What is a Managed Backup?

A managed backup uses a third party managed service provider (MSP) to create and store backups of your data. There are a number of reasons a business would choose to create backups.

First, some industries may require backups to be created in order to be compliant with regulatory practice. The use of backups ensures that in case such data is called into question, it can be easily retrieved by the regulatory body. Sometimes companies are obligated to store their backups for several years, which can eat into available hard drive space. By using an MSP to store your backups, you free up space on your network.

Another reason that people are concerned about backing up their data is in case their computer network becomes compromised. Nothing stops work faster than corrupted or locked files. By having backups on hand, you can easily migrate your network to another hardware system without missing a beat.

Physical loss of data can also be devastating to a business’s workflow. The best way of ensuring your company against this sort of loss is to maintain both local and remote backups of your information.

What Is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet. These resources include tools and applications like data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software.

Rather than keeping files on a proprietary hard drive or local storage device, cloud-based storage makes it possible to save them to a remote database. As long as an electronic device has access to the web, it has access to the data and the software programs to run it.

Cloud computing is a popular option for people and businesses for a number of reasons including cost savings, increased productivity, speed and efficiency, performance, and security.

Key Takeaways

  • Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet, including data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software.
  • Cloud storage has grown increasingly popular among individuals who need larger storage space and for businesses seeking an efficient off-site data back-up solution.
  • Cloud-based storage makes it possible to save files to a remote database and retrieve them on demand.
  • Services can be both public and private—public services are provided online for a fee while private services are hosted on a network to specific clients.
  • Cloud security has become an increasingly important field in IT.

What is IP Peering?

IP Peering is when two Internet Service Providers enter a mutual agreement to exchange data without charging each other. This is equally beneficial for both parties because the data shared from both sides is usually the same amount. Therefore, neither party has to charge a fee.

This is exactly the opposite of the IP Transit where one organization has to pay another to connect to the ISP. Therefore, the organization receiving payment is upstream and more in control than the one paying as a customer. In contrast, in IP Peering, both parties enjoy the same status and rights in the ISP hierarchy to access the internet.
