9 Reasons why Cloud Backup needs to be a part of your Business

/

At some point in the future, your computer or computer network will fail.  It’s a fact of life. It may be from a hard drive malfunction, user-error data losses, power outages, natural disasters, cyber-attacks and so on. This is why an effective Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution is essential to virtually every organization today. Every organization needs it, the same as they need liability insurance.

Backup and Data Recovery has come a long way. Long gone are the days of media-vaulted backup and manual recovery methods. Today’s BDR solutions provide secure, fast, monitored, and continuous backup and rapid data restoration through cloud-based architecture.

Here are a few of the key benefits organizations can gain with backup disaster recovery in the cloud:

  1. Improved data protection:  Cloud backup assures that your data is recoverable and protected.  With industry-leading encryption and security practices, cloud-based data is highly secure.
  2. Low Cost of Ownership and better Pricing Options:  Zero capital expense and predictable subscription pricing keep total cost of ownership low. The facility and systems maintenance is taken care of by the solution provider.
  3. Ease of Use: Cloud based Backup Disaster Recovery solutions tend to have easy-to-use web-based management and user interfaces. At most, cloud solutions require a light-weight agent on devices used for data synchronization to the cloud, so you have minimal maintenance.
  4. Fast implementation: Rapid deployment in a matter of minutes with set-up and configuration wizards.
  5. Leverage existing IT: Most cloud solutions inter-operate with existing storage devices, applications and operating systems.
  6. Lower energy consumption:  No need for larger server rooms, saving power consumption and energy bills. If you have a Green IT initiative, this is a great way to lower your carbon footprint and energy consumption by leveraging a proven cloud vendor.
  7. Agility and Scalability:  Because it’s cloud-based, increasing or decreasing your storage capacity should be painless. Try to avoid any tiered pricing as you increase data volumes.
  8. Recover/Restore your files from any location, anytime where you have access to the internet. You will have a 24x7x365 availability solution.
  9. Offload Risk to the Service Provider: By contractually stipulating provisions for data protection and disaster recovery that are tied to specific indemnities in the event of service failures, a company can further mitigate risk.
