BACKUPCARE FOR OFFSITE BACKUP TAPE VAULTING

Reduce the burden on your IT Staff to manage backup processes at remote data centres

Whether your current data centre is situated at a remote, unstaffed location, or if you happen to “stand up” your data centre in a third-party colocation facility, you already know – all too well – how remote sites or isolated servers add a layer of complexity to staffing, training and internal processes for your organisation.

Take the burden off your IT staff from managing a remote data centre facility by letting Iron Mountain Singapore’s knowledgeable specialists handle the offsite backup and data protection process.
