Could Your Business Survive Tomorrow? If Ransomware Hit Tonight?

Ransomware, hardware failures, natural disasters—they don't send calendar invites. Without tested backups, documented recovery procedures, and a business continuity plan, a single incident could shut you down for days, weeks, or permanently.

Hope Is Not a Disaster Recovery Strategy

Most businesses assume their backups are working and their IT provider has a plan. Most of those businesses are wrong.

Real-World Example: 5-Day Outage

Covenant Church experienced a complete system outage when their SAN storage failed. Five days of downtime threatened their operations across multiple campuses. GXA responded with 24/7 recovery assistance, getting 75% of systems back online within 24 hours and recovering 99% of all data. As their IT Director Tony Montez put it: "We have not had another outage of that magnitude in the 5 years since bringing GXA onboard."

Every Hour Costs Money

When your systems are down, your employees can't work, customers can't be served, and revenue stops. A 5-day outage for a 50-person company means 2,000 lost work hours. The question isn't if something will go wrong—it's whether you'll recover in hours or weeks.

Warning Signs You're Not Ready for Disaster

You don't know how long it would take to recover from a ransomware attack
Your backups haven't been tested in months (or ever)
No one has documented the steps to restore critical systems
You're not sure if your backups are actually working
Remote employees have data on laptops that isn't backed up
You don't have a written business continuity plan

The Disasters You Need to Plan For

Ransomware Attack

Cybercriminals encrypt your files and demand payment. Without reliable backups and a recovery plan, you're left choosing between paying ransom or losing everything.

Hardware Failure

Servers and storage systems fail without warning. A single SAN failure can take down your entire operation for days if you're not prepared.

Natural Disasters

Floods, fires, storms, and power outages can destroy on-site equipment. If your backups are in the same building, they're gone too.

Human Error

Accidental deletions, misconfigurations, and mistakes happen. Without proper backups and version control, a simple error can cause permanent data loss.

GXA®'s Business Continuity Approach: Proactive Protection + Rapid Recovery

True disaster readiness isn't just about backups—it's about having the infrastructure, processes, and expertise to keep your business running no matter what happens. GXA delivers all three.

99.999% Private Cloud Uptime

GXA's private cloud infrastructure delivers five-nines uptime for your critical systems. That means less than 6 minutes of downtime per year.

24/7/365 Monitoring & Support

Our Network Operations Center monitors your environment around the clock. When something goes wrong, we know before you do—and we're already working on it.

15-Minute Average Response

When disaster strikes, every minute counts. GXA's 15-minute average response time means we're addressing critical issues immediately, not next business day.

Multi-Layer Backup Strategy

Local backups for fast recovery. Offsite replication for disaster scenarios. Regular testing to ensure everything actually works when you need it.

Disaster Recovery Site

Co-location facilities provide geographic redundancy for your critical systems. If your primary site is compromised, we can fail over to backup systems at a separate location, minimizing downtime and data loss.

Documented Recovery Procedures

Using IT Glue, we maintain comprehensive documentation of your environment. When disaster strikes, our team knows exactly what to do, in what order, to get you back online as fast as possible.

Virtual IT Manager (vITM)

Your dedicated vITM visits on-site monthly to ensure backups are working, documentation is current, and your environment is optimized for resilience. They own your day-to-day IT health and standards—including disaster preparedness.
