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 customers. 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 ecommerce
and requires strong backend 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.”
