Backup as a Service
Cost Effective automatic back-up to secure, high availability off-site Datacentre facilities
With today’s increasingly decentralised organisations the cost of backing up, maintaining availability and recovering both centralised and geographically dispersed data can be prohibitive. Add the huge costs of downtime, the ever growing requirements for regulatory compliance, and the risks of data protection are just too great to ignore.
Data loss is a serious threat to organisations of all sizes and the need to protect critical and sensitive data is one of the top priorities. While many organisations benefit today from keeping online de-duplicated data copies available for fast recovery, data growth will still require more disk and tape to contain expanding amounts of data.
