What are the Benefits of Xigent’s Backup as a Service (BaaS)?

Xigent’s Backup as a Service is designed to support businesses in protecting critical data from internal and external threats and will aid in modernizing your backup strategy. A fully managed solution configured, administered, monitored, and supported by Xigent’s Service Delivery team. Restores can be performed on-demand via service requests by the Client. Restores are typically done with the target being the original media source, but Xigent can provide alternatives for additional source restores if desired. Xigent’s Backup as a Service with immutability provides an additional layer of protection above and beyond on-premise immutability by combining immutable backups with true air gapping. Because Xigent’s infrastructure is managed, maintained, and credentialed apart from your production environment, any exploits to your environment are unable to touch our immutable repositories.

Xigent will work with Clients to understand their data protection and retention needs and configure the service parameters to support their unique business, financial, and technological requirements. To fit these requirements, clients can dictate the frequency of backups, retention policy, encryption methods, and data locations. Backup data can be stored locally at the client site. They can also be replicated to a second Xigent hardened data center, hyper-scaler, or Cloud Object Storage location to provide physical redundancy. This ensures you have a quality copy of your data following any data loss event events, including malicious or accidental deletions, file corruption, and, most importantly, cybercrime. BaaS is highly flexible and can protect data on both virtual and physical servers.
