Why do I need IO Backup?
Backup is an essential part of any marketing IT infrastructure, but traditional backup technologies are no longer able to meet the evolving demands of businesses to drive modernization and digital transformation. Many of the traditional backup strategies utilize the 3-2-1 Backup Rule that requires keeping a copy of your data offsite. Until recently, many organizations met this requirement by utilizing mechanical tape libraries and relocating their physical tapes to a secure offsite location once the data had been backed up. This traditional process is extremely inefficient. Multiple resources are required to manage the physical library and tapes. Transportation and storage of the tapes adds additional cost considerations. Most importantly, extra effort is required to retrieve the tapes and the information in the event of a disaster. 

Organizations implementing a cloud backup strategy with IO Backup are now able to achieve a robust backup strategy without the heavy lifting associated with traditional solutions. IO Backup provides customers with a fully-managed storage service designed to meet their individual requirements. IO Backup is extremely scalable to accommodate evolving business needs and requirements. Hosted in IO Space™, IO Backup provides 24/7 access to your business-critical data from anywhere around the world.
