Traditional backup is now a broken and outdated solution, and with technology developing at a rapid pace, a more effective answer is needed, according to Syntax IT Services Director David White.

He explained: “Nobody knows the problems better than today’s backup administrator. Tape drives don't always cooperate, servers don’t transfer data to backup servers quickly enough, and restores take too long. Couple this with the size of the average data growing 100,000% over the last 15 years, and you can see why a new approach is needed.”

Syntax IT Services has therefore developed a Managed Solution, which presents a radically different approach to data protection that will help businesses overcome the obstacles of backup and restore.

This new, holistic concept addresses today’s data protection challenges created by large data growth, expanding data types (i.e., email, databases and virtual servers) and bandwidth limitations caused by larger remote offices and mobile user.

Syntax IT Services’ Managed Solution intelligently combine multiple functions and processes to unify backup and recovery with instant availability and automated disaster recovery (DR).

Managed backup services addresses several areas:

• How server virtualisation has disrupted traditional backup processes - forcing companies to reconsider their approach to typical tape backup and restore
• How to improve data protection while lowering DR cost
• How to dramatically reduce the amount of data replicated for disaster recovery
• How to implement application centric data protection across any application
• How to mix physical and virtual server environments into a heterogeneous disaster recovery solution
• How to automate complex, time consuming, error-prone DR procedures
