Why Cloud Backup?

Over the last decade, cloud backup, recovery and restore (BURR) options have emerged as a secure, cost-effective and reliable method of safeguarding the increasing amounts of corporate information being generated daily.

But switching to a cloud-based backup system is a significant decision that requires a clear understanding of
how such a solution will integrate into your business.

A cloud backup, recovery and restore (BURR) solution provides you with a cost effective, secure and reliable method of recovering and restoring data— the lifeblood of your business. The system restores data regardless of your location, including individual files in their native format so you can resume business operations immediately. It also provides you
with a flexible solution that scales as your storage capacity needs evolve as your business grows.

These answers should provide a better picture of what the switch to a cloud backup, recovery and restore solution involves.  Given the reliability, cost savings and ease of operation associated with cloud backup, many companies are now moving to the cloud.

The reasons include:
•• Ability to leverage existing infrastructure — a cloud backup and recovery solution doesn’t require buying or installing expensive equipment as it takes advantage of your existing corporate network
•• Set it and forget it — once you select a backup schedule, company data is saved automatically, providing a transparent solution
•• Tape backup shortcomings — tape backups are often expensive, vulnerable to obsolescence and can be lost or stolen when being transported off-site
•• Improved recovery time objectives — by using a managed backup service, the speed and reliability
of your recovery and restore will be governed through your SLA
•• Smarter use of IT resources — a cloud backup and recovery solution will allow your business to redirect IT resources to more pressing challenges within your organization
•• Backup Lifecycle Management — a cloud backup and recovery solution aligns the value of your data with the cost of protecting it. As the value of your data declines over time the cost of protecting it also declines providing you with additional cost savings.
