Ricoh has launched a cloud-based backup-as-a-service based on Veeam Cloud Connect.
The solution lets customers manage different virtualised environments, reduces the strain on internal IT resources, minimises the risk of downtime and makes disaster recovery easier, according to a statement from Ricoh.
It removes the need for VPN tunnels and dedicated repositories. Users can backup to the cloud and recover entire servers or individual data objects directly from the cloud without having to download large backup files.
Ricoh Australia IT services general manager Matt Dixon said: “The Ricoh cloud backup is currently a leading offering in the marketplace that allows offsite backups, while the customer retains full control of the backup environment. It helps customers leverage their existing Veeam investment with a familiar console and set of tools to manage data securely backed up offsite by Ricoh.
“The recoverability of the backup is key and users can test recoverability of the backup and files from the convenience of their desktop. The Ricoh cloud backup backs up data in three locations which is on premise, in the cloud and offsite managed by Ricoh.”
Ricoh said in a statement that it is partnering with Veeam because it is a pioneer in this space. “Veeam leverages virtualisation, storage, and cloud technologies that enables the modern data centre and help organisations save time, mitigate risks and dramatically reduce capital and operational costs."
Ricoh is a global technology company specialising in office imaging equipment, production print solutions, document management systems and IT services.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Ricoh Group operates in about 200 countries and regions.
