BlinkingPC - Your Partner to Ride Out the Storm

In South Florida, hurricanes come to mind immediately when the word disaster is used. Not only is the damage to property devastating, the loss of valuable data or access to your systems and client data can turn into a true disaster. At Blinking PC we provide solutions to mitigate these hazards, providing robust backup and cloud hosted services that continue to be accessible even after the worst disaster.  Our redundant off-site hosting provides seamless access to data and systems from mobile devices and PCs via mobile internet, virtually eliminating the issues associated with power and local broadband outages. Let us assess how we can make your Miami, Ft. Lauderdale or Boca Raton based business “Disaster Proof”.

1. First off, sorry to say this… there is no such thing as disaster-proof. However, BlinkingPC can get you as close to “Diaster-proof” as possible. Being able to work at near capacity, having access to all critical data and systems during and right after a natural disaster, such as a hurricane (That us in South Florida know way too much about!) is the difference between a business loosing clients or making new clients for life. How good does it feel to call a store after a storm, hear someone answer, and be able to help you? You remember those things. You tell your friends. That is how clients become your business’s evangelists.

2. Have a Plan. Make sure that all important information is protected, yet, accessible after the disaster. Sounds like a simple yet huge task? BlinkingPC provides strategic IT planning for emergencies, natural disasters, and other perils to business operation. Let us help you to plan for the worst, while knowing you can still do your best.

3. Backup, Backup, Backup. I can’t say it enough, have multiple onsite and offsite backups so if systems are damaged data is still recoverable. Local hard drive backups are quick to recover from but can be subject to damage as well. Cloud backups are more secure and are backed up themselves to other locations, they are however sometimes limited in scope and speed of recovery. Have both.

4. Cloud based systems. One way to change the whole dynamic is cloud based IT. When the software and data are in remote servers then only a working internet connection is needed to be back up and working. Many times after natural disasters power is out and the only access to internet is cellular and hotspots, if you are cloud based you are still in business!

5. Laptops. Many businesses have nearly all computers fixed desktops, these limit options when power and land based internet is down. When offices have spare laptops for critical employees or laptops for all workstations with docking stations, work can continue anywhere.

6. Have a trusted partner. BlinkingPC can plan and manage your computer systems and IT infrastructure. We provide the Planning, Backups, Hardware and Cloud based systems to keep your Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or Boca Raton based business up and running.
