Enterprise Backup

Protect Your Company
Another strategy that is gaining in popularity is that many of the Enterprise Backup solutions include a cloud connection option.  Where local backups can reside on the local disk repository and then replicated to the cloud. This can then be tied into recoverability options to recover in the cloud if needed. 

This sets things up quite nicely for a relatively new offering that is being introduced, that of Backup as a Service (BaaS) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).These options can address many of the headaches and pain points that IT executives have known and feared for years.

Protecting the data, needs to be a priority.Having a plan to recover that data is just as important.Any Enterprise Backup solutions needs to include a recovery plan.Without it, when you actually need to recover, things may not go as smoothly as you would like.

Another important thing to note is that Cloud Storage and Cloud backup are not necessarily the same thing. Many of us use Cloud Storage for dropping files that we need to get access to from multiple locations, but this does not mean that dropping corporate application data into a cloud storage vendor will allow you to recover those applications in the event of a need.

Cloud backup includes the ability to put our data into the cloud in a consistent manner while also allowing us to recover those applications in that same order.
