Backup as a Service (BaaS)
ARO’s secure Backup as a Service (BaaS) delivers the highest levels of security, availability and ease of recovery for your critical data assets, minimising risks and costs while ensuring business continuity.
Data is the lifeblood of business. And yet for many companies, secure backup and recovery still present challenges, with 60% of backups incomplete and half of data restores failing. This is why hundreds of businesses are turning to ARO for support with secure, scalable backup, ensuring data resilience without the need to invest in in-house backup infrastructure.
