It pays to shop around and test out various options, as assuming that a big player will provide a service that is a good fit for your business could end up being a costly mistake.

Managed storage services are becoming as essential as managed security services, without the same intense pressures and vulnerabilities. You are also correct that the more explicit "business continuity" and "disaster recovery" terminology can be a more compelling service label than simple back-up services. No matter what you call it, offering managed storage services will not differentiate your business. Instead, it will be how you deliver the service that will set you apart.

I like to say, having your business burn down is unfortunate, but not being back in business in 2 days is a disaster. "Lunch and Learn" are great monthly tools to help educate your customers and prospective customers. For those of you who dislike selling, this is not. But they will call you more often. Joe,
