Traditional backup methods such as tape, disk, and strict NAS devices are no longer sufficient. In fact, leading edge business owners are finding them unacceptable. Technological innovations have set a new solution standard: Comprehensive Business Continuity, going beyond data protection; delivering automated assurance, continuous protection, secured storage, regulator compliance, and instant recovery.

 

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

Traditional Backup – Backup speeds are slow
Comprehensive Business Continuity – Quick and efficient transferring of files to off-site data centers, even with low bandwidth or busy network environments.  Critical data can be prioritized to be transferred off-site first

 

Physical to Virtual

Traditional Backup – Physical to virtual conversions can be time consuming and have a high failure rate
Comprehensive Business Continuity – Incremental backups can be instantly virtualized (both physical and virtual systems) rather than the entire backup chain

 

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
