GTS Telecom, one of the longest-serving Romanian companies on the infrastructure-based telecommunications services market, launches a complete range of Disaster Recovery services as a Service (DRaaS). Backup as Service solution, part of this new service range, uses Veritas Net Backup software, and ensures the protection and predictable recovery of data in case of disaster, applicable both on physical or virtual server levels.

GTS Telecom’s DRaaS solutions are created to protect and ensure permanent availability of the companies’ critical data through complete storage services and data recovery in case of disaster and ensure the business’ continuity. Backup as Service features an easy to use interface, which permits backup, restauration and archiving for any kind of operation system, data base or applications. This way, the companies can manage and protect their data from the moment it is created to the moment they choose to delete it, automatically adapting the supplementary stocking capacity necessity. 

“We extended our experience in Disaster Recovery solutions, developed for our customers, and we invested in a complex platform, which can cover all the real-life situations which they confront with. Our services are supported by the two locations with data centres and offer scalable and easy to use technologies. Now, we can cover any scenario of Disaster Recovery addressed by the client, copying the data from any source in which they are stored to various destinations, where they can be restored, with any type of connectivity in case of a disaster and operational continuity on the restored solution”, stated Răzvan Stoica, General Manager GTS Telecom.

The new Backup as a Service developed by GTS Telecom can be accessed based on a monthly subscription, with a tax model based on the consumption (pay-per use), offering the flexibility and scalability which the IT department need, in order to satisfy the growing demands of the organisations they work for. So, companies do not have to invest in software and hardware solutions, as the investment allocated for the platform development, as well as management and update, are ensured by GTS.
