(BaaS) Made Easy

Stop losing sleep over missed backups and failed recoveries. Be 100% confident that your clients’ data is protected and that you can get them back up and running in minutes.

Backup as a service (BaaS) is an approach to backing up data that involves purchasing backup and recovery services from an online data backup provider. Instead of performing backup with a centralized, on-premises IT department, BaaS connects systems to a private, public or hybrid cloud managed by the outside provider.

In the past, organizations had to rely on manual backup and recovery options. This required backing up your data to physical server tapes then physically shipping them offsite – hoping that you never had the need to use them because that would require retrieving the tapes and reversing the process. Moreover, if you wanted a more functional backup and recovery solution, modern options were extremely expensive and required a secondary – and expensive – site owned by the customer. Due to the increase in cloud computing and the increasing threat landscape, the industry has eliminated pesky traditional methodologies and evolved necessary data protection precautions to a simpler format – backup as a service.

How does Backup as a service work?

Backup as a service combines infrastructure resources with remote management services offered by a MSP. This structure allows for modern backup and recovery solutions that quickly breaks down barriers like cost, availability and functionality. The cloud is used to transfer an organization’s data over a secured connection to the MSP’s data center. This system allows for accessible data backups onsite and creates the path for secure disaster recovery offsite.

Backup as a service benefits:

1. The primary benefit of backup as a service is that companies do not need to build their own infrastructure to support disaster recovery processes. Instead, they rely on the managed services provider’s cloud infrastructure to handle their data.
2. Backup as a service is extremely elastic. You do not have to worry about having your own storage and equipment in a data center facility, especially one you may not use very often. With this model, you can easily scale up and down by only paying for your exact data usage.
3. Cloud backup as a service solutions work with virtualized infrastructure. This enables you to back up data and applications at the VM level which simplifies the backup process and speeds up recovery timeframes.
4. Backup as a service is fully managed, 24/7/365 by a MSP. When a disaster strikes, you have a partner that is experienced in recovering backups and getting organizations back up and running as smooth as possible, with minimal downtime.
