SMB solutions: On-premises and Hybrid Cloud file and backup

[MassimilianoG]

In today’s workplace, employees expect to work and collaborate from anywhere at any time, making productivity tools and business continuity top concerns for small to midsize businesses (SMBs). However, many SMBs are still using laptops, PCs, or cloud-based apps and software to share and store critical data.

 

This can create a few problems. For example, if remote employees are using unapproved apps for collaboration and productivity, they may be creating security and compliance vulnerabilities. Or, if a device crashes or gets lost or stolen without a proper backup, the data loss could put an SMB out of business for a few hours or even a few days.

HPE Small Business Solutions for File and Backup with Windows Server and Microsoft Azure Cloud Services can help SMBs with both issues. They come in one-stop-shop configurations that are optimized for file data and for backup and disaster recovery. Both configuration options offer edge-to-cloud computing solutions with the ability to extend the on-premises solution with flexible, secure Hybrid Cloud options.

File solutions provide a central repository for data so SMBs can make files accessible from any device, helping employees collaborate more easily and securely. They also help SMBs maintain availability with automated data backup. Plus, these solutions can easily extend to Hybrid Cloud with Microsoft Azure File Sync, which provides on-premises performance and familiar tools that simplify cloud file share management.

Configurations optimized for backup and disaster recovery help minimize downtime by protecting data and making it fast and easy to recover when disaster strikes. They enable a robust business continuity plan that protects data with on-site backups, plus a Hybrid Cloud option with HPE Cloud Volumes and Azure Backup Service to automatically and easily back up and restore files.

HPE Small Business Solutions for File and Backup are ready-to-go solutions that include hardware, software, services, and top-selling HPE ProLiant options. They’re built on HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers that are tested, optimized, and validated for on-premises and Hybrid Cloud use cases with Windows Server and Microsoft Azure Cloud Services.
