Over the past decade, cloud backup, recovery and restore options have emerged as the most secure, flexible and reliable solutions. There are seven key advantages to using cloud backup at your healthcare clinic or practice.
1. Reduce operating and administrative costs.
Once you select a backup schedule, your data is saved automatically and transparently. This “set it and forget it” model saves hours of your staff’s valuable time.
2. Eliminate the shortcomings of tape backup.
Armada Cloud uses multiple data centers that are geographically diverse to protect your data in case of fire, flood or other disasters. If your data is kept on your premises – or on tape at a single location – you have no disaster recovery option. Tape backups are often expensive, vulnerable to obsolescence and can be lost or stolen when being transported off-site. Also, recovering data from a tape system can be a slow process, especially if a tape needs to be retrieved from an off-site vault.
3. Improve the reliability and speed of recovery.
Armada Cloud’s cloud backup and recovery service powered by Asigra lets your staff quickly restore all of your patient, financial and operational data – or just individual files – as needed. Or call us and we’ll do the restore for you.
4. Gain a more secure method of file transfer.
All your files, including patient files that fall under strict HIPAA privacy rules, are
fully encrypted before transmission to a cloud vault and remain encrypted once they reach their destination. No one outside of your clinic or practice holds the decryption key. These safeguards are far superior to keeping unencrypted files stored at your location.
5. Use your IT resources more effectively.
Armada Cloud’s cloud backup, recovery and restore service for healthcare providers means your IT personnel can be free to focus on more pressing challenges within your organization.
6. Lower your total cost of ownership.
As healthcare copes with the growing amount of patient, clinical, financial and other information generated every day, and the ever-increasing compliance regulations, it’s critical to have a modern and dependable data backup solution in place. Armada Cloud’s cloud backup, recovery and restore service delivers these benefits:
Takes advantage of your current technology investment
Eliminates the need to buy or install expensive new equipment
Works with your IT system to find and prioritize files for backup
Securely transmits encrypted copies of your valuable files to be stored safely off-site
7. Choose the backup approach that adapts to growth.
Armada Cloud’s cloud backup service provides extensive flexibility to accommodate your future growth or unlimited expansion. Whether you add doctors to your practice, open additional locations, or expand your facility in any way, the modest investment you make now in this cloud backup service will be your last. This results in a lower total cost of ownership compared to the purchase and ongoing maintenance of complex tape backup systems. Progressive clinics are increasingly *using* technology, not *owning it*.
Did you know? Traditional backup has involved storing data on physical tape that can be lost or stolen, or on costly in-house servers. Backing up to the cloud uses software that can be scheduled to automatically encrypt then backup all your office’s data to secure off-site servers via the Internet. Retrieving your data from the off site storage is just as fast, secure and convenient.
