Recovery Time

Traditional Backup – Can take weeks to recover data after a disaster
Comprehensive Business Continuity – Downtime after a disaster is reduced to hours, minutes, and even seconds

To Err is Human

Traditional Backup – High risk for human error due to heavy manual administration: 60% of on-site disasters are due to human error
Comprehensive Business Continuity – Full automation backup process – very little manual management required

Backup Testing

Traditional Backup – Difficult to test if backups are working properly
Comprehensive Business Continuity – Automated screenshots are taken and reported to ensure each backup was successful and can be booted at anytime

Making Copies

Traditional Backup – Making copies for the 3:2:1 rule (3 copies of data, 2 onsite, 1 offsite) is time consuming and expensive
Comprehensive Business Continuity – Each backup is saved in multiple locations: local appliance and Cloud Data Centers

Time is Money

Physical to Virtual

Redundancy 

Traditional Backup – No redundant backups in multiple locations, leaving high risk for original backup systems to be destroyed
Comprehensive Business Continuity – Eliminate downtime in the event of a disaster by allowing your business to run off the secure cloud

Compliance and Regulation

Traditional Backup – Limited options for encrypting data, may not pass industry regulations (e.g. HIPAA, PCI, SOX)
Comprehensive Business Continuity – AES 256 and SSL key-based encryption ensures data is safe and meets industry regulations (e.g. HIPAA, PCI, SOX)

Media Corruption

Traditional Backup – When recovering data, tape failures exceed 50%
Comprehensive Business Continuity – Minimal risk of corrupted backups or data loss

Theft and Data Loss

Traditional Backup – Potential for theft and loss of media
Comprehensive Business Continuity – Off-site backups are securely stored in SSAE 16 SOC I & II Certified and FISMA, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA Compliant data centers
