Have you ever paused to consider how much data you generate daily? From the countless emails you send to the numerous documents (and document versions) you create, the sheer volume can be staggering.
Now, multiply that volume by the number of employees in your organisation. It’s no wonder that managing this deluge of information can feel overwhelming. And as data volumes continue to climb, so do the costs – particularly when it comes to overage charges from Microsoft.
If you’re finding that these charges are becoming a regular part of your IT budget, it might be time to do a cost-benefit analysis of a fully-functional archive solution. One option that stands out is AvePoint Opus, which combines the benefits of backup and archiving in a way that can deliver significant ROI for your organisation.
What problems does AvePoint Opus solve?
AvePoint Opus is designed to tackle data-related challenges on two vital fronts: reducing storage costs, and improving data protection and availability within Microsoft 365.
It achieves this by:
- Archiving data that is no longer needed for day-to-day operations, freeing up valuable storage space and bandwidth in Microsoft 365. This reduces the likelihood of overage charges and helps to keep your organisation’s data within manageable limits.
- Backing up data that is still relevant, and ensuring that it can be quickly restored to minimise downtime and disruption in the event of data loss or corruption.
- Providing a secure and compliant backup service that enhances the security and governance of your organisation’s Microsoft 365 data, helping you meet your legal and regulatory obligations.
- Offering a cloud-based and user-friendly solution that simplifies the management and administration of Microsoft 365 data and increases the productivity and efficiency of both users and IT staff.
How does it work?
As a robust cloud-based backup service with features tailored to the needs of Microsoft 365 users, AvePoint Opus offers:
- Comprehensive protection: It safeguards your data across all major Microsoft 365 services (i.e. Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Teams, and Groups) from accidental or malicious deletion, corruption, and ransomware attacks.
- Granular restore options: Whether you need to recover an individual email or an entire SharePoint site, AvePoint Opus offers granular restore options for all Microsoft 365 data, ensuring you can retrieve exactly what you need, when you need it.
- Unlimited storage and retention: The service provides unlimited storage and retention, along with flexible backup schedules. This means you can keep your data as long as you need to, without worrying about hitting storage limits.
- Secure encryption: Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, ensuring that it remains secure throughout backup and restore processes.
- Compliance and governance: AvePoint Opus helps you meet your compliance and governance obligations, as well as any data recovery SLAs – essential for maintaining data integrity and avoiding regulatory penalties.
- Cost-effective solution: With its simple user interface and 24/7 support, AvePoint Opus is not only reliable but also cost-effective, offering a budget-friendly way to protect your Microsoft 365 data.
