A Backup Plan along with a Disaster Recovery Plan Is A Necessity For Every SME

Secure

All data is encrypted while migrating to the cloud and once it’s in Azures data centres. Once in Azure your backup is replicated across multiple data centres with 6 copies of the data stored in each. Tier3Tech can help you understand the cost vs your on premise solution and help you implement the solution.

Cost Effective

Azure Backup works out much more cost effective than traditional tape solutions and ongoing licencing. Retention of your data can be much greater as well without worrying about total size of backup and purchasing more storage.

Flexible & Efficient

Azure only sends incremental changes and has built in compression. If your requirements change then it’s simple to change your backup settings and increase or decrease the retention.

Reliable

Azure Backup doesn’t rely on tapes being changed or hard drives being swapped over. It removes the risk of human error. Tier3Tech can enhance this further by providing an automated managed service to monitor the backup solution and resolve any issues if they arise.

Key metrics for a successful Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

There are two key metrics to determine when formulating a robust BCP.

Recovery time objective (RTO)

How quickly a server, it’s application and it’s data is recovered following a disaster.

Recovery point objective (RPO)

The data point you recover after a disaster.

As part of a strategic backup and disaster recovery assessment, we will assign an RTO and RPO to your applications and data depending on their business-criticality.

“The Tier3Tech engineers delved into the metrics around uptime neccessity for the business in an easy to understand manner. We asked ourselves what was critical for continuous uptime other than emails and data which was under the Microsoft 365 suite. Our Sage and other line of business apps were essential for continuous uptime due to the nature of the business as it is fast moving when it comes to logistics and deliveries. We now have peace of mind that this area is something we do not need to panic about in the event of a disater, natural or otherwise.”
