By Jason Bovberg
Loss of data ranks as a “worst nightmare” for businesses of any size, but for SMBs data loss can be especially catastrophic: FEMA even estimates that 40 to 60 percent of SMBs never re-open after a data disaster. So, considering the threat of natural disasters, hardware/software failures, and worker recklessness leading to catastrophic data loss, why do some SMBs still fail to back up their data? Matthew Dornquast, CEO of Code 42 Software shared with me this list of the top 10 reasons SMBs fail to back up their data.]]>Jason BovbergThu, 13 Oct 2011 11:44:40 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/blog/networking-and-hardware-blog-9/backup-recovery/top-10-reasons-smbs-fail-data-140893http://www.windowsitpro.com/blog/networking-and-hardware-blog-9/storage/tape-benefits-disk-140332

For a number of years, I’ve admired NETIKUS.NET’s network-management offerings—particularly the company’s EventSentry product, which provides monitoring capabilities for critical infrastructure systems. NETIKUS.NET has released a new version of EventSentry (2.92), and it’s got some cool changes worth pointing out to you network admins out there. The biggest change is the introduction of an SNMP daemon, which lets you receive SNMP traps (v1, v2c, v3) with EventSentry traps. The SNMP trap daemon is also available in the tool’s free edition, EventSentry Light. The SNMP daemon is extremely easy to set up, so anybody can configure basic SNMP monitoring at no cost in a matter of minutes.]]>Bovberg, JasonTue, 26 Jul 2011 17:37:50 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/blog/networking-and-hardware-blog-9/networking/eventsentry-lets-monitor-systems-iphone-139980http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/products/teched-2011-award-winners-136192
