Backing up data off-site can provide your team with a bit of freedom. By backing up to the cloud, you provide your data with protection from types of data loss including those caused by natural disasters, human error, or any virus attack. While your company may, unluckily, have to deal with these issues, not having to worry about the security of your data is one thing you can check off your list during times of crisis. At LA IT Consultants, we typically track consistency by providing additional data management features, around-the-clock monitoring, and reporting. Some products even include threat detection features that alert you about any potential issues that may affect your data.

Unlike on-premise backup, cloud backup software doesn’t require any additional hardware or software keys or licenses. Out the gate, this reduces startup costs naturally linked with backup. Not to mention that cloud backup software typically takes care of tasks like deduplication and backup size reduction for users as well. It’s a great option for organizations that may be growing faster than their on-premise storage capacity allows. And since there is no hardware to upgrade or reconfigure, your team again saves money by letting a cloud backup provider handle those logistical details. LA IT Consultants makes sure their clients don’t have to face all this.

Cloud backup includes features such as data syncing, data mirroring, instant restore, and more that are not options with on-premise backup. Due to increasing competition in the market, cloud backup solutions are always introducing improvements to the process, which IT teams may not have the time to research and implement themselves. In these scenarios, you need a professional team who will work around this and remain updated with all improvements happening in this field. Additionally, as data is stored in the cloud, it is accessible from anywhere. This means that data accessibility for your team is vastly improved, allowing team members to access data while working remotely. This may be crucial in times of disaster. A potential drawback is that if you don’t have internet access, you can’t access your data.

Many cloud backup solutions on the market include management of data policy and regulations, helping users prevent having to pay potential fines and penalties. Cloud backup software ensures not only the quality of your data, but its protection. Using cloud backup also ensures that your data is encrypted from one transfer end to the other. Encryption provides increased data security, so that data copied to multiple locations does not experience an increased likelihood of being compromised.
Another key feature of cloud backup solutions is that they take care of regulation compliance for users. However, what rules and regulations particular software adheres to depends on factors such as your organization’s industry and country of origin. Therefore, it’s important to thoroughly verify that a particular product meets your team’s compliance-related qualifications.
