How This UK-Based MSP Protects Its Customers' Office 365 Data

The cloud has changed not only how we communicate, but how we work as well. Cloud applications offer the immense advantage of data access from anywhere, any time. The cloud also makes it possible for multiple users to change the same document on the fly, from anywhere.

But businesses are often surprised to learn that cloud-based applications, such as Microsoft Office 365, don't offer backup services. Microsoft protects data from incidents that may happen at its data centers, but business files are not safe from accidental or malicious deletion. Thus, there is a clear need for MSPs to provide their clients with a robust backup and recovery solution for Office 365.

Air IT, an award-winning MSP based in the UK, is a trusted technology partner to over 400 clients.

The vendor's vision and ongoing product investment was a major selling point for Air IT, tallying with the MSP’s ambitious growth plans.
