Cloud Backup for Business

It is imperative that you take your backups seriously.

40% of businesses without a backup do not reopen after a disaster, and another 25% fail within one year. The US Small Business Administration has similar statistics that indicate that 90% of businesses fail within two years after being struck by a disaster.

Living on an island prone to earthquakes and other natural disasters, us New Zealanders need to have disaster plans in place for our businesses as well as our homes and families. Even today, too many businesses do not consider installing a backup solution until after it is too late. The 'She'll be right' attitude is just not good enough. Backups need to be regularly checked and verified to ensure they can be restored.

Cloud backup systems offer:

Enterprise grade backup solutions.
Secure Endpoint encryption.
Split geo-location physical backup.
Storage in some of the World's most secure and reliable data centres.

Fast becoming the favourite of forward-thinking users and businesses, Cloud backup has progressed in leaps and bounds over the last few years. Security and convenience make this a first choice for people who need to have the assurance that their data is protected, despite possible future local damage to devices and systems such as fire, earthquake, theft, etc.

Acre Technologies can find the solution that works best for your business to ensure your data is protected.

ADrive - Cloud based virtual local drive

We can streamline the harnessed power of cloud computing with the ADrive - we map it to act like a local hard drive on your office computers, when in fact you are accessing a centralized file repository stored and backed up in the cloud.

This equals a performance boost in faster file retrieval from a centralized file repository that multiple users can access - in layman's terms, it acts like a hard drive that your entire office can access simultaneously. It looks familiar to your users so that they don't have to learn 'a new way' of doing things. Our experience shows that using ADrive saves time and confusion for businesses and reduces the amount of support calls made to us.
