How Much is Enough?


A fundamental goal of every business recovery plan is to protect PC, LAN, and workstation environments. But the key question is: How much protection is enough?

The answer isn't simple; it depends on many factors ... the complexity of the computing environment involved, and the degree to which the systems are connected to outside networks. A variety of support and services to protect computing environments is available from IBM AntiVirus Products and Services, provided by the Business Recovery Services unit of IBM's Integrated Systems Solution Corp. subsidiary. For more details, call IBM in the U.S. at (800) 742-2493.
