In light of the recent major IT outage that affected many organizations, Sentinel understands the critical need for robust business continuity plans. Our expertise in business continuity concepts can empower your organization to maintain operations during emergency situations that may affect multiple technical capabilities. A few examples of these are the use of Windows 365 for virtual corporate-owned endpoints, Microsoft Intune and Autopilot for rapid, zero-touch device deployments and resets, and comprehensive business continuity planning that can align with ephemeral server infrastructure concepts for quick redeployment of critical infrastructure. 

Windows 365 offers a cloud-based approach that allows employees to access corporate resources securely and efficiently, regardless of their physical location. This ensures that work can continue uninterrupted, even in the face of unexpected disruptions. 

Microsoft Intune and Autopilot streamline the deployment and management of devices. Intune's cloud-based service provides mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM), ensuring that devices and apps remain secure and up-to-date. Autopilot offers zero-touch deployment, enabling rapid onboarding of workers and ensuring that devices are pre-configured with the necessary settings and applications from the first boot. 

A comprehensive business continuity plan includes not only the tools to maintain operations, but also the strategies to rapidly redeploy critical infrastructure. This involves identifying potential losses, maintaining viable recovery strategies, and ensuring continuity of services. It's about having a plan to deal with difficult situations so your organization can continue to function with as little disruption as possible. 

Sentinel remains committed to leading the way in modern endpoint management and business continuity solutions. Our approach is to provide a seamless integration of services that not only protect but also enhance productivity and resilience in the face of challenges.
