Small businesses are growing increasingly dependent upon IT infrastructure as they build mission-critical environments that require high levels of availability. Network downtime can be especially costly when it impACTS global time-zone workforces, 24x7 eCommerce or web-based applications, financial services, remote Data Center environments, and applications with a large user base.

Software upgrades and patches can cause unexpected compatibility issues. Viruses invade systems and cause unpredictable operation.
