Rising cloud storage costs and data security concerns are driving organizations in Africa to migrate data back to on-premises solutions and adopt hybrid cloud models, according to Veeam data backup experts.
Costs, security in cloud storage a key concern across AfricaVisit our press officeBill shocks and concerns about data sovereignty and security are driving repatriation from the public cloud and the adoption of hybrid models by many organisations across Africa, say data backup experts from Veeam.
Joubert noted: “Bill shock is a real challenge – storage, egress and API costs are unpredictable, and systems engineers don't have cloud cost visibility.” Veeam Data Cloud Vault v2 cloud storage for Veeam backups is a fully managed, secure and cloud-based storage service that leverages the Microsoft Azure and simplifies storing backups of mission-critical data and applications. The new release introduces two new editions – Foundation and Advanced – with low-cost, all-inclusive pricing that eliminates common forecasting and bill shock challenges.
Joubert explained: “Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is an industry-leading technology in the backup space. It is intuitive and easy to use, and supports data sovereignty by enabling customers to choose to keep backups within their country’s borders. The benefits of using this backup as a service for Microsoft 365 include simplicity in management – you can have your first backup job running in a couple of minutes, without all the resources and networking associated with traditional backup.
