Protecting Your Data with Backup as a Service (BaaS)
August 16th, 2024 by admin
In today's digital world, data is one of the most valuable assets for any business. From customer records to financial information, employee files to proprietary research - losing critical data can be devastating. A single incident like a ransomware attack, hardware failure, or natural disaster could bring operations to a standstill and inflict major costs and reputational damage. That's why having a reliable, comprehensive backup and recovery solution is essential for ensuring business continuity and minimizing downtime.
However, managing backups in-house with traditional on-premises infrastructure can be costly, and complex, and require dedicated IT resources and expertise that many organizations lack. Purchasing and maintaining backup hardware and software, provisioning storage capacity, handling software updates and patches, monitoring backups, and testing restores create significant overhead. This is where Backup as a Service (BaaS) comes in as a modern alternative.
BaaS provides a streamlined, cloud-based approach to data protection that is flexible, scalable, secure, and cost-effective. With BaaS, the backup infrastructure is fully hosted and managed by a cloud service provider in their secure data centers. Organizations can simply subscribe to the service based on their needs without major upfront investments or managing the underlying technology themselves.
ProTelesis Backup as a Service delivers robust, enterprise-grade backup and recovery capabilities across any IT environment and location. Their fully managed cloud backup solution utilizes the virtually limitless scalability, flexibility and security of the ProTelesis Cloud. Some key features and benefits include:
- Business Protection
With ProTelesis BaaS, you can protect data across all devices and platforms within your organization - Windows/Linux physical and virtual servers, VMware and Hyper-V environments, desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, cloud workloads, and Office 365 mailboxes and files. Having an all-in-one backup solution eliminates gaps in coverage for any data source.
- Fast Backup and Recovery
ProTelesis enables fast backup performance with features like block-level backup, compression, and deduplication. Their Intelligent Protection technology automatically optimizes protection schedules. But more importantly, their solution provides lightning-fast granular and full machine backup and recovery capabilities. This allows you to quickly restore an entire physical server, virtual machine, user device, or even just specific files and folders when needed - getting your business back up and running quickly after incidents.
- Advanced Security and Compliance
All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest in the ProTelesis Cloud using military-grade AES 256-bit encryption. The BaaS service also provides advanced ransomware protection to detect and prevent compromised data from being backed up. Granular access controls like network login restrictions and customizable data retention settings further enhance security and compliance.
- Predictable Consumption-Based Pricing
Unlike traditional backup solutions with complex and expensive licensing, ProTelesis BaaS uses a simple, predictable consumption-based pricing model with no major upfront hardware or software costs. This makes it easy to budget for your data protection and disaster recovery needs with predictable monthly expenses based solely on your data usage and storage requirements.
- 24/7 Monitoring, Management and Support
With ProTelesis BaaS, you get enterprise-grade service and support - including 24/7/365 monitoring of backups, dedicated account management, and around-the-clock tech support. No need to hire and retain specialized backup engineers and IT personnel in-house. ProTelesis fully manages and maintains the entire backup infrastructure for you as a trusted partner.
- Effortless Scalability and Future-Proof
As a cloud service, ProTelesis BaaS allows you to effortlessly scale protection up or down as your data and infrastructure grow and change over time. You're never locked into rigid capacities that leave you over-provisioned or underprovisioned. The cloud model also ensures you always have access to the latest backup capabilities, avoiding technology obsolescence.
