Consonus Remote Backup Services Offer Cost-Effective Data Backup Solutions

Data backup and recovery is serious business for any company that deals with client information, customer accounts, medical histories, financial information, or any sensitive data. Data retention can be mandated by federal law, required for daily use, or utilized to satisfy a business plan. Long-term data recovery is vital; lost data can cause massive headaches and lost income. Even stored data needs to be readily accessible and cost efficient in order to meet business needs.

Consonus offers remote backup services and data center services to meet the unique needs for long term, cost-effective, and reliable data retention. IT managed services that operate smoothly add to any company’s bottom line.

A Cost Effective Backup Alternative

Remote backup services offer highly cost-effective IT managed services. Typical data storage systems require large capital outlays, office space, and maintenance and support personnel. Each backup and recovery cycle then requires significant operating costs.

Consonus’ remote backup services totally eliminate capital costs and start-up lead times. Automated, scheduled information backup also reduces operating costs and eliminates overhead. Services are available on a utility, pay as you go basis, so clients never have to pay for idle resources. Consonus’ specialization in IT best practices means cost savings can be passed down to clients who do not have the same technical expertise. Overall, data storage costs can be dramatically reduced across the board with remote data center services.

Reliable, Automated Backups

No matter what the overall cost might be for data center services, reliability is paramount. Lost data can be priceless when business demands or government regulations require data retention. Local, disparate data storage devices are particularly susceptible to being lost, damaged, or eroding during long storage periods.

Utilizing Consonus remote backup services creates reliable systems on a turnkey, subscription basis. Data backup is done automatically to ensure comprehensive records, and managed IT services provide an automatic notification if any backup happens to fail. All data is routed through a single access point whether it is being stored or retrieved. Recent data images are retained on disk for instant retrieval.

If disaster does strike, Consonus can restore data remotely through the Internet or by delivering a portable disk.

Optimal Data Compression to Speed Up Transfers

Data storage is charged by the megabyte whether remote services or a local system is used. Consonus focuses on compression and de-duplication procedures in order to reduce file size footprints to offer efficient storage. Reducing file size also facilitates data transfer, indexing, and searching for easy usage and retrieval. Having data available in a timely manner is often the difference between seizing an opportunity and missing it. Trim file indexes better enable users to examine data at a glance and flexibly utilize its contents; optimal data compression speeds up data usage.

Flexibility To Test Data Integrity Any Time

A remote backup service provided through a high-availability Internet connection offers clients data flexibility. Consonus training is geared towards educating users on the data center services available and the ability to perform data restores at their own initiative. IT personnel do not have to be called in, no one has to search through a server room or storage closet, and an off-site area is completely unnecessary. Backup tapes never have to be identified and located and long server searches are not required. Clients can perform regular online restores, allowing them to test the integrity of their data at any time.

Being free to access data and backups at any time grants every user the freedom to focus their resources on their business objective rather than worrying about technology.

Specialized Data Security

In today’s business climate, data security is recognized as a vital aspect of IT managed services. Sensitive data can be the target of theft or vandalism and any compromised business critical data can wreck havoc on a company’s operations.

Consonus data center services focus on encryption during data transmission and storage. Consonus also follows all industry best practices and standards to stay at the cutting edge of security methods. A specialized IT firm is able to dedicate the necessary attention and resources to data security that many other businesses cannot afford. That specialization is integrated into all IT managed services for the benefit of our clients.

Even if the risk to data is natural and not man-made, redundant secure systems and remote storage mitigate the effects of natural disasters, equipment damage, or power failures. In the end, remote backup services place heavy emphasis on cost-effective data center services without sacrificing reliability or security. Consonus delivers managed IT services to meet business needs.
