Cloud data protection

At Datacom, we help you safeguard your most valuable digital assets with data protection and cloud backup solutions that are secure, compliant, and designed for fast recovery.

Keep your data secure, resilient and ready when needed.

In a world where digital disruption is constant and threats are evolving, protecting your data is non-negotiable. From ransomware and accidental deletion to natural disasters and geopolitical instability, the risks are real and growing. That’s why it’s essential for organisations to rethink data resilience and turn to cloud-based protection that’s built to withstand the unexpected.

At Datacom, we help you safeguard your most valuable digital assets with cloud backup solutions that are secure, compliant, and designed for fast recovery. Backed by local expertise and deep cloud capability, we tailor protection to your business needs.

Our services support business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) across on‑premises, cloud and SaaS workloads, so you can recover quickly from outages, cyber incidents or accidental deletion.

Fortify your data protection strategy with Datacom

  • Protect critical applications, databases and unstructured data wherever they reside – in your data centres, public cloud or SaaS platforms.
  • Apply policy‑driven backup, retention and encryption to meet regulatory and audit requirements.
  • Use immutable storage options that prevent backups from being altered or deleted, strengthening your defence against ransomware.

Immutable backup

Once written, your data can’t be altered or deleted — even by ransomware. Immutable storage provides secure, tamper-proof backup that acts as your last line of defence.

 

Recovery made simple

We help you define your Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) based on what your business can tolerate. We then align your backup and recovery strategy to meet those targets, removing any guesswork.

 

Data sovereignty

With on-shore storage options, you can meet compliance requirements and make sure your backups stay local helping you meet privacy and regulatory requirements with confidence.

 

Disaster recovery

We offer automated disaster recovery testing and coordination so you can simulate outages and confirm your systems recover exactly as expected.

 

Transparent pricing

Our pricing is transparent and predictable, with no unexpected egress fees giving you control over your cloud costs, especially when you need to restore your data.

Frequently asked questions

How does immutable storage protect against ransomware?

Immutable storage means your backup files can’t be changed or deleted for a set period. Even if ransomware gets into your systems, it can’t touch your backups.

What’s the difference between RPO and RTO?

RPO is how much data you can afford to lose (measured in time), and RTO is how quickly you need to recover. We help you define and meet both.

Can I store my data in my own country?

Yes. We offer sovereign data residency options so your backups stay on-shore and compliant with local laws.

How often should I test my disaster recovery plan?

We recommend testing at least quarterly. Our platform makes it easy to run automated tests without disrupting your operations.

Are there hidden costs when I restore data?

No. Unlike some hyperscale cloud providers, we don’t charge extra to access your own data. What you see is what you pay.
