What is cloud backup?

Cloud backup also known as Online Backup is the process where your onsite backups are transferred to an offsite server every night. The server is located in a secure data centre in Perth. Cloud Backup replaces the need for someone to take a backup home each night. It is more secure, reliable and easier to manage and monitor.

What kind of response times can I expect?

We collaborate closely with each client to define clear, tailored expectations. Our service level agreements (SLAs) include measurable performance standards and outline specific consequences if those expectations are not met.

How Long is a Managed Services Contract For?

Managed IT service contracts can vary significantly between providers. Some offer flexible month-to-month plans, while others require multi-year commitments. Pricing structures also differ—certain providers charge a high upfront fee with lower ongoing costs, whereas others spread the initial setup costs across the contract term with a moderate monthly rate.
