We refer to this as cyber resilience – and it’s critical for today’s data-dependent businesses. With a complete stack of data protection solutions from Carbonite, businesses can implement a recovery-first approach to cyber resiliency, determining first the urgency of the data or system, and then deploying the kind of protection that will deliver the recovery objectives for that system. This means real-time replication and mirroring for critical servers and applications, periodic snapshots for disaster recovery and point-in-time retention for historical data. Carbonite helps ensure higher levels of uptime by protecting business data from adverse events like ransomware, data loss and catastrophic outages. We also support compliance for businesses in regulated industries. Highly flexible plans and capex-friendly pricing solve the challenge of having to choose between niche solutions for the sake of one high-priority system.
