Below are a few excerpts from the article, “Cloud Backup Solutions Deliver Accessibility, Scalability and Peace of Mind.”
Cloud Backup Delivers Key Advantages
“Many organizations that move to cloud backups do so for the benefit of increased accessibility. Tape backups, for instance, can store a large amount of data cheaply. However, restoring from a tape backup can take a great deal of time. Likewise, locating necessary data among the backups can prove difficult.”
“On the other hand, cloud backups are designed to ease the process of finding and restoring data. Users access backed up data from any device with an internet connection. Additionally, administrators can often monitor and manage all aspects of backup and data storage from anywhere using web-based tools.”
Things to Look for in a Cloud Backup Service
- “Comprehensive security and compliance options – You should have the ability to deploy multi-factor authentication (MFA) for accounts with access to backed up data. Additionally, look for solutions that deliver end-to-end, 256-bit or greater encryption. And ensure that the cloud provider can comply with applicable regulations.”
- “Data restoration – Does the Service Level Agreement (SLA) include guaranteed recovery? And can you recover data to the desired degree of granularity? For instance, users should have the ability to restore single files without restoring an entire file server.”
Data Backups Essential to Business Continuity
An effective business continuity plan begins with a solid backup and recovery strategy. Cloud backups offer the flexibility necessary to operate in a complex data environment. But it can prove challenging to find and implement the right solution for your organization. eMazzanti helps business leaders assess their data environment and tailor a solution to their specific needs.
