?” Which is exactly what cybercriminals WANT you to think!

At no cost or obligation, our highly trained team of IT pros will come to your office and conduct a comprehensive Cyber Security Audit to uncover loopholes in your company’s IT security.

After the audit is done, we’ll prepare a customized “Report Of Findings” that will reveal specific vulnerabilities and provide a Prioritized Action Plan for getting these
security problems addressed fast. This report and action plan should be a real eye-opener for you since almost all of the businesses we’ve done this for discover they are completely exposed in a number of areas to various threats.

20 Questions To Ask Your Prospective Hosted Exchange San Antonio Provider

20 Questions To Ask Your Prospective Hosted Exchange San Antonio Provider

How many users do you support today?  Service providers with only a handful of clients face an uncertain future.

What does your SLA provide? No one can provide a guaranteed 100 percent uptime so beware over-inflated promises or, conversely, providers with no written SLA.

How financially-sound is the Hosted Exchange San Antonio service provider?  If a hosting company disappears, your Exchange implementation is at risk.

What do current customers say?  Nobody knows a service better than existing clients, so make sure you get concrete answers to hard questions about reliability, access, customer service and any problems they’ve experienced.

Do you have Microsoft-certified technicians on-staff?   Your Exchange host should employ Microsoft-certified staff to ensure technological prowess and support. One reason you’re partnering with a service provider is to leverage their investment in highly qualified personnel.

Which in-house technologies do you use to support your hosted clients? If a service provider doesn’t invest in its infrastructure, this does not bode well for the services it provides. Make sure providers are using top-tier vendors and the latest technologies.

What other services do you provide? Finding a partner with multiple areas of expertise allows you to easily expand into other technology hosting agreements for money- and time-savers such as unified communications.

What migration tools are at my disposal? A provider’s use of automated tools eliminates a lot of the necessary legwork, while live telephone support ensures you’ll get answers when and how you need them.

How do you support after-hours email users? Some service companies only have a skeleton crew, if any, after-hours. Since employees access email around-the-clock, it’s important that someone is always available to answer the phone if questions or problems arise. Therefore, 24×7 support is vital.

How do you support my end-users in different geographies or countries? You don’t want agreements with multiple service providers; make certain your provider supports all the regions in which you operate – or look elsewhere.

Do you support mobile email users? With more and more people accessing email via their phones it’s critical that your service provider supports these users.

Are you PCI Certified? Payment Card Industry data security standards – mandated in many states – encompass acquiring banks, Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), processors, hosts, e-commerce and retail merchants, shopping carts and other merchant services providers. PCI is a set of requirements designed to ensure that companies that process, store or transmit credit card information retain a secure environment.

Do you offer Microsoft Exchange as a hosted service? If not, how will the service provider support you when you decide to upgrade?

What is your average on-hold time for callers? Obviously nobody wants to spend their time on-hold. If a company cannot quantify hold times, that should send up a warning flag.

How will you support me as I grow? As you expand operations, can your service provider support more employees, more geographies and more technologies?

How do I control my data if I use your service? Your data should belong to you, and this fact must be stated clearly in your agreement. Watch out for companies that may hold data hostage if their contract is not renewed.

Is any of the migration process automated? Automation eliminates many time-consuming but necessary tasks, reducing the chance of errors and speeding up your Hosted Exchange San Antonio implementation. These tools allow you to learn from the combined experiences of your service provider, rather than demanding you duplicate efforts.

How do you help me migrate my end-users? Some Hosted Exchange San Antonio businesses only offer a technical support manual. Look for a partner that provides telephone and online support, as well as automation tools for many processes.

How long does migration typically take? It’s important that your migration can occur quickly so you can immediately reap the benefits of your hosted Exchange agreement. The more automation and live assistance available to you, the speedier the process will be.

IT Consulting Services: How Small Businesses Can Leverage IT

IT Consulting Services: How Small Businesses Can Leverage Technology

IT (Information Technology) is sometimes considered to be a tool used by large multi-nationals to wield power and master efficiency in the digital world that we live in. It is often thought that small businesses cannot afford decent IT or IT Consulting services and as a result many small companies often make do with under powered and antiquated IT systems.

