Not all DR/DRASS solutions are created equal-and some details make all the difference. The idea behind disaster recovery seems simple enough- to enable your business to be up and running as quickly as possible following a catastrophic event. As with most simple concepts, though, the devil is the details: What constitutes a disaster? What needs to be recovered? How quickly does it have to happen? Not surprisingly, the simple answers to these questions - "Anything bad, " "Everything, " and "immediately" - aren't usually the right ones. In fact, there aren't any universal right or wrong answers. The "right" answer for one business could be disastrously wrong for another. At Red Level, we've seen firsthand how too many businesses settle for general answers when considering DR or DRASS without giving enough careful consideration to their own unique needs. We've pinpointed five particular areas you should evaluate when selecting a DR or DRASS solution. ...

“What we have here is a failure to communicate,” Strother Martin said in Cool Hand Luke back in 1968. And there’s a reason that line remains memorable four and a half decades later: Business communication problems are a big source of inefficiency and frustration, and when technology is involved, they seem to multiply the frustration – not to mention the impact. When it comes down to it, business technology is really all about communication. When that technology is inefficient, bogged down, poorly configured, dysfunctional, or just plain slow, you can wind up with “failure to communicate” on a grand scale. In Cool Hand Luke, they tended to solve communications issues by hitting people and smashing things. Fortunately, there are better methods available. All of them start with properly identifying the problem – always the first step in applying an effective solution. There are three common “Failure To Communicate” issues that tend to crop up again and again, ...
Think for a second about how much responsibility – and potential liability – is involved for a company that handles payroll for 1500 employees weekly. Then consider that some of these employees serve multiple clients and draw multiple checks. Oh, and they’re home health care workers, providing vital services to highly vulnerable clients. It is also your job to maintain their schedules, ensuring that every client receives necessary services at exactly the right time. Now consider what happens when you lose your power—not just for a few minutes or a few hours, but for days at a time. You can guess the likely result: Every computer, server, network device – even the phone system – stops cold. No computers, no databases, no printers means no checks and no schedules. The potential impact to clients, could mean missed blood tests, wellness checks, meals, medications, and doctors appointments—and potentially catastrophic consequences. This ...
How many big ideas, inspiring stories, and cool performances can fit under one roof? I’d have a hard time coming up with a solid answer, but if yesterday’s TEDx at the Fox Theater is anything to go by, the answer is “a lot.” This year, Red Level joined a cross-section of forward-looking area companies—manufacturers, technology firms, venture capitalists, marketing agencies and more - in sponsoring this annual gathering of bright minds and great talents. Amazing new automotive concepts like Elio Motors and musicians and poets like Ahya Simone and Darius Simpson really wowed our audience this year. I’ve been involved with TEDxDetroit for six years, helping to organize each annual event - and, not incidentally, trying to make sure that as many people as possible in our region know about it. I’m happy to say that it’s been working, and working well. 300 people attended the first TEDxDetroit event in a college lecture hall six years ...
