The Consequences are Unthinkable

From compromised customer information to devastating ransomware attacks, the stakes have never been higher for companies lacking locked-down data. Broadleaf Group works with hundreds of clients who rely on Backup as a Service (BaaS) for a customizable cloud-based storage system that can be accessed and restored at any time, from anywhere.

Service Highlights

Online backup service, also known as cloud backup or backup as a service (BaaS), is a method of offsite data storage in which files, folders, or the entire contents of a hard drive are regularly backed up by a service vendor to a remote secure cloud-based data repository over a network connection.

Backup as a Service (BaaS) is an approach to data backup that involves purchasing backup and recovery services from an online data backup provider. Instead of performing backup with a centralized, on-premise IT department, BaaS connects systems to a private, public, or hybrid clouds managed by the outside provider.

Backup as a Service is easier to manage than other offsite services. Instead of worrying about rotating and managing tapes or hard disks at an offsite location, data storage administrators can offload maintenance and management to the provider.

Service Value and Use Cases

• BaaS may be used when an organization has outgrown its legacy storage backup and would require a costly upgrade, or lacks the resources for on-premise, high-level backup.
• Outsourcing backup and recovery to a provider keeps data accessible or restorable from a remote location, in case of an outage or failure.
• BaaS eliminate CapEx and upgrade headaches with easy subscription-based pricing.

• Eliminate time-consuming infrastructure silos and simplify management by moving backup to an off-site service provider.
• Provides air gap protection for the most valuable data, off-site on redundant infrastructure.
• When it is needed rapidly, recover it anywhere.

• If data is lost or deleted for any reason, backups are readily available and easily located.
• Thanks to multiple levels of redundancy, BaaS keeps multiple copies of your data in separate locations.
• The more levels of redundancy, the better due to the levels of protection your data experiences against loss or potential corruption.
• With encryption, archiving, and rapid recovery built-in, BaaS can accompany all business continuity plans as an element of disaster recovery services.
• Most BaaS providers can make passing compliance audits increasingly straightforward.
