Written by KiZAN | Mar 31, 2023 6:03:50 PM

Data is the lifeblood of modern business, and it's crucial to ensure that it's protected and recoverable in the event of a disaster. Data loss can be devastating for businesses, resulting in lost revenue, damaged reputation, and even legal consequences. KiZAN Managed services for backups offer businesses a cost-effective and reliable way to ensure their data is backed up and recoverable in the event of a disaster.

 

What are managed services for backups?

Managed services for backups involve outsourcing the management and monitoring of your backup infrastructure to a third-party provider. The service provider will ensure that your backups are performed correctly, securely stored, and available for recovery when needed. Our Managed backup services can be performed on-premises, in the cloud, or a combination of both.

 

Benefits of managed services for backups

  1. Cost Savings:
    Managed backup services can save your business money in several ways. First, outsourcing backup management reduces the need for dedicated staff to manage backups, saving on salaries and benefits. Second, managed services for backups often provide predictable, subscription-based pricing models that eliminate the need for upfront investments in hardware and software.
  2. Increased Security:
    Data backups are a valuable target for cyber criminals, and data breaches can be costly for businesses. Managed backup services typically include advanced security measures, such as encryption, to protect your data against unauthorized access. Backup service providers also monitor backups for any anomalies or unauthorized access attempts.
  3. Improved Reliability:
    Managed backup service providers offer backup expertise that most businesses do not have in-house. This means that backups are more reliable, consistent, and less likely to fail. Furthermore, backups are monitored continuously, and issues are detected and resolved proactively before they cause any damage.
  4. Greater Efficiency:
    Managed backup services offer businesses greater efficiency by automating backup processes and reducing the time and resources needed for backup management. This allows your IT team to focus on other strategic initiatives rather than spending time managing backups.
  5. Disaster Recovery:
    Managed backup services provide businesses with disaster recovery capabilities that can quickly restore data in the event of a disaster. This ensures business continuity and minimizes downtime and data loss.

 

How do managed services for backups work?

Managed backup services typically involve a service level agreement (SLA) that defines the services provided, response times, and other service metrics. The SLA also specifies backup schedules, retention periods, and recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs).

 

In Conclusion

Managed services for backups provide businesses with a reliable, secure, and cost-effective way to protect their data. By outsourcing backup management to a third-party provider, businesses can save money, improve security, increase reliability, increase efficiency, and benefit from disaster recovery capabilities.
