Cloud Backup-as-a-Service (CBaaS)
Managed Backups to Protect Your Hybrid Cloud Environments
VAST understands the importance of protecting your company’s valuable data resources in today’s challenging business landscape. A robust and reliable backup solution is essential to ensure a company’s long-term health and viability. Backups offer businesses protection against human or environmentally triggered disasters and data loss scenarios.
Companies that fail to address the critical nature of backups are taking unnecessary risks that can put them out of business. Ransomware and other types of cybercrime threaten to cripple businesses that cannot quickly recover affected systems and their associated data. Sensitive data needs to be safely backed up to maintain and demonstrate regulatory compliance.

CBaaS FAQ
What is cloud backup as a service?
Cloud backup-as-a-service (CBaaS) is a data protection solution that enables businesses of any size to leverage the economic benefits and scalability of cloud storage. Customers engage a third-party service provider to manage their backups in alignment with corporate data retention policies. The provider schedules and monitors backups to ensure they complete successfully. Data is backed up to the cloud over the network. Teams can restore backed-up data to any location with an internet connection, offering improved flexibility over traditional backup solutions.
What are the benefits of cloud backup as a service?
Companies can enjoy multiple benefits from a CBaaS solution. CBaaS provides significant savings by eliminating the need for companies to implement and manage an on-premises backup infrastructure. Companies don’t need to manage storage media and arrange for some backups to be stored off-site. The organization’s data is backed up over an internet connection and stored securely in the cloud. The CBaaS provider manages the platform, freeing up company resources to concentrate on core business activities.
Will cloud backup as a service protect on-premises data?
Yes, VAST’s CBaaS offering can protect your data, regardless of where it resides. The CBaaS solution can replace existing on-premises backup solutions by redirecting the backups to virtually limitless cloud storage. Companies can retire their on-premises backup infrastructure and utilize the available space more productively. Data backed up to a CBaaS platform can be recovered to either the on-premises environment, alternate sites, or the cloud, providing additional flexibility and resilience.
