More about Datto

Years ago, when business-critical data was housed in data centres, setting a secure perimeter was less complex. Today an SMB’s essential data lives everywhere: on-premise servers and virtual machines (VMs), public cloud-hosted workloads, SaaS-based applications like Microsoft 365, laptops in the home and office, and more.

How can you secure data more easily?

This data buildout has created new challenges for MSPs. You now find yourself working in a significantly expanded business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) landscape.

As a result, MSPs have been in search of a holistic approach to protecting these far-flung data stores. Can you ensure that critical data can be recovered from a ransomware attack on an infected laptop or server? How do you handle prolonged cloud outages? What do you do when critical files are deleted, by accident or maliciously?

Until now, an MSP’s only answer was to piece together many different BCDR solutions to provide comprehensive protection for their clients. While this approach broadens the scope of data backup, restore, and security capabilities, it also comes with significant tradeoffs.

These tradeoffs include the need to access multiple administrative interfaces. In addition, as the number of solutions mushroom, MSP margins take a hit. That’s because your techs have to be trained on multiple products – not to mention the sheer logistical complexity that comes with having multiple vendors, from both an operational and administrative standpoint.

The more fragmented the BCDR shield becomes, the harder and more costly it gets for MSPs to deliver on a core goal: to provide seamless, assured protection for their clients’ data.

Complete data protection, simplified

With so many hazards threatening data today, MSPs need every edge they can get to minimise downtime and get clients up and running. Ransomware, in particular, remains on the rise, with 85% of MSPs reporting attacks against SMBs in the last two years.

When you partner with a vendor offering a cohesive solution, there’s a clear path towards easy-to-use data protection. MSPs that simplify their implementation and management can work with increased confidence in their data protection workflows.
