Why is backup important for you?

In this data-rich society, backup and disaster recovery is no longer an accessory to businesses, but an absolute necessity. Dealing with this face-paced community, customers expect businesses to stay online. They want to be able to access the products when they want it, once they want it. 

Another principal basis for having a backup is to deposit important sets of data that can be recovered with ease, in any unfortunate event of data failure, ransomware or cyberattacks, or human errors and the like. Therefore, it is important to have a robust backup technology that supports that.

Most of the businesses have their disaster recovery and the whole backup environment built within their own data center – but it’s risky because once the data service goes down, your whole operation will be down and this is a catastrophe that businesses cannot afford. As companies embark on modernization on that account, they usually look to provide disaster recovery and backup environments on the cloud to prevent data blackout at all costs.

Setting a backup in the cloud also contributes to the advantage of a wider geographical coverage for your business as you can now spread your availability even to different locations and regions. By moving to cloud, you can minimize your cost as you can utilize the versatility of the data storage to scale up as needed to accommodate any possible outage. To optimize your data security for your business workload, you need a backup system that is secure and resilient at all times. 

For this, Veeam on Google Cloud Platform is one of the options that you can consider. Veeam, together with Matrix Connexion, provides the best multi-cloud solution to meet your business objectives by maintaining the same security, flexibility and control like you are running in your own data centre.
