SaaS Data Protection: Why Backup Saas Data?

 

Jarod Strassmeir, Channel Account Manager, Eastern Region

 

When organizations move to SaaS applications, they gain a large value in the process where they no longer spend the resources to deploy, upgrade, and maintain their data. The question is does your backup provide a complete and comprehensive backup but also Restore options for your most valuable data? If I told you there was a 70% chance of rain, would you bring an umbrella? The same is true of your data. Enabling protection for your SaaS applications is bringing that umbrella. Because you may never know when the data will disappear, but you know you will have the best solution to recover and get it back. During 2022, 70% of organizations will have suffered a business disruption due to unrecoverable data loss in a SaaS application.

Human error is the biggest place where data events happen. Often accidents…but still disruptive, nevertheless. Also, we always need to be vigilant of malicious players and how they want to disrupt your business activities. A thorough backup plan is the answer that is needed.

Come and hear Jarod from Arcserve, speak about having the right backup and restore plan for your business needs. We will uncover the below during the presentation.

  • Comprehensive data protection for Microsoft Office 365, G Suite, and Salesforce
  • Granular recovery and e-discovery options for individual items or entire data sets
  • Customizable data retention policies to meet compliance requirements.
  • Advanced security features, such as encryption and multi-factor authentication
  • Using a centralized dashboard and intuitive interface for ease of use and manageability.

Arcserve is a Gold sponsor of SMBiT Professionals
