From mitigating the risk of data loss to ensuring business continuity in the face of adversity, a well-crafted backup plan serves as a formidable shield against the myriad challenges that businesses encounter in the digital realm.
Data Recovery Solutions
Data Recovery Solutions are services and technologies designed to retrieve lost, corrupted, or inaccessible data, due to storage corruption, user negligence, or unexpected outage. They include backup and restore solutions, as well as data and email recovery software.
These solutions are critical for ensuring business continuity, data integrity, and minimizing downtime in case of data loss incidents.
Cloud Storage Options
Cloud storage is a cloud computing model that enables storing data and files on the internet. You can access this either through the public internet or a private network connection. The provider securely stores, manages, and maintains the storage servers and network to ensure you have access to the data when you need it.
There are three main cloud storage types, these are, Object, File and Block storage. Choosing the right cloud storage option depends on the specific needs and priorities of your organisation, such as cost, performance, security, scalability, and compliance requirements.
Disaster Recovery Planning
A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is a recorded policy or process that is designed to assist an organisation in executing recovery processes in response to a disaster, protecting a business’s IT infrastructure and promoting recovery. Without a recovery plan a company can suffer data loss, downtime, reputation damage and out of budget expenses.
Encrypted Data Storage
Encrypted data storage involves securing data by converting it into a coded format that can only be accessed or deciphered by individuals who have the appropriate decryption key. Types of encrypted data storage includes Full Disk Encryption; encrypts all data on a disk drive, including the operating system and application files, File-Level Encryption:encrypts individual files or folders, providing more granular control over which data is protected, Database Encryption; encrypts data within a database to protect sensitive information such as customer records, financial data, and intellectual property and Cloud Storage Encryption: encrypts data stored in the cloud, either at rest or in transit, using various encryption techniques and End-to-End Encryption; Encrypts data on the sender’s device and decrypts it only on the recipient’s device, ensuring that intermediaries cannot read the data.
Encrypted Data Storage is essential for protecting sensitive information from unauthorised access, ensuring privacy, and maintaining data integrity.
Offsite Backup Services
An Off-site backup is a method of backing up data to a remote server or to media that’s transported offsite. The two most common forms of off-site backup are cloud backup and tape backup.
Unlike traditional onsite backups, offsite backups ensure a version of the data is stored at a different geological location, safe from any calamities or security breaches.
