Office 365 and Barracuda: A Cloud‑to‑Cloud Alliance «Cloud to Cloud»
There are five key challenges that all customers face to some degree when considering a migration to Office 365.
Here is a summary of each:
- Time, cost, and success of migrating email to the cloud
- Service availability and quality
- Broader protection against threats
- Improved management of archived email
- Control over retention, preservation, and eDiscovery
Today, I will focus mainly on one of the most prominent and highly requested services: Cloud‑to‑Cloud Backup for Office 365
Although Office 365 is an excellent option for companies seeking highly scalable and redundant architectures to mitigate natural and mechanical failures, hosting data in the cloud introduces inherent risks.
Data loss caused by human factors—whether intentional or accidental—continues to occur, as information can still be permanently deleted from cloud applications. Backup + Cloud‑to‑Cloud = An all‑in‑one solution to protect both local and offsite data with centralized administration. It offers independent subscriptions and supports any Office 365 plan for Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive.
