Cloud Backup

Secure enterprise class offsite backup for critical data.

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.

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.
