Cobweb Launching Cloud Backup Service for UK SMBs

Cobweb Solutions Limited announced Cloud Backup.

Providing secure, cloud-based backup for business-critical information and systems, the solution will reliably support BC for SMBs in the UK. Companies will be able to rapidly recover, whenever necessary, without affecting business as usual.

According to a 2014 DR study from IDC, approximately 70% of the UK’s 5.2 million SMBs do not currently have sufficient protection for their business-critical data. Cloud Backup allows any organisation to backup their servers, desktops, and entire HDD images. In fact, SMBs can rely on the new solution to backup any file-based system, whether physical or virtual, from Windows to Linux-based.

Flexibility and agility are the key to business advantage, and technical solutions should reflect this. If an incident occurs to a business with Cloud Backup, fast recovery means that the business can be up and running again in no time, with a few simple clicks. This recovery is flexible, from restoring a single file to entire servers. As it runs from a cloud-based solution, the data can also be restored to any machine, regardless of platform or location, meaning the solution can adapt with the business.

Cloud Backup’s Bare Metal Restore facility even means that an replica of any system and user data can be created in one step. This then allows businesses to restore that entire replica to a new drive in case of a critical failure.

The key to Cloud Backup’s swift data restoration is a UK-based data centre. Public cloud backup services are often unable to guarantee fast restoration, but by solely using a UK data centre the company can provide the fastest possible data restoration times. This minimises the time UK businesses are without their crucial data.

“Backup is critical to any business, but restoring lost data can often be complex and time-consuming, particularly for growing organisations,” commented Ash Patel, director, business transformation, Cobweb. “By implementing our cloud-based backup solution, businesses can rest easy in the knowledge that their mission-critical data can be restored quickly and to any machine and location necessary.“

Management of backups is simple, with a single dashboard providing an overview of all backup tasks at any given point. Administrators are able to see at a glance whether all backups have completed, and can identify any potential issues.

Smart features mean that network consumption and storage costs are reduced, as well as the impact during business hours. By only updating the data that’s changed or new since the previous backup, company’s solution performs as efficiently as possible.

Cloud Backup is charged on a consumption-based model, meaning businesses pay for the storage they use.
