Review Three: Online Backup
The amount of data used by businesses has increased exponentially in the past five years. Corporate scandals, public sector unrest and glaring security flaws in computer operating systems and software applications have resulted in intense and detailed analysis of data as it enters and leaves an individual’s computer.
With the proliferation of the Internet, data sensitive resources like computers can no longer be viewed in isolation – they have become supply chains in themselves. Data now moves from the end user’s PC to all sorts of remote locations via email, social networking sites, MSN and increasingly through ‘Online backup’.
Online backup can be defined as a web-based service that specifically allows customers to ‘backup’ files to a secure or protected site i.e. a remote data centre. The data centre could be hundreds, if not thousands of miles away from the end user’s PC. The purpose of the service is to create a second copy of the customer’s most important files, to insure them against any loss of data.
With the advent of cheaper, faster internet connections for home users and small businesses, more and more users are now moving from traditional backup tape solutions to the more affordable and hassle free online equivalents.
Gartner research corroborates their business strategy as well; with its popular report that states that, ‘71% of all tape restores fail’. This is an alarming statistic for anyone used to the traditional system and should send a warning signal to thousands of SMBs who rely solely on it.
3 Key Advantages of Online Backup:
Ease-of-use: An online backup is normally scheduled to occur automatically overnight. This removes the labour involved in putting a backup tape into the tape drive before you leave the office, taking it home, storing it securely and remembering to stick to your tape rotation.
Affordability: Online backup is priced according to the amount of data you are storing and is normally charged at a monthly rate. With no need for any initial or ongoing hardware investment, this reduces the total cost of ownership considerably and makes accurate budgeting possible.
Security: Nearly all online backup services provide secure communication using at least 128-bit encryption. It is a mandatory feature without which customers will not trust the providers with their critical data.
If you would like to know more about how online backup could help your business store its data securely and affordably, just give Wytech a call, we have a number of solutions available.
