Network Documentation - A Cornerstone for Disaster Recovery

For many small and medium businesses, that have limited IT support, it is a challenge to keep up with the seemingly never-ending influx of new technology that supports the critical business functions that keep them growing. As the business adds on new hardware and updates their technology, who is keeping track of those changes and blue printing the structure of the expanding network? What happens to the business, if the information isn't accessible, or a failure occurs? The answer to this is documentation, specifically network documentation. This vital information can be used to troubleshoot a problem, or completely rebuild a network after a disaster.
