Why Backup With CloudAlly
Veeam
BaaS on the cloud
Impact
- Onsite backup increases storage, infrastructure, and maintenance costs.
- Backup-as-a-service means no additional costs and no maintenance hassles. For on-premise backups, you are responsible for installation, upgrades, maintenance and support of the backup servers.
- It is in keeping with the 3-2-1 rule of backup that recommends that backups are not co-located.
- Since the backed up data is stored in cloud storage, it is not easily attacked by ransomware and can be quickly recovered.
How CloudAlly Helps
- CloudAlly Backup includes unlimited cloud storage with unlimited retention on industry-leading AWS servers on a virtual private cloud with intrusion detection.
- Backups are not connected to the corporate network or synced with any corporate devices / endpoints in any way. The backup data is taken directly from the MS Azure 365 tenant and written directly to AWS in a cloud-to-cloud connection only.
