Backup and disaster recovery services are no laughing matter these days. Each company needs a robust data protection, a secure and reliable cloud storage provider and a series of local and hybrid backup options. In this post, you’ll understand 6 benefits of backup and disaster recovery systems further, so you can choose what’s right for your company.
Managing Your Backups
This doesn’t have to be done in-house… after all tape backups are definitely a thing of the past, so why would you trust a daily process when cloud-backup services are so reliable? Don’t restrict your IT department anymore to these archaic practices; trust a solution that fits your needs. Monthly backups? Weekly? Daily? Every 15 minutes? Take control of day-to-day management, monitoring, and verification of your backups with easy-to-implement solutions.
Today’s backups consist of a “set it and forget it” solution – one that’s flexible enough to scale with your business, and fully managed and supported to minimize the time you’ll (or your IT consultant) spend hands-on with the platform.
Here are the 6 Features and Benefits:
1. Complete Disaster Recovery and Cloud Replication
In the event of a disaster, we’ll spin up your complete site as virtual machines on a private network in the cloud, with VPN access for you and your clients. Downtime is minimized, and business operations can continue as usual.
2. Secure and Reliable Backup
Data backed up to a local appliance can be replicated offsite to the cloud, so your clients can enjoy true peace of mind knowing that business continuity will be maintained even in a disaster scenario Continuity247 uses a world-renowned reliable public cloud (IBM’s Cloud, SoftLayer infrastructure), and replicates data across multiple datacenters to help guarantee reliability and availability.
3. Flexible Hardware Support
Continuity247 is hardware agnostic, meaning we provide system requirements and supported configurations and allow you to choose which hardware vendor you’d like to purchase from – helping you maintain your existing vendor relationships. And if you’ve got clients with varying needs, don’t worry; installing Continuity247 is easy, and you’re free to setup whichever configurations are best-suited for each environment.
4. A Proven Technology Foundation: Born in the Cloud
Unlike hardware-oriented solutions, the technology powering Continuity247 wasn’t retrofitted to support the cloud – it was built in the cloud, for the cloud. This proven technology already protects nearly 250,000 servers, and is trusted by nearly 1,800 web hosting providers – and we’re committed to continue expanding and improving it to meet your needs. Continuity247’s Continuous Data Protection (CDP) technology minimizes the amount of storage used on the appliance and in the cloud.
5. Single Pane of Glass Management
Easily manage all of your clients’ backups from a central location, with remote access to appliances, protected machines (with Continuum RMM), and the cloud. The ITSupport portal also features real-time reporting on backup deployment and cloud usage, and quick access to complete ticketing support.
6. Seamless Integration other programs
When Continuity247 is combined with Continuum’s Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) platform, you can deliver complete, comprehensive end-to-end IT management and data protection. Installing RMM gives our NOC technicians access to protected machines, expands the scope of issues they can resolve, and provides you with direct access to your machines from the IT Support portal.
