Four Ways to Find Cloud Storage for Businesses

Danvers, MA (PRWEB) October 10, 2012

With the many cloud backup vendor choices at your disposal, choosing the right one can be tough. So, I offer an insiders look at the four key considerations for cloud backup including; vendor focus, security, regulatory compliance and data recovery. The following is a quick breakdown of each.

#1 Cloud Vendor Focus

First you need to match what youre backing up to the appropriate vendor. Most businesses are backing up servers with business operating systems and applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Dynamics, and many more. So if you are backing up servers, you can eliminate the unlimited storage companies that are only for PCs. Also ask for support hours and/or an SLA, because its important to be supported 24/7 in an emergency when you need your data fast.

#2 Security

If you are running a business, you can immediately eliminate file share companies like DropBox to back up your data. Youll need a cloud backup service that encrypts as it backs up your data, and maintains encryption at the destination data center. This way, even if someone were to access the server that your data is on, the data would be useless. Mandate SOC2 compliance to assure security is audited.

#3 Compliance/Regulations

When choosing a cloud backup solution, businesses are well advised to confirm that the vendor’s services are in compliance with your regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, the PCI-DSS, SEC, Sarbanes-Oxley and Graham-Leach-Bliley, among others. Different online backup companies meet each requirement in different ways. Understand how your cloud vendor helps you meet internal compliance requirements and external regulations because one vendor will likely not cover every requirement.

#4 Data Recovery/Retentions

Over and above the retention requirements required by regulations, its important to decide how many versions of your data you need to save and for how long. Consumer cloud backup companies only keep one or two versions of your data, and its often quite hard to recover taking hours or days. Business cloud backup solutions allow you to designate the number of versions saved, and the periodicity (retentions) you require weekly, monthly, yearly or even 7 years as the SEC requires. When it comes to recovering data, you need the speed and flexibility to restore what you need, when you need it.

Most consumers and businesses agree, its important to get your data offsite in case of hardware failure or disaster (water, fire, etc.). However, all of your data is likely not critical for you to protect. So, as a business you need to identify the applications and/or servers that are truly critical to business continuity, and make sure you can recover these quickly after a disaster. Because in the end, cloud storage augments your more comprehensive local backup policy it doesnt often replace it.

ETech 7 Announces the Benefits of Building a Computer Network

(PRWEB) October 13, 2012

ETech 7 recently announced the benefits of building a computer network in an internal conference. According to the officials, computers have become a need for every business and every department and it is always good to keep them connected so that transferring data internally is not an issue. More over one of the major benefits that can be enjoyed by a secure computer network is the reality that the chances of getting important data leaked out of the organization are minimal. Without effective system management programs, a company may not only be losing money to hackers and other online crooks but may also lose its potential revenue generators.

When your customers can come to your website and trust your company, they will most likely buy from you if every other factor is equal. Do your customers trust you with their information? Can they be sure that the next major cyber-attack they will hear about on the news will not impact them because they supplied you with bank accounts or credit card numbers? Can they trust that their information will be used responsibly, and not merely held up for easy theft by an employee in a coffee shop having a moment of inattention? These are a few of the questions raised by Emil Isanov, CEO of ETech 7 Inc., a managed IT services provider.

In the conference there was one major topic discussed which many online marketers skip as many do not understand its importance and the distance it can create. It is about designing a website that looks completely formal. Formal in the sense, where terms are just too rigid that cannot be understood by a common man. People may come to the site looking forward to do business with the organization and just because the terms used are too fancy, the visitor may leave the website and go for another service provider of the same niche. It is very important that a service must be explained in layman’s language as people are able to connect themselves if they are able to decode the message conveyed. The most enjoyed benefit of keeping an internal computer network is that all the IT assets of the organization can be controlled from a central location and is easier for remote monitoring and maintenance.

About the Company

ETech 7 is a technology services company dedicated to providing superior quality service to a wide range of businesses. Leveraging state of the art software and world class service, ETech 7 strives to deliver affordable and reliable solutions for all technological needs.

