Always Too Late or Never Too Late!

“A multi-million-dollar startup experienced a major service outage which was caused by an accidental removal of data. This unfortunate incident also encountered major backup restoration failure following an incident of 300GB of live production data was completely wiped.”

In a data-driven world, where information is often a company's most valuable asset. Human errors, technical glitches, cybersecurity failures, and even natural disasters can all lead to a catastrophic loss of data for your businesses. Any loss of data is costly, but when those losses are the result of cybercriminal activities, the stakes are much higher.

Backing up data is a crucial part of a disaster recovery (DR) plan. We must always be ready for the unexpected, because until it’s too late, it’s never too late for data backup.

Backup-as-a-Service Acts as “Safeguards” Against Data Loss Incidents

In a span of few months, remote working has become the new norm across the globe. As most people are now out-of-office, it is important for enterprises to have a secure, off-site and centralized backup system to ensure no data loss.

A centralized backup system allows for greater team collaboration, provides compliance for data protection, and allows data access continuity planning for employee turnover. Data storage with a Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider means that the data can be stored off-site, secured in racks regulated by experts and protected by biometric scanners and security guards. Other than protection, BaaS provider can provide better technical support, greater convenience, and ease of recovery at a lower cost.

The main aim during this period is to ensure that enterprise’s backup strategy meets its goals of business and to mitigate the risk of potential failures due to remote working. This will minimize data loss and improve data recovery process. Successful cloud backup starts with the right vendor. How to find the right vendor amid the complex BaaS ecosystem? Ultimately, it depends on what your organization needs and which cloud backup vendor can deliver that.

Listed in Gartner’s Market Guide for BaaS – CITIC Telecom CPC

According to Gartner’s Market Guide for Backup-as-a-Service, the BaaS provider landscape can be broadly categorized into two segments. First, BaaS providers that own their backup software platform and leverage hyperscale cloud providers to host the platform and backup storage. Second, BaaS providers that partner with enterprise backup solution vendors and offer data protection services using these platforms. The underlying infrastructure is often owned and managed by the BaaS hoster.

Having the right cloud backup vendor provides peace of mind and guarantees business continuity in the event of data loss. There are multiple BaaS providers out there, take the time to understand their backup offerings. Does it include on-premises system and data, cloud-based virtual machines, cloud application data, multi-cloud environment, and others? Consider different seeding methods, different storage locations, data security and customer service support.
