Event Recap: Pints, Pies & Data Protection

Last week, we hosted our first ever Pints & Pies Tasting Event. Aside from sampling some delicious craft beers from our friends at Roman Way Brewery, we also explored how businesses can simplify and automate data backup and disaster recovery.

 If the pandemic has made anything clear, it’s that the worst can happen. That’s why it’s crucial for businesses all of sizes to ensure they have a robust plan in place for data backup, disaster recovery and business continuity.

In between tasting beers, we explored some of the core ways that Optec has teamed up with Assured Data Protection to help businesses like yours eliminate the complexity, expense and management of in-house backup and data protection.

Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS)

Many IT teams are stretched in their duties as a result of staff reduction or overall resource constraints. While once common, many teams no longer have a dedicated backup admin in place, which means backup becomes one more task for the broader team to take on.

Fortunately, Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) offers a modern alternative to a traditional approach to backup. Instead of building and maintaining complicated in-house backup processes, your business can simply rely on a specialist to handle it for you.

With Assured DP’s BaaS solution, IT teams can spend more time focussed on business-critical tasks rather than spending valuable time managing backups. Powered by Rubrik technology, our BaaS solution eliminates the need for backup and search servers, disk backup and tape archive.

Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service 

When your company suffers an expected IT failure or outage, it’s critical to get back on track as quickly as possible.

Assured DP’s disaster recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS) solution further enhances BaaS by providing the ability to replicate all the critical information your company holds to an offsite disaster recovery location. In the event of a significant IT failure, your servers, applications and data can be brought online rapidly to allow your business to continue operating with minimal disruption.

Fully managed, flexible and scalable, DRaaS enables your company to have its systems fully recovered by an expert third party at a geographically independent site, eliminating the need to involve staff and resources.

Cloud Backup for Office 365

It’s a common misconception that Microsoft is responsible for securing your data. While it’s true that Microsoft does have policies for basic data retention and infrastructure security, businesses themselves are responsible for the security, privacy, compliance, backup and recovery of their data.

With our Cloud Backup for Office 365 solution, it’s easier than ever to protect your data and maximise your Office 365 investment. Our bundled backup and archiving solution for Office 365 features advanced cloud-based storage to keep your data safe and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! If you missed the event, but would still like to learn more about how we can help you streamline your data protection, please get in touch.
