Data loss is about the worst thing that can happen to a business. You can lose a lot of valuable data due to fire, power failure, a cyber attack or someone who clicks on a wrong link. To arm yourself against this, a good backup strategy is indispensable. In this blog you can read more about how to protect your data in a smart way.
Research by Dell EMC shows that data protection is a major challenge. Last year, as many as 82 percent of all IT decision makers worldwide experienced unplanned system outages. In doing so, 35 percent of those surveyed lost data. An average loss of about $1 million. Data loss makes employees less productive, the development of new products and services stagnates, reputational damage is caused and customers drop out.
Making backups is one way to prevent data loss. Organizations release their data for this purpose: to the cloud or to their own, second data center. They prefer to combine this step with a reduction in costs and management costs. There are all kinds of (technical) solutions available to achieve this. It depends on many factors which is the best choice for your organization.
There is therefore no standard recipe, but there are important questions to answer beforehand:
Dell’s Integrated Data Protection Appliance (IDPA) is a total data protection solution. It is hardware and software in one. You spend little time on rollout and management. This is because smart software automates daily tasks for management, monitoring and reporting.
The spearhead of the solution is the full integration of the application landscape. The IDPA protects all your apps, from Office 365, to OneDrive, Oracle and SAP. You don’t have to secure them all separately.
The smart software is able to strongly compress data and deduplicate files. As a result, you can store a lot of data on it. You don’t have to worry about losing the overview, because your art can see exactly where data is. So if a customer asks you to delete their data, you can always find it.
Cloud integration also ensures that you store data where the price for terabytes is lowest. This can lead to significant savings, especially for organizations with a lot of data that has to be stored for years.

We can also unburden you with our services, such as Backup as a Service (BaaS) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).
