DCIG is pleased to announce the immediate availability of its second TOP 5 report on Microsoft 365 Backup Solutions. The 2023-24 DCIG TOP 5 Microsoft 365 Enterprise SaaS Backup Solutions report provides organizations guidance on the best backup solutions for backing up and recovering data hosted in Microsoft 365.
In this upcoming webinar on March 28, 2023, DCIG’s CEO and lead data protection analyst, Jerome Wendt, provides answers to this question of which Microsoft 365 backup features organizations should prioritize. During the webinar he goes into the details on DCIG’s latest research into Microsoft 365 SaaS backup solutions.
Most organizations already use general-purpose clouds in some form. Microsoft represents one such cloud provider that has taken a market leading position in providing infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings. Its IaaS offering, Microsoft Azure, now represents one of the top three general-purpose clouds while Microsoft 365 may well be the #1 SaaS offering used by organizations worldwide. Yet as enterprises utilize these cloud offerings, they still must protect the applications and/or data they host in these Microsoft clouds.
Two companies merging in the technology sector occurs with some regularity. However, a merger that makes sense for both providers with everyone coming out a winner occurs less frequently. Today’s announced merger between StorageCraft Technology Corporation and Arcserve illustrates this rarer occurrence. Each company’s technologies address different organizational needs that, once merged, will create a new benchmark for data protection.
Organizations looking to protect data stored in Microsoft Office 365 should follow new rules to select the best solution. In so doing, organizations should also recognize two broad categories of Office 365 backup software exist from which to choose. One category consists of subscription, cloud-based SaaS offerings. The other category encompasses enterprise backup software solutions that offer Office 365 backup as an add-on option.
The number of organizations that have adopted or plan to adopt Microsoft Office 365 online continues to climb. Yet as organizations adopt Office 365, they should make another similarly important decision: protecting the data they store in it. To select the most appropriate software to back it up, organizations should choose following a new set of rules.
