Every business needs to have some form of data backup but there are so many types of backup available, how do you know which is best for you?

Micro Plus Computers will look at your backup requirements including the amount of data, the type of data, the software you are running, the available backup window, your network and broadband speed, your admin staff's IT knowledge and your budget.  Based on our findings we will recommend a solution - and this service is completely free.

Online Backup

Cloud services from Micro Plus Computers have been designed to deliver the performance, capacity, security and flexibility needed to address today’s on-line storage challenges. 

As no single storage architecture can really address all the challenges presented by increasingly distributed businesses systems we use four solutions that address Backup, SAN Replication, Cloud NAS Storage and Object Storage.

Cloud Backup delivers next generation intelligent data backup and recovery to protect organisations mission critical data in a simple unified solution.

As organisations battle to protect ever growing data environments in ever decreasing backup windows iomart Cloud Backup allows customers to intelligently meet business objectives by backing up critical data and retaining it in a secure N+N cloud infrastructure. As infrastructures become more complex with physical and virtual servers and an increased number of critical applications IT managers are under increasing pressure to rethink data protection strategies. Cloud Backup helps IT departments achieve backup and recovery goals in a simple to deploy enterprise class intelligent managed service.

Cloud Backup uses

Cloud Backup can be utilised as a solution to meet primary data protection requirements or alternatively can be utilised to protect remote offices and workers. Ideal for organisations that are looking to eradicate tape whilst still retaining a secure offsite secondary copy of data.

Cloud Backup benefits

• Simple deployment
• Secure encrypted efficient backup
• Meets legislative and compliance requirements
• Constantly available
• Helps achieve RTO/RPO objectives
• Unified solution to meet all requirements
• No additional investment in hardware or software
• Guaranteed service levels

How does Cloud Backup differ from traditional backup models?

Traditional backup involves deploying multiple agents and storage targets within customer premises to meet backup windows, traditionally organisations will flat backup both physical and virtual servers. Further complexity is added when remote offices and remote users require their critical systems to be backed up and data retention extends this by requiring tape to retain historic data. 

Cloud Backup is an intelligent solution for both physical and virtual environments with application aware agents deployed to each server/desktop/laptop regardless of location backing up centrally to secure N+N Datacentres. This allows for both granular and full backups and restores of critical data whether virtual or physical with the ability to restore either individual files or entire systems. 

Cloud Backup never backs up the same data twice allowing a highly efficient and scalable solution to meet the requirements of protecting yesterdays, today’s and tomorrow’s data.
