Does your backup get your
back up? |
|
|
|
Protecting business critical
data is one of the most
important yet least
considered challenges facing
businesses today. Would you
believe that more than
two-thirds of UK
organisations still do not
backup their data offsite?
|
|
|
|
|
| |

Do tapes drive you crazy?
Many companies still use tape backup to
perform this vital function but it can be a
pain switching tapes and remembering to take
them offsite – not to mention the initial
capital expenditure and ongoing maintenance.
Moreover, an extensive survey by the
Department of Trade and Industry found that
nearly 42% of all restores from tape backup
devices actually fail, suggesting we should
no longer rely on this method alone. After
all, every business needs to be confident
that vital files and emails are backed up
securely and that their backups can be
relied upon should the need arise to recover
some or all of the data.
Backup 2 is the answer!
Online backup provides the simplest and most
reliable solution to this problem and we
believe Net Technical Solutions’ own
offering
‘Backup2’
is one of the most powerful, simple and
cost-effective products available in the UK
market.
Online backup can work independently or in
tandem with a tape device to offer a secure,
reliable and cost-effective backup service.
Sophisticated software compresses and
encrypts your data then sends it via your
broadband connection to a number of secure
UK data centres.
Here are some of the key benefits to using
our very own
Backup2
service:
|
|
•
|
Data is stored in our secure UK
data centres and is available
for restore 24/7/365 |
|
• |
As an added layer of security
all backup data is stored in at
least two separate locations |
|
• |
All of your data is triple
encrypted at source to prevent
any unauthorised access |
|
• |
Data compression ensures that
whilst you may have, for
example, 50GB of ‘raw data’ your
actual physical storage figure
may only be a fraction of this
size therefore driving the costs
down |
|
• |
Our managed servers have huge
memory capacity saving you
initial and ongoing hardware
Cap Ex |
|
•
|
Backups are automated and can be
scheduled to run at any time of
the day or night according to
your needs |
|
• |
Our backup software allows you
to keep track of your stored
data and data yet to be backed
up |
|
• |
Lost data can be easily restored
via our simple to use Backup2
management console |
|
•
|
Backup2 is so versatile it can
be used to restore a single file
or an entire database |
|
•
|
There are no hardware, software
or maintenance costs... simply
the cost of storing the data |
|
|
Regulatory Compliance
In certain industries, regulatory compliance
is vital and our backup service helps ease
the process by allowing you to set retention
rules. Here it is possible to select a time
period for which data of various types needs
to be held securely for regulatory
compliance and business best practice.
This gives you the peace of mind that not
only is all of your data protected offsite
and available for restore 24/7 but it is
also retained and archived for a designated
period in a fully automated secure process.
By providing effective backup and archiving
you will not only meet, but far exceed all
data accessibility challenges. Our Backup2
software offers the following:
|
|
• |
Compliance with Data Protection,
HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and
requests under the Freedom of
Information Act for public and
private sector organisations |
|
• |
Retention policies accurately
and automatically control not
only the backup and retention of
data but also the destruction of
data at the end of its
compliance lifecycle |
|
•
|
Secure data centre file
replication ensures that your
data is stored in multiple
locations thus complying with
the requirements of industry
regulators |
|
•
|
Instant access to files ensures
lengthy data searches can be
avoided thus preventing the
possibility of being unable to
satisfy regulatory requests or
not producing the data in time
to avoid litigation |

and why not sign up for a free trial? We can
give you an assessment of your existing
backup requirements and will even estimate
what the likely compression rates will be to
give you some idea of how much data you will
be physically storing and therefore the
likely cost.
Alternatively, why not give your account
manager a call and chat through the options. |
