Ten reasons to use Vaulten Online Backup
Reason #1: Start Backing up Instantly
To start protecting your digital assets is just a few clicks away. Just download and install the Vaulten Online Backup software and you're done! It even automatically selects your important files and folders to backup (with optional advanced configuration). It's that simple. You do not need to make any infrastructure changes to start benefiting from automated backups with off-site storage. You need not buy or install any hardware. Vaulten Online Backup ensures you can be ready to start your backups in minutes. And once you've started, backups take place automatically with no strain on your resources.
Reason #2: Get the IBM Advantage
Vaulten Online Backup lets you take advantage of the depth and breadth of IBM technology in backup and recovery, security and data availability without having to develop and maintain this expertise in-house. When you use the Vaulten Online Backup service, all of your backups are transmitted and stored at IBM managed data center with bank-grade encryption. The encryption can be decrypted only with your user credentials. Data stored at the IBM data centers are automatically replicated across multiple, geographically separate data centers. You do not need to develop this expertise or deploy advanced replication; we've taken care of it for you.
Reason #3: Only Pay for What You Need
With Vaulten Online Backup, there is no need to tie-up budget in software or hardware purchases. Instead, you pay only for what you need, with a steady and predictable cost based on the amount of data you are protecting. With this approach, there is no upfront infrastructure investment required. And the best part is that the Vaulten Online Backup subscription fee starts at just US $9.95 per month.
Reason #4: Protect Data from Disasters
Every computer user knows that they need a good disaster recovery plan. Unfortunately, this type of planning can get pushed aside when the focus is on meeting other goals. Planning for a disaster tends to be neglected until a crisis occurs at which point, it is often too late. Protecting access to data is a critical component of any disaster recovery plan. When your servers and your backups are in one physical location, then if that location is unavailable for any reason, you are in trouble. Using Vaulten Online Backup gives your disaster recovery planning an instant boost:
- Critical data is available off-site at the World's most secure IBM servers.
- IBM uses secure and redundant data center facilities. If one data center facility fails, the data is available at another.
- You may restore backup data to any computer connected to the Internet that is running the Vaulten Online Backup software, which you can easily install.
Reason #5: Reduce Compliance Risks
Legal regulations as well as industry best practices require that you provide long-term, off-site storage for essential business data particularly regulated healthcare or financial data. Yet managing and maintaining off-site storage is a stretch for many smaller businesses.
Because Vaulten Online Backup automatically stores your backup data in secure, off-site storage, it can play an important role in your regulatory compliance strategy. Further, data stored is versioned, which means multiple (configurable) versions of the same file is stored securely for future reference.
Reason #6: Utilize Your Resources for Other Tasks
Vaulten Online Backup gives you a state-of-the-art backup solution, with redundant off-site storage, without the management overhead that an on-premises solution typically requires. Backups are automated, providing always-on protection. Backups are triggered automatically by file changes or creation. In addition, you avoid the other tasks of maintaining an on-premises solution, including:
- Tracking and managing backup tapes and off-site storage
- Installing or managing backup hardware
- Tracking licenses or support contracts
- Upgrading software versions etc.
Using Vaulten Online Backup, not only can you free existing resources to do other, more strategic tasks, but you can also allow the rest of your users to recover their own data at the file level.
Reason #7: Harness the Power of On-Demand Recovery
Using Vaulten Online Backup, you can select just a single file, folder or a section of your computer like 'My Documents' or 'Desktop' to be restored anytime on any machine. Besides, not only you can select a different location for the data to be restored, but also you can select an older version of the file to be restored. This way you need not restore the whole batch of data that was backed up but just those files that you need.
Reason #8: Store Backups in the World's Most Secure Data Centers
Vaulten Online Backup gives small business and individuals state-of-the-art backup facilities powered and secured by IBM that are beyond the scope of most small and mid-sized businesses. In the data centers, redundant components and fault tolerant technologies are used (such as server clustering, software mirroring, and hardware mirroring) to ensure service and data availability at all times. This ensures that breakdown of a component will not affect your files in any way. All your data is behind a secure firewall in a secured demilitarized zone (DMZ).
Reason #9: Reduce or Avoid Infrastructure Complexity
One of the great benefits of Vaulten Online Backup is that someone else has the job of building and maintaining the infrastructure. You avoid the complications that come with adding elements such as backup media (tapes or disks), devices (tape drives), storage systems and transportation and management systems to your infrastructure. Because backups are automated, the likelihood of human error which can put your backup data at risk is also reduced. Using Vaulten Online Backup, you can have confidence that your backups are truly secure and available at all times.
Reason #10: Maintain Flexibility for Changing Business Requirements
With Vaulten Online Backup, you pay only for the storage that you use. Vaulten offers flexible pricing tiers, based on storage utilization. As your data grows, you can easily add capacity to your service, without having to plan for and invest in in-house storage. No capacity planning or upfront investment is required. For a growing business, this flexibility is especially important.
