Data#3 Azure Backup as a Service

Most organisations are unaware of the hidden cost of cloud backup

Organisations have adopted cloud backup with gusto and assume the service is optimised on their behalf. In reality, in the shared responsibility model this responsibility falls on the customer and increasing backup costs are becoming a major concern. With cloud skills shortages and the threat of cyberattacks increasing, IT leaders need to both control cost and have a Disaster Recovery and Continuity plan in place.
Data^#3’s Azure Backup as a Service extends your IT support team and significantly reduces the monthly cost of Azure cloud backup.

Are you struggling with:

• Increasing cost for Azure native backup?
• Efficient cloud backup for VMs?
• Managing hybrid backup solutions?
• Understanding your cloud bill?
• Skill and expertise to manage your cloud backup?

Data^#3’s Azure Backup as a Service is a managed service to optimise and manage your Azure backup. The service optimises Azure backup and related Azure resources in your tenancy.

Assessment to calculate savings

Start with a free assessment and identification of Azure backup, storage, related resources, and ExpressRoute to calculate your monthly savings. We will then onboard your organisation and activate the service by confirming the Azure backup, storage and VMs in scope of the service. During this phase we work closely with your team to create integrations and access to Azure subscriptions.

Backup optimisation

Once the service is established, the backup optimisation of your environment starts and savings will be achieved with your next Azure bill. The service includes monthly service level reporting and access to Data^#3’s Service Desk. Restoration requests are handled by a 24/7 service desk. This service can be expanded to a full Disaster Recovery and Continuity service to provide all round protection.
