Since data loss can happen at any moment, as a service provider you need to restore your clients’ business-critical data as quickly as possible. How quickly they get back to normal depends on when you last backed up their data. Poor data protection can set them back hours, days, or perhaps weeks – severely impact their employees’ productivity and the organization’s long-term viability.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/continuous-data-protection/) [19 April 2021 — 3 min read ![Image 5: Ensure IT productivity when provisioning machines](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/e44479aa9902652a121944102811a7bd.png) Ensure IT productivity when provisioning machines Time is money…so to optimize your limited IT resources you should be able to provision all the machines you need at once – as quickly as you can provision one – is a much better approach.

For 2021, that last challenge is particularly daunting: few SMBs are capable of keeping pace with a daily barrage of ransomware attacks, tech supply-chain incursions like the SolarWinds breach, and severe vulnerabilities like Microsoft’s recent Exchange Server fiasco – especially in light of their paltry tech budgets and headcount.
