WHY CLOUD IS PERFECT FOR

BACKUP AND DISASTER RECOVERY

Why Cloud is perfect for Backup and Disaster Recovery

As per IDC, “by 2020 United States alone will generate 6.6 zettabytes of data, up from 898

exabytes in 2012″.

These figures clearly indicate that a lot of companies are now open to adding a Cloud

component in their disaster recovery and backup strategy. Perhaps the era of tape backups

and disks are on the verge of hitting rock bottom with the Cloud reaching its maturity.

Quite often a lot of our clients ask us why we always ask them to move to the Cloud. Our

answers are straight forward.

The cloud offers automated, third-party-administered, subscription-based services that let

businesses either rely just on the cloud or employ a hybrid approach. Regardless of what

method you use, not backing your files and apps can have drastic consequences.

Even though moving to the Cloud is a more sensible but debatable scenario, many enterprises

are still set in their ways of using tapes and disks to back their critical data.

So why is this bad for your business going forward?

Tapes and disks mean manual administration. This means this system is prone to alot

of errors resulting to greater risks.

We talked about 6.6 Zettabytes of data being generated by 2020. Can you imagine

backing all this data on tapes? On a normal day, a mid-sized company can take hours,

days or even weeks to back all their systems. So how long would 6.6 Zettabytes of data

take? A ridiculous amount of time. So use the cloud.

When we talk of costing and scalability, the traditional approach does not make any

sense anymore. In the cloud – it’s a pay as you go approach, where you REALLY pay

for what you use and you scale as and when required.

How can you predict the intensity of the disaster your business is prone to? You can’t.

So if a disaster is severe, the original backup system can also be destroyed, taking all

backed up data with it.

So how does the Cloud curb all these issues?

In consultation with your trusted technology adviser like Sysfore Technologies, you’ll

choose the right partner for your organization. We help you build your entire road-

map to help secure your data, transverse your network and store it in a data center,

backing it up regularly so that you can retrieve it when required.

Cut costs dramatically. Moving your on-premises backup to the cloud helps cut down

IT expenses by 60-70%.

Cloud backup and disaster recovery gives you high levels of automation, around-the-

clock support, and ease of use, management and recovery.
