Stored Technology Solutions Inc.
(StoredTech), a provider of IT managed
services, has launched unlimited data backup
plans for business customers.
Company officials said that instead of the
standard way of charging backup services per
gigabyte of data, it now offers unlimited safe
and secure cloud backup to businesses for $99
per server, per month, or $49 per workstation
per month.
The company said the departure from the
standard pricing model is, in-part, a response
to “an unsettling trend that’s emerged whereby
price-conscience businesses will often put
some of their data at risk by being selective
about which business data they backup” in
an attempt to save some cost.
“This leaves them less than 100 percent
protected from data loss scenarios that could
put their entire business in jeopardy,” said a
company statement.
“Businesses will often let this standard
pricing model of per-gig affect what they
choose to backup,” said StoredTech President
and CEO Mark Shaw. “This is particularly true
with the SMB market where businesses need
to be more frugal. We want our customers to
be able to backup all of their data in order
to provide their businesses with true disaster
recovery and peace of mind.”
According to Shaw, more than half of
SMBs surveyed admit to not performing daily
backups.
“The reality is that data and data backup
are critical in today’s business environment.
Businesses of every size need to start thinking
of data protection more like homeowners
insurance, you may hate paying the monthly bill, but if your home were to suffer a fire,
you’d be thankful that the insurance is there
to help you. Backup is the most important,
efficient and cost effective way to protect
yourself from a data loss that could put your
entire business in jeopardy. It’s not just for
the big companies to worry about anymore.”
He said StoredTech’s pricing is not just for
future customer. The company has enrolled
its existing customers as well, saving some
hundreds of dollars per month.
SheetLabels.com has been a StoredTech
customer since 2008. As an international
provider of blank and custom printed
labels, SheetLabels.com relies heavily on
e-commerce and requires strong back-end
management and redundancies to keep their
operations running smoothly.
“Our data is extremely important to us
and I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if it
were not 100 percent protected,” said Adam
Gray, president of SheetLabels.com. “We were
shocked and delighted when StoredTech
contacted us recently to let us know about
their new unlimited data backup plans. The
unlimited vaulting will save us approximately
$400-$600 a month from our previous plan,
for a total annual reduction of somewhere
around 75 percent.”
