10 reasons Online Backup is replacing Tape |
- As hardware prices go down, management costs will continue to take up a larger portion of overall IT costs. Because Online Backup is automated, you no longer have to pay someone to manually load and switch tapes.
- Online Backup is a digital medium with built-in redundancy. This means that, unlike tape, the quality of your backups will never degrade. A recent study concluded that unreliable media was the #2 cause of critical data loss, after human error.
- Many small companies have limited IT resources. This forces them to rely on poorly trained staff that may not be properly trained in backup and storage procedures. Because online backup is automated, it's like having a dedicated expert managing your backups for you. Also, top companies have trained experts on staff who will proactively watch to make sure they were successfully completed. If any problems come up, they will quickly notify you and correct the problem.
- A fully automated backup solution eliminates the possibility of data loss due to human error. A recent Aberdeen Group study concluded that 46% of all critical data loss is due to human error.
- Why buy when you can rent? Because Online Backup is delivered through a “Software as a Service (SaaS)” model, you eliminate unnecessary infrastructure costs without any capital investment.
- Stop trucking your tapes. Why pay to have your tapes shipped and stored to a secure offsite location when it can be done inexpensively over the internet. Often times, this cost alone is enough to justify switching to online backup.
- Finally, you can have the same level of data protection as the world's largest companies. Online backup allows small businesses to use enterprise-level technology such as IBM's Tivoli solution.
- Despite privacy compliance regulations, many companies still back up their data to unencrypted tapes. If these tapes are ever misplaced, lost or stolen, this customer data can easily wind up in unscrupulous hands, and cause problems for customers and companies alike. For an example of how harmful unencrypted backup tapes can be, take a look at this article
- When your data goes missing, every second counts. 10 minutes offline can cost thousands for your business. You can't afford to wait for your tapes to arrive from their offsite storage location. An online backup and recovery solution gives you instant access to your most critical files, allowing you to quickly restore them in order of importance.
- Enterprise backup and recovery solutions give you access to advanced features like “point-in-time” and “bare metal” restorations.
