MegaPath Offers Hosted Data Backup and Storage

With this offering and the company’s new Hosted Microsoft Exchange and Hosted Microsoft SharePoint collaboration services, MegaPath is continuing to make it easier for customers to do business – whether it’s across the country or around the globe.

Hosted Data Backup and Storage services allow businesses to remotely backup the data on their servers and PCs, and restore their data after a loss. The service leverages an installation wizard, enabling IT staff to schedule backups and freeing them to focus on other internal IT priorities. Additionally, there is no hardware to purchase or tapes to maintain.

To deliver this off-site data storage solution, MegaPath partnered with Mozy, an online backup service for consumers and businesses. The backup customer data is safely stored remotely at data centers with secure card and biometric authorization, redundant power systems, multiple network providers and cooling measures. If needed, organizations have access to in-client, in-Windows, Web-based or DVD data restore options.
