Cyber criminals are using sophisticated tech-driven methods to extort, hack and `hijack' poorly defended systems, says Redstor.

Having a secure off-site copy of all data as a backup will ensure an organisation can recover from an attack and help prevent data loss, says Redstor.

Cloud backup solutions protect data spread across multiple sites, servers or machines, and can be centrally managed, says Redstor.

Redstor has undertaken a strategic partnership with GDPR compliance experts, GDPR365, to offer a technical compliance software tool.

The Web-based solution reveals what space would be freed up if inactive data was offloaded to the cloud.

By turning archiving into a service, Redstor has put archiving frustration into the same box as the dial-up modem - nice to reminisce about, even better to forget about, says Danie Marais, director of Product Management at Redstor.

World Backup Day, which aims to create awareness for the necessity of backups for all companies, will be celebrated on 31 March.

The company is sponsoring backpacks for the Laerskool Kruinsig choir, which will compete in the World Choir Games later this year.

This gives organisations the ability to free up space on their primary storage by offloading data to the cloud, the company says.

The cloud software and backup services provider will participate at the ITWeb Cloud Summit 2018, on 8 February, at Vodacom World.

The African electronic security equipment distributor adopts the Redstor platform for all its backup and business continuity requirements.

Redstor's cloud backup solution gives Hill Dickinson over 150TB of fast, secure offsite backup, the data management and security company says.
