<\/a>Let’s have a look at the sorts of things you might expect to protect with this service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the above graphic suggests, there are some key use-cases addressed by it, in addition to hybrid environment protection. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now look, I’m personally<\/em> not much of a fan of Microsoft Teams, having been added to approximately twelvety billion, nine hundred and ninety eight million and one teams. But<\/em>, I can put my personal attitude towards Teams aside to say that people get very<\/em> excited about protecting Teams data. This makes sense, since Teams seems to absorb all data it encounters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Teams is exciting, it’s not just Teams that people want to protect, of course. Admittedly I don’t personally have many customers that use Google Workplace, but they’re out there \u2013\u00a0in large numbers, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There will always<\/em> be the question, “What about SaaS platform X?”, but when you look at the three key platforms above: Microsoft 365, Google Workplace and Salesforce, you’ve got the three behemoths covered. And while I’m on the topic of the behemoths \u2013\u00a0if you have Salesforce in your organisation, ask the business what the cost or risk is for a catastrophic data loss there. Data protection of your Salesforce environment isn’t just important, it’s mission critical<\/em> to most organisations that use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While traditional backup and recovery systems can handle end-point protection, the challenge is that end-point protection and datacentre protection effectively have contrary run models, access requirements, scheduling methods and so on. In fact, this conundrum occupied a fair chunk of my commentary in “Chapter 17, Protecting the Edge” of Data Protection (2nd Edition)<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So cloud-based protection for these end-points is logically an excellent<\/em> idea. Especially when you can mix in some cool remote-security functionality as well \u2013 like being able to wipe the device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s more than data protection though \u2013 you also get governance controls with eDiscovery, both of which are essential in a modern business environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you’d expect with a cloud-based entity, PowerProtect Backup Service is a subscription solution \u2013 you don’t have to buy any infrastructure, and you pay as you go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>
