Data information increasingly important, enterprises can rely on cloud backup?

Enter the new century, enterprises rely more on network technology to enhance efficiency and competitiveness, a variety of network application mode to increase the amount of data information. According to IDC statistics, the total amount of global information in 2011 reached 1.2ZB (1 ZB equals 1 trillion GB), while the average application data required by each enterprise accounted for 80% of the total data stored.

In this environment, for data information backup becomes more important, in addition to traditional backup methods, the rise of cloud backup in recent years is also a good choice, the prerequisite is to do a good job of network security.

Cloud Backup caters to mobile office trends

We believe that data information has become the lifeblood of enterprise operations, there must be multiple backup security. Some developed countries have even enacted regulations requiring industries such as finance and insurance to have multiple data backups to ensure that important data are protected, such as the fact that the US stock market still works well after the 911 incident, thanks to multiple data backup schemes.

As a result, today's businesses are particularly required to be outside the headquarters, set up a data backup solution, and the emerging cloud backup can effectively solve the problem, the enterprise data stored on the network, even in the overseas employees, can also at any time through the portable smartphone, tablet computers, through the network to obtain the required enterprise data.

Traditional backup mode has its drawbacks

Before the advent of cloud backup services, information backup uses disk, CD-ROM, mobile hard disk and network storage methods, each has some shortcomings. The disk backup reads slowly, the magnetic powder is easily lost after a long time storage, the storage data is easy to lose and cannot be recovered; the backup of the CD is similar to disk backup and cannot be used as a long-term backup tool.

The cost of moving hard drives is cheaper, but portability is a disadvantage that can easily lead to problems such as theft or loss. Enterprises set up their own network storage tools, is the most reliable method, but in operation, maintenance costs are very high, not small and medium-sized enterprises can afford.

Cloud Backup also emphasizes security

From the cost-benefit considerations, it is believed that cloud backup can meet the needs of more users. Although the market has a lot of free online storage and backup software, but these public software security issues can not be ignored, not long ago Hotmail has been handicapped, some users found that the storage of mail missing, which makes the security of cloud backup fully highlighted.

We recommend that enterprises should use a highly secure cloud backup service to encrypt the backup data, even if the data leaked to a third party, the other side can not read sensitive information. For example, the front-line cloud database (Cloud data safe) is a secure way to provide data backups for database servers, mail servers, file servers, and even desktops and laptops via encrypted internet transmission.
