2 September 2019, Johannesburg โ Saicom has added a data management solution to its evolving product stack, driven it says, by customer demand for world class services that are customisable to local business requirements and realities.
โOur clients have come to rely on us for customisable solutions that deliver best-of-breed capabilities, and our data management solution is no different. We bring a customer-first, consultative engagement approach to our data management offering that goes beyond just back-up,โ says Josh Grunewald, cloud hosting manager at Saicom.
The company believes that while data backup is a critical business requirement, it is only as good as the last restore, and that the key to successful data management, is understanding what you can do with your business data.
Says Grunewald, โwe wanted to make sure that our clients are clear on how their data can be used to make their businesses better through testing in non-production environments; mitigate risks by eliminating ransomware in backed up data and using that to restore production environments.โ
Grunewald adds that before embarking on data management Saicom works with clients to develop a plan that addresses issues like when and how data is backed up, how often it is accessed and managed once backed up, how they are planning on using their data, and most importantly, how quickly they want or need to be able to restore data.
โThe plan should be a blueprint for the organisation and should not be seen as just an insurance policy in the event of data loss or corruption, but as an opportunity to test, run reports and do integrity checks in isolated environments,โ adds Grunewald.
Saicom data management is built on Veeam Software capabilities, and is backed by highly skilled technical support services and data management engineers.
Concludes Grunewald, โwe want to ensure our clients get the most out of the services and solutions they partner with us for, and we believe that differentiates us from many of the larger providers. We are here to help!โ
