Verizon Business today announced that its suite of managed services, Verizon Remote Backup and Restore, will now include PCs as well as servers and will be available globally -- initially in the European/Middle East/African market and coming soon to Asia/Pacific.
The Verizon Remote Backup and Restore service enables enterprises to replace the tape systems many use today to back up their data and applications to protect against computer network failures. By providing an automatic, network-based backup system, Verizon simplifies the process of keeping data backups up-to-date while alleviating the burden on corporate networks, said Anthony Kessel, senior product manager, IT Solutions.
Additionally, Verizon also uses a technology known as "de-deuplication" in order to sift through the data and make sure that it doesn't copy any data that it has been already stored in its data center. Verizon says eliminating redundant data has the added benefit of reducing bandwidth requirements for companies sending their data over the Verizon data centers every day.
Chris Alvord, the CEO of business continuity software vendor COOP Systems, says his company has used the Remote Backup and Restore service for company servers for the past few years and has found it to be a real time saver.
"We'd much rather spend our time on more complicated tasks in our business such as dependency graph mapping instead of figuring out how we have to adjust our hardware infrastructure for backup," he says. "It would take a lot of time, effort and money and we don't want to do that."
Verizon's backup services for PCs will become available this week in the United States and Europe. The company says the services will be available to enterprises in the Asia-Pacific region by the end of the year.
