eHosting DataFort (eHDF), the region’s leading managed IT services provider and a member of TECOM Investments, has announced the launch of new data storage services popularly known as ‘Managed Remote Back-up services’.
The ‘Remote Back-up’ services offer an efficient and reliable system for daily back-up of critical information by maintaining two copies of such data – one locally at the customer’s premises and the other at a remote location via a secured network.
The Remote Back-up service also features a management console, 24×7 monitoring of backup processes, regular offsite tape backup, as well as monthly reporting that provides customers with an end-to-end managed back-up service.
The service has been introduced in response to the growing demand within the region for secure and reliable data back-up with the option to restore services at a minimal investment and a reduced Total Cost of Ownership.
Yasser Zeineldin, CEO, eHosting DataFort, said: “Data loss is becoming unacceptable as organizations are unable to retrieve lost information. There has been a significant increase in demand for back-up services over the last year, which prompted eHDF to fill the gap with our new service offering. The Remote Back-up service has been conceptualized to avoid data loss and further ensure protected and secure back-up.”
Data back-up is critical to any organization, as data loss can occur at any time due to varied reasons such as system crashes, database corruptions, human errors and natural disasters. Such data losses can severely impair business operations and cause huge commercial and reputational damage.
Zeineldin added: “Despite enterprise IT departments acknowledging the importance of data back-up within the data center as highly critical, data back-up management is often overlooked due to the time spent on daily operational IT activities. It is indeed reassuring that more and more enterprises are looking towards a specialized managed services provider that can take ownership of and manage their daily back-up tasks.”
eHDF already offers a host of data storage and protection services including managed storage, managed back-up and archiving, as well as host-based intrusion prevention, URL penetration testing and remote managed security services.
eHosting DataFort has established itself as a market leader in the field of hosting and managed IT services, the company has been recognized year-on-year as the ‘Best Managed Service Provider of the Year’ across the Middle East. This year, the company has embarked on major capital investments to scale up its data centres in order to address the increased customer demand on its facilities and services.
