Solution Features & Benefits


Backup and protection of your critical data is essential to your Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery policy plans.
For some industries backing up data and protecting it on a secure off site location is a mandatory regulatory compliance and governance requirement.








Data Compression

 Unlimited Storage

Logging & Reporting

 Restore Data 24/7

Any Cloud

Don’t get locked into your vendor’s cloud. We let our customers choose their cloud target. Choose to easily replicate your data and applications to any vendors cloud, a private cloud, or popular third-party clouds such as AWS, Azure and vCloud.


> Public Cloud Data Backup

> Private Cloud Data Backup

> Hybrid Cloud

On-Premises and Cloud combination

 Provides customers with the choice of hybrid (or “mixed cloud”) deployments to enable customer choice in data storage location, including multi-destination storage.


Incremental Backups

 Latest data backup technology enables the reduction of backup times to off-site / cloud data storage locations. An initial full backup is taken, but all future backup data will only consist of new data - significantly reducing backup windows and reducing costs (administrative and infrastructure).


Replicate data from your existing data backup appliance to a public or private cloud location / vault in a secure SSAE 16 certified data centre.
Data Loss Prevention

Protect corporate data from consumer / personal online file sharing and personal cloud services like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive and Box.
Encryption

Data Encrypted
  • Cloud Backup Solutions incorporate WAN optimisation, de-duplication and encryption to speed up data transferal
  • AES-256 data encryption in transit and at rest
  • Authorised for Government data marked 'Restricted' 


Invisible Backup Agents

Automatically mass deploy backup agents to branch office laptops and you’re all set. No specialised IT resources needed.
Agentless Backup

Options for agentless / no software based backup.
