ContinuitySA has launched Cloud Connect, a cloud-based backup and replication service for the small and medium enterprise (SME).

ContinuitySA Cloud Connect is an unmanaged service, and no upfront capital needs to be committed as payment is based on a monthly fee depending on usage.

This fee includes the necessary Veeam licence, unless the client already has one, plus the storage space for the backups on ContinuitySA’s cloud infrastructure.

Veeam Cloud Connect thus provides a cost-effective way to tailor an effective, safe and reliable way to mitigate risks in line with the company’s risk profile and appetite. It makes it possible for an SME to follow the 3-2-1 rule for data backups: three copies on two different media, one offsite.

All data is encrypted from the moment the backup process is initiated until it’s safely in ContinuitySA’s cloud repository.
