Yes, the pun IS intended :)

This weekend, Hurricane Irene roared up the East Coast of the United States and severa lessons were learned, as it relates to secuing your IT infrastructure and data.  I want to share the following two e-mail messages that Jenaly sent to all our valued clients, both before the storm and after.  I hope you will be able to find some value within these messages that may help you survive any future event like this...

The following message was our preparatory e-mail, which we sent out on Thursday:

Preparing for Hurricane Irene

Dear Tim:

It appears likely that Hurricane Irene may make a direct hit on New England over the upcoming weekend.  The latest reports suggest the wee hours of Monday morning and into the day.  We want you to know that Jenaly is actively monitoring the forecasts and taking several steps to assist our clients in the event of any impact.

Please review the following list of 8 recommendations and share it with the appropriate members of your team.  We obviously hope that none of us will suffer any impact, personally or professionally, from this storm.  One of my favorite sayings is "Better to have a plan and not need it than need a plan and not have it", so hopefully the simple step of reading this e-mail and taking these recommendations seriously, will help you weather the storm (yes, the pun is intended) without issue.
