ATI Microsoft Small Business Server


Small businesses face the same IT challenges as larger organizations, but they are more vulnerable when it comes to recovering from a disaster. Small companies are dependent on fewer servers, generally have smaller IT staffs, and fewer technical resources than a large enterprise so data recovery requires relatively more personnel and technological assets than those of large companies. In fact, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics states that 93% of all companies that experience "significant data loss" are out of business within five years. As a result, even a single critical server failure could have a dramatic impact on a small business' financial and IT health.
