Whether you are the average home computer user or a business owner, if you own a computer then you know the importance of “backing up”. Anytime you or someone else experiences data loss, people will always ask, “Weren’t you backing up?”
Online backup services, such as SugarSync, make it easy for businesses to backup and sync their files. However, have you ever wondered about the rest of your company’s system? After all, if your computers are stolen or destroyed, you lose access to everything and your business is at serious risk.
Backing Up More than Data
The Louisiana company, Absorb, recognizes the need for complete backups by allowing businesses to back up their entire networks. This means that if disaster strikes, you will still be able to access your software and all other information that was on your computers. Essentially, you will have a “cloud network.” Your entire network will be available for your use from any other computer. With this new way of backing up business networks, Absorb is taking online storage to a whole, new level.
How Secure is Absorb?
Absorb touts itself on the security of their system, as well as the convenience. Not only is the service fully insured, each client’s network is provided with custom encryption and layers of security designed around individual needs. This means that what works for one company might not work for another, so Absorb goes the extra mile to create personalized plans.
As far as the security of the actual Absorb storage sites, the company has that covered, too. Absorb protects their storage sites by utilizing battery backups, three-phase power systems and generators to ensure that service is never interrupted. The company also has 24/7 monitoring systems to keep an eye out for natural disasters, such as fires, and man-made disasters, like unauthorized personnel.
Who Needs Absorb?
Primarily, Absorb is an online backup service that focuses on business, small and large. Absorb’s website does not work like other online storage sites where you have set plans and prices to choose from. Absorb creates custom solutions so you have to contact the company for plans and pricing. However, if you are a small business owner, do not let this fact deter you. Absorb customizes each client’s package depending on user-specific needs. You will get a one-of-a-kind online backup plan designed just for you.
While Absorb may be too expensive and overkill for the average home user, it may be the perfect solution for small and medium businesses.
