In a recent survey conducted by Vanson Bourne[1], a staggering 83% of organizations agree that the hybrid multi-cloud approach stands as the preferred backup strategy. Considering this dramatic surge in digital transformation, the management and protection of data have assumed unprecedented importance. As organizations increasingly incorporate hyperscale cloud environments such as AWS and Azure, there is strong demand for dependable and efficient Managed Backup as a Service (BaaS) solutions. For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), adeptly navigating this evolving landscape necessitates remaining informed and adaptable to emerging trends and challenges. Read more

Cloud computing has become ubiquitous and has reached the point where nearly half of all workloads run in the cloud. Currently, most organizations operate a combination of on-premise and cloud workloads, known as a hybrid cloud. Typically, they keep key services within their data centers and use the cloud for customer-facing services, software applications and flexible data storage. The hybrid cloud model is ideal because it is not always possible, or even wise, to move everything to the cloud for reasons like cost, performance and compliance. Read more

In the dynamic world of data security, certifications are the cornerstone of trust, assuring a product's resilience against potential threats. Read more

The fact that organizations need to backup their Microsoft 365 deployments has been well established. Microsoft is based on a shared responsibility model in which Microsoft is responsible for protecting the underlying infrastructure, and subscribers are responsible for protecting their own data. This means that if you use Microsoft 365, you have to back up your own data.  In their Services Agreement, Microsoft makes it very clear on the delineation around customer data, “We don’t claim ownership of Your Content. Your Content remains Your Content, and you are responsible for it.” Read more
