VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

 

Symantec Corp. has announced the India findings of its 2012 SMB Disaster Preparedness Survey, gathered from 100 Indian SMBs with less than 249 employees. The survey uncovered that more than 90 per cent of Indian SMBs are not sufficiently prepared for disasters even as they grapple with high instances of disasters. On a positive note, the survey also revealed Indian SMBs are adopting technologies such as virtualization, cloud computing and mobility, often with improved disaster preparedness as a goal. 

Vijay Mhaskar, Vice-President, Information Management Group, Symantec India, said, "Small and medium businesses are the backbone of India. These businesses cannot afford lengthy downtimes and so their ability to quickly recover from a disaster is critical. It is time Indian SMBs start looking seriously at having a sound plan with effective security and data protection solutions that will enable them to better prepare for and quickly recover from potential disasters."