There are several factors that lead to these views – one of the most common ones is the lack of publicly available information and knowledge about IT as a business tool. Unfortunately IT is often shrouded in mystery, which makes it difficult for a non-technical person to really understand and consequently to relate to business needs.

The reality is that IT and specifically, IT consulting services, can help all businesses and it doesn’t have to come at a crippling cost to the business. At the core of IT lies automation – it is the key concept that makes IT what it is and it’s also one of the best tools that a business of any size can leverage.

it-consulting-servicesONIT Technology Solutions IT Consulting Services for small businesses in San Antonio understand that IT for small companies should mean the analysis of current business practices and the implementation of technology that enables those practices to work faster and more efficiently than before.

By its very nature an efficient and appropriate IT system will save a company countless hours of work through efficient processes, automation and effective communications across the board.
Of course, the opposite is true for antiquated or failing IT systems: having an IT system in place that has faults, is slow and crashes often is a drain on any business. If an IT system exhibits those flaws it is draining time, resources and money from a business on a daily basis, and potentially producing sub-standard work and processes that have a negative effect on the business at a much broader level.

When you consider what it is really costing a business to run a system that has those continuous problems, you can again see how investing in suitable and up to date IT really is just that – an investment.

Importance of Email Archiving for Big Data Trend

5 Reasons Why Companies Large And Small Are Rushing To Implement “E-mail Archiving” To Protect Themselves

Here’s an issue you may not have given much thought to, but that could become a major issue at some point: saving e-mail communications to employees and clients that contain company policy changes, contract changes, alerts or other critical communications.

So why not just save them in your inbox? Because eventually you’ll run out of space; and searching through hundreds of thousands of e-mails is not always a simple and easy task. Here are 5 BIG reasons why you need an email archiving system:

1. Compliance. While the e-mails and data subject to regulatory statutes varies by industry, ALL e-mails that contain employee and client records, contract negotiations, company policy changes and employee reviews and reprimands should be stored and archived for easy retrieval.

2. Litigation Support. If you are ever sued, you may be ordered by the court to produce documentation to support your case; such documentation includes e-mails. Problem is, pulling e-mails off a tape drive backup can be a massive undertaking. In one such case, USB Bank had to pay an IT firm over $265,000 to pull e-mail communications previously sent.

3. Free Up Storage Space. If you’ve ever had your e-mail stop working because you’ve exceeded your storage space, you know how frustrating this can be. Email archiving eliminates this problem finally and forever.

4. Improve Workflow Systems And Procedures. Another upside to email archiving is your ability to search, document and organize information pertaining to servicing customers, delivering a product, sending out an RFP, selecting vendors, etc.

5. Ease Of Finding E-mails. Let’s face it; we’ve all had the daunting task of trying to find an e-mail sent months ago. An email archiving system would allow you to perform searches of both keywords and attachments to find e-mails in minutes – even seconds – rather than hours or days.

Identity Theft Protection, Could You Be The Next Hacking Victim?

Identity Theft Protection

Over 100 Famous Hollywood Actresses’ Secret Naked Smartphone “Selfies” Stolen By Hackers And Brandished All Over The Internet.

As you probably read, earlier this year over 100 celebrities (including Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence, swimsuit model Kate Upton and many more) recently had naked and explicit photos hacked from their iCloud accounts and published online. The hackers aggressively attempted to blackmail many others, threatening to post their pictures online.

While it’s very easy to dismiss these hacks as a publicity attempt targeting only the rich and famous, it’s scary to think of all the data we have in our businesses that we would never want in the hands of any criminal.

Small Businesses Are Actually A Cybercriminal’s Favorite Target

Why? Because small business owners don't have any kind of identity theft protection and are not prepared, making it easier on criminals. One of the biggest issues facing small business owners in the fight against cybercrime is the lack of a cybersecurity plan. While 83% lack a formal plan, over 69% lack even an informal one. And over half of small business owners believe that cybercrime will never affect them.

Cyber-attacks cost SMBs an average of $188,242 each incident, and nearly two-thirds of the businesses affected are out of business within 6 months (2011 Symantec/NCSA Study). A separate study by Verizon showed that over 80% of small-business cybercrime victims were vulnerable because of insufficient network security (wireless and password issues ranked highest). With insecure networks and no formal identity theft protection plan to combat them, we make it easy on the criminals.
