As a business owner, you know that your Oracle database is crucial to your business’s electronic operations. So what would happen if a fire broke out in your building, destroyed your server and your entire Oracle database went down?
How long would it take to rebuild the database and all the electronic files within it? How many projects and clients could be lost as you and your team struggled to put your Oracle database back together again?

Don’t Lose Your Website
Invest in MySQL Online Backup
A website is often one of the most important components of any business. From the sole proprietor, to the Fortune 500 company, a website acts like an online storefront, helping define the business, develop and strengthen customer relationships. An ecommerce site may even provide a large portion of a business’s profits. In fact, some businesses exist entirely online and make all of their money from web purchases, donations, or ad revenue.
MySQL is one of the most popular open source database management systems for websites (even Wikipedia and Facebook use MySQL). This means that in order to protect your website, you need to protect your MySQL database.
Despite this seemingly obvious fact, many businesses do not perform MySQL online backups.
Not backing up a MySQL database puts a company’s website (and any other files stored on the database) at a significant risk. If something happens to the database, the website could crash with no way to restore it.
Think about what it would mean if your website went down for one day, two days, or even a whole week. How many potential visitors would you lose? How much potential money?
How long would it take to rebuild your website from scratch? Think about the web designer you’d have to hire, all the content you’d have to rewrite, all the stock art you’d have to purchase, etc…
You don’t have to go down that road. It’s extremely easy to perform a MySQL online backup and keep your website completely protected. TAPNET offers unlimited online storage starting at just $1.75 a month. This means you can securely store your entire MySQL database on an offsite server. If anything ever happens to your database, you can retrieve all of your files and have your website back up in only minutes with little to no interruption of your services.
If you value your website, protect your MySQL database by investing in a MySQL online backup.

Are You Ready For An Offsite Workforce?
In this day and age, location is becoming less and less relevant in the business world. Employees in high demand are searching for companies that can offer them flexible work schedules, or even the ability to work from home. In many industries, it is even possible to hire an off-site workforce, which saves the company substantial capital, increases their pool of possible employees, and improves employee morale.
But how can businesses and their employees function without being in the same location? Three words explain everything: Collaboration, Sharing and Syncing
Collaboration
A company’s power comes from the dynamic solutions of specialized teams working together to complete a large project. Team functioning can sometimes be harmed if communication and collaboration are lacking.
Team communication is easy and cheap. Conference calls, video conferencing and webinars are simple solutions. The need for collaboration can be a little more challenging to overcome. Luckily, TAPNET offers a solution. The same company that provides safe and secure backups, also offers collaboration solutions for its clients.
TAPNET’s special “Briefcase” feature acts like a traditional server, allowing employees to access shared documents so they can collaborate on projects and work together even from different locations and different computers.
Sharing
Email is a key tool for offsite teams who want to communicate quickly, but sharing files through email can lead to slow or crashed servers, rejected emails, or important emails being dumped directly into a spam filter.
There’s a much better way to share files. TAPNET offers every business client their own TAPNET website. These websites function just like an ftp. A user can load large files onto the site and share amongst a team of people or even allow for public viewing and downloading.
This is a great solution for offsite employees to share files and pull large files without overburdening email or even (gasp) sending CDs or jump drives through the mail
Syncing
Whether your employees travel regularly, work offsite or want to access files using multiple devices, syncing makes it all possible.
Through TAPNET’s unlimited online backup service, an employee is able to access their entire desktop from any computer or Internet-enabled device that has access to the Internet, including iPads and smart phones.
So, if your current employees are demanding more flexible schedules, or you’d really like to hire a new VP of finance who happens to live on the other side of the continent, consider that today’s technology lets people stay in touch with each other and their documents anywhere, at any time.
