Saudi Arabia Builds A Healthier Tomorrow With The IBM Cloud “Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.” - Gautama Buddha (563-483 BC), spiritual leader and founder of Buddhism.

“Always Be Testing:” Weekly Disaster Recovery System Testing Critical for Small to Mid-Sized Businesses Statistics show that most small to mid-sized businesses will experience at least one instance of system downtime a year, at an average cost of $74,000 an hour, according to Aberdeen Group. Unfortunately, only a handful of small to mid-sized businesses have ever even tested their backup to find out if complete recovery of their data, applications and systems after a disaster is possible.
