Mobile - Wireless Communications White Papers

Making the Case for Mobile Storage

Overview This white paper lives up to its title by clearly demonstrating that the total cost of downtime incurred by a mobile worker when his or her laptop crashes is far more expensive than providing that same worker with a USB hard drive for purposes of backup and recovery. Author David Sexton calculates the "hard costs" of such a crash not only in terms of actual downtime but also in terms of lost revenue and the tech support costs that are typically charged back to IT for the time it takes to get a user back online. When compared to the total cost of downtime, the cost of providing an Aegis Mini 60GB external hard drive to every member of a mobile workforce becomes surprisingly affordable.
