In a recent article, we explained how the fire that occurred at OVH’s Data Center caused a massive impact on their hosted customers who suffered from data loss and downtime.

For a business operating online, data is not just numbers used for generating reports and statistics. Data include customer information stored in a company’s Database, digital products presented in an e-commerce website where customers can buy them, as well as more critical information such as payment transaction details and credit card details processed by merchants and online stores.

A recent report by statista.com indicated that retail e-commerce sales worldwide amounted to 4.28 trillion US dollars in 2020 and e-retail revenues are projected to grow to 5.4 trillion US dollars in 2022.

How entrepreneurs and IT managers can ensure their online business maintains a high uptime and its valuable data is protected from any type of Disasters that may occur in the cyber sphere? In this article we will present a beyond-backup, world-class data protection solution offered by Acronis and NetShop ISP.
