Norfolk’s world-class data centre has partnered with disaster recovery specialists to launch an easily accessible data backup service for businesses of all sizes.
The stand-alone service provides a simple way for any organisation to create a fully encrypted backup of their data. Should their IT be subject to an attack or failure, their data can be quickly recovered and restored. With a 6,000% increase in ransomware attacks since 2015, the new service is expected to prove highly popular.
“This is an important development for MIGSOLV” says David Manning, MIGSOLV’s Managing Director. “As well as housing physical servers and IT, we can now provide a simple way for every organisation to take advantage of our facilities and protection.”
The new cloud-based service utilises hardware housed in MIGSOLV’s data centre and managed by Blocz IO. A 256-bit encrypted copy of an organisation’s data is taken from their existing IT and, in the event of a cyber or physical attack, it can be quickly recovered and thus restore the organisation to business-as-usual.
“This is a great way for smaller businesses to feel safe and secure.” adds David. “They have the reassurance of a full disaster recovery backup, with peace-of-mind they know exactly where and how their data is being protected.”
As well as businesses looking for an easy way to backup their data, the service is expected to appeal to organisations with an existing backup looking for an additional line of defence. Best-practice guidelines now recommend organisations hold three copies of all sensitive or critical data, stored in different locations. In particular, it will help companies address new GDPR legislation by providing evidence of UK data sovereignty and protection.
