The unthinkable, right? But in today’s digital world, it is a real threat. That is where cloud backup and disaster recovery step in as your business’s ultimate safeguard. These essential tools protect your data and ensure your operations continue uninterrupted. At Entrust Network, we are committed to safeguarding your business’s future. We provides tailored cloud solutions to keep your data secure and your operations resilient. Do not leave it to chance – trust us to protect what matters most. Data Protection and Security Cloud backup ensures that your data is continuously saved to a secure off-site location, safeguarding it from threats like hardware failures, accidental deletions, or cyberattacks. But protections does not stop there – disaster recovery goes a step further by providing a comprehensive strategy to swiftly restore your operations in the event of catastrophic event, whether it is a natural disaster or a major system failure. The recent cyberattack on the Mustafa Group, where a hacker claimed to have stolen 180GB of sensitive customer and employee data, serves as a stark reminder of the importance of these measures. (Read here) This incident emphasises that businesses must go beyond mere backup solutions and implement robust disaster recovery protocols to mitigate the impact of such breaches. At Entrust Network, we do not just rely on Microsoft or Google for your data’s safety. We provide an additional offsite backup, offering a double layer of security. We use Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage), a versatile device designed for centralised data storage, management, and sharing, equipped with an array of backup and storage features.

2. Minimised Downtime In Singapore, businesses face signi?cant ?nancial losses due to operational downtime. A study revealed that local companies lost over S$1.3 billion (approximately US$1 billion) in a single year due to data loss and downtime, with an average of more than three working days of unexpected downtime within that period. (Read More) Beyond immediate revenue loss, these outages affect customer trust and disrupt business continuity. Even brief downtime episodes can lead to lasting ?nancial repercussions, underscoring the critical need to minimise disruptions. When disaster strikes, cloud-based disaster recovery solutions can be a game changer, enabling businesses to swiftly restore systems and data. This rapid recovery minimises downtime and ensures operations continue with minimal disruption. By quickly bouncing back, businesses maintain customer trust and keep operations running smoothly, essential for long-term success and resilience. Cost Ef?ciency Traditional disaster recovery setups often demand hefty investments in physical infrastructure and resources, which can strain budgets, especially for smaller businesses. Cloud solutions revolutionise this approach by providing scalable and cost-effective alternatives. Imagine only paying for the resources you actually use, rather than investing in expensive hardware that may sit idle. This ?exibility not only helps manage costs more effectively but also ensures that business, regardless of their size, can access top-tier recovery solutions without breaking the bank. An article from CIO discusses why disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) can be a cost-effective solution for businesses. It is a smart way to stay resilient while keeping expenses under control. Scalability and Flexibility Cloud services provide an unparalleled scalability and ?exibility, allowing your business to effortlessly adapt and grow. Need more storage or additional features? No problem – cloud providers can quickly accommodate your evolving needs without the burden of signi?cant upfront investments. Imagine scaling your IT resources as easily as ?ipping a switch. At Entrust Network, we provide enterprise backup and recovery solutions to mitigate unexpected events such as hardware failures, natural disasters, and cyberattacks, which can cause irreparable damage to storage data systems, resulting in signi?cant data loss and downtime. Remote Accessibility Cloud-based backups and recovery solutions offer unparalleled convenience by enabling remote access. This means you can restore your data and applications from virtually anywhere with an internet connection, a game-changer for businesses with remote or distributed teams. Imagine having the power to manage and recover your critical information regardless of where you or your team members are located. At Entrust Network, we take remote access seriously. We have implemented stringent security measures, including whitelisting speci?c IP addresses to ensure that only authorised users can access your backups and recovery solutions.

Updates and Legal Compliance With cloud services, you can leave behind the challenges of managing updates, maintenance, and security. At Entrust Network, we take care of all these tasks, ensuring your data is secure and accessible at all times. This not only lightens the load on your internal IT team but also allows you to seamlessly bene?t from the latest technological advancements. Navigating industry regulations, especially around data retention and disaster recovery, can be complex, but cloud backup solutions simplify this process. These solutions often come with features that help businesses remain compliant, reducing the risk of legal issues and ?nes.
