What is Veeam Cloud Connect and how can it leverage the advantages of the Cloud Any form of drive failure would also mean you suffer at least some data loss - depending on when you last backed up, of course - but, none of this is a problem when you store and back up with the cloud. Drive failure means you’ll have to go through the laborious process of replacing equipment and transferring all the data over to the new drive.

No fail zone: Even if you do not suffer an IT-related disaster, your hard drives will eventually deteriorate.

Portable cloud storage: You can move data between different clouds - and even between on-premise and off-premise environments - with no barriers or other restrictions to speak of.

Once configured, cloud backup is automatic, meaning you can focus on core business activities and plans for growth.

Efficiency above all: Simply more efficient than hard drives or tape-based media.

Instant, global access to data: Anyone, anywhere, anytime can access the data stored in the cloud - a feature which is undeniably crucial for remote working practices.

Your business, in turn, must depend on a streamlined and integrated cloud data storage and backup platform with the following features:

Your team of remote workers need to access your business data in a convenient, safe, and secure cloud. When the pandemic is in the rearview mirror, many organisations will continue to leverage the advantages of remote working arrangements, and so our dependence on the Cloud for data storage and recovery will be evermore unavoidable. There has never been a greater need to store your proprietary and irreplaceable data safely. Just as the BP incident killed workers, when hackers disabled a German hospital computer system, a patient died while doctors tried to transfer her to another hospital.

There have also been catastrophic “data spills” and breaches where millions of personal records, credit cards and private medical information were compromised. That oil spill was a result of inattention, bad operational management and poor equipment maintenance - namely, when blowout preventers failed to choke off the oil flowing from the pipe and thus failed to disconnect the rig from the well. Over 172 million gallons of crude oil leaked into the Gulf of Mexico. You may be aware of the disastrous oil spill from the British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon offshore rig back in 2011. The technological equivalent of an oil spill would be a data loss, theft, compromise, or a ransomware lockup.
