Onsite vs. Offsite Servers

While onsite server backups may protect your customers from some server crashes, most IT professionals will agree that full server recovery can be a hit-or-miss proposition that may require hours of troubleshooting and numerous IT resources—in short, additional expenses. And corrupted files and unexpected hardware problems are only the beginning. What recourse do your clients have when data is lost to unexpected events like fire, floods, building or roof collapse, and theft?

Today's smart companies think ahead and are prepared for the unexpected by using automated offsite server backups to protect all of their data. After all, a company's data is its backbone and the impact of data loss on your clients can range from mere annoyance to potential devastation, the kind that can even involve lawsuits and public relations (PR) damage control. Even still, reliable server backups are no longer a matter of good PR—protection of client data is also the right thing to do.

In fact, several Federal and State regulations require offsite backup to protect customer data across many industry sectors. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), for instance, protects healthcare patients and their providers by requiring backups of detailed records; the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requires all public companies to adhere to specific IT data-protection guidelines; and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 protect securities brokers, dealers, and consumers by mandating accurate trading backups.

Only offsite backup provides true protection of contact lists, accounts receivable and customer lists from all types of unexpected disasters, from server crashes and rolling blackouts to accidental loss and corporate spies. And whether your client only needs a few files restores or the entire server, data is available immediately, eliminating tedious searching through lots of tapes, CDs or DVDs and finger-crossing, hoping that the loss is recoverable. Automated offsite backup replaces these quickly antiquating methods that can be easily damaged, misplaced, or stolen. Why run the risk of irreparable data loss and incur additional costs?

Countless companies are also migrating from onsite to offsite backups because offsite backup servers are more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly. Rather than take up a lot of onsite physical storage space that needs to be maintained and policed, companies can take advantage of the shared infrastructure of a secure offsite backup server provided on a pay-as-you-go basis, saving both money and energy. This cost-efficient and eco-friendly model is already gaining momentum among top and mid-tier companies.

Not only do our automated backups require less human resources, we also handle all of the maintenance and monitoring of the system so your customers can concentrate on more pressing development issues than time-consuming server maintenance.
