(Source: Arsenal Digital)  Implementing a data protection program has always been a challenging task, but never more critical than now, as companies are required to meet new regulatory requirements for safeguarding data, and more as data is stored outside the main office. In fact, due to the growth of remote office and mobile computing, critical company data is widely distributed across enterprise networks, with no backup or disaster recovery plan in place. As such, the top remote office support issues companies face today are backup and restoration of data, disaster recovery, and compliance, according to the IT research firm IDC.At the same time, companies must be concerned with the cost of downtime, regulatory penalties for data loss, and customer confidence issues if data is compromised, corrupted or lost. As a result, companies increasingly are turning to remote data protection services. Arsenal Digital has created a Remote Data Protection Kit that helps IT managers plan and carry out a remote data protection plan. The kit discusses: -Remote office data protection: Impact of service quality on productivity, company revenue, and IT costs -Keeping the doors open: Understanding the business consequences when data is not accessible. -Data Protection for SMBs: Beyond Tape Backup