Any business of meaningful size needs computer networking, backup and disaster recovery, website development and management, search engine optimization, social media management, and inbound marketing. ETech 7 lightens the burden of a full time IT and internet marketing staff by allowing companies to outsource professional setup, routine maintenance, emergency assistance, project development, for IT solutions and internet marketing.

Three Times the Peace of Mind for SMBs

Sydney, NSW (PRWEB) October 15, 2012

Australias cloud services provider Ninefold has joined forces with disaster recovery specialist Triplebackup to offer an affordable, scalable online disk imaging and file backup solution for small to medium sized businesses. The service means a business can now have onsite and offsite data, disaster recovery and business continuity protection across its entire suite of physical, virtual and cloud computers with one solution. It makes near-zero downtime an affordable reality for Australian businesses.

Until now, SMBs have operated with sub-optimal disaster recovery and business continuity solutions. Often theres a need for manual input, such as tape or disk rotation. Many use file backup services like Mozy, or file storage and synchronisation services like Google Drive and AWS S3 that dont mirror the entire server. Others pay for expensive solutions, with multiple license and hardware capex costs. Even when post-disaster recovery is possible it can take days or weeks to rebuild.

Now, using Triplebackups Live Image with Virtual Failover service, a business facing a server loss can start using an exact clone in Ninefolds cloud in a matter of minutes. After a site disaster a server can be restored to the same or dissimilar hardware or to a virtual computer from the bare metal backup, in less than a day.

Its a scenario Dr Darryl Gauld, CEO & Principal, Macquarie Education Group Australia, knows only too well: We recently suffered over a week of downtime while we waited for one of our servers to be rebuilt from offsite file backup. This downtime severely hampered our ability to continue with our business. We were in mid-audit by inspectors from the Board of Studies and everything was inaccessible!

That experience was enough to convince Dr Gauld to move to Triplebackups new solution, which can backup base images up to 750 GB across an ADSL2+ internet connection. Bigger images are accommodated on faster connections it is expected to backup 15+ TB images on National Broadband Network connections. The solution works across a business entire suite of physical, virtual and cloud servers, laptops, tablets and workstations, with no need for a dedicated Internet line, additional hardware, software license or capex investment.

Vanessa Wilson, CEO of Triplebackup, says their service offers SMBs affordable protection that works seamlessly across their entire suite of computers: It combines onsite image backup for local protection, and next-generation online image & file backup, with virtual server failover for market-leading post-disaster recovery and optimum business continuity.

Ninefold ensures that all backed up data and virtual failover servers are kept securely in Australia, without the legal and compliance requirements that come with offshore storage. The low cost of Ninefolds cloud storage means the Triplebackup product can be offered at price-points that suit SMBs and Ninefolds large-scale virtual failover capacity protects businesses even if a major disaster hits an entire city.

Gartner has reported that by 2015, at least a quarter of large enterprises will have given up on conventional backup / recovery software and will employ snapshot and replication techniques instead. The same report (The Gartner Enterprise Backup and Recovery Magic Quadrant Report, 11 June 2012) found that “By 2016, one-third of organisations will change backup vendors due to frustration over cost complexity and/or capability.”

Vanessa Wilson says that the same issues face smaller businesses, but, until now, they didnt have the time or resources to commit to an effective solution. She says Triplebackups technology and user friendly interfaces, combined with Ninefolds hourly virtual server pricing and low cost cloud storage, have facilitated a change that will have a big impact on the SMB sector.

We have made it simple for the end user, who can self-recover their files from their image backup via their own web-dashboard. We provide our channel partners with a scalable, zero capex market-leading service that fits a serious market need. Partners can now rebuild client systems in hours, and offer business continuity within minutes. We will be introducing cloud NAS backup in the coming months, so that our Partners can provide all of their clients backup and disaster recovery needs, from a single web-portal, says Wilson.
