“Information is one of the most important assets that a company owns, therefore no one can afford the risk of not protect data in an appropriate manner. Whether we are talking about sales records, offers, presentations, customer lists or formulas, these data are invaluable and no company can afford to lose. It is much cheaper to protect and restore data from backup than to rebuild your business from scratch. Although it seems simple to put in place a proper internal backup process that allows restoring data when you need it, in reality the process is error prone and consume a lot of resources and time, using a cloud backup service is, from this point of view, an optimal solution. We included StarVault cloud Backup in our cloud services portfolio to support companies by offering them the right service to ensure data protection and security guaranteed without the complexity normally associated with this process. The service was designed to offer the best alternative to traditional backup methods, companies can now streamline their operating costs, optimizing work processes and ensuring the continuity of operations, all with zero initial investment.” said Catalin Paunescu, Star Storage CEO.

The service is part of the company cloud services portfolio, which all organizations (public or private) benefit of reduced IT costs, zero initial investment, pay only for what is consumed, using the request/on demand resources, immediate activation and use, permanent availability and mobility.
