Data Backup Digest

If you’re involved in IT in any capacity whatsoever, you’ve likely heard of Virtustream. Specializing in various “as-a-service” platforms and miscellaneous managed services, the company has made quite the name for themselves since their inception in 2009. But the race to become the world’s topmost cloud service provider is heating up – and brands like Virtustream are adopting their offerings to capitalize on this growing trend.

Focusing on Storage

Virtustream’s entry-level service is found in their Storage Cloud. Designed as a hyper-scale storage platform, this framework is ideal for organizations and enterprises of all scopes and sizes. Built-in redundancy offers 99.999% data availability and 99.99999999999% data durability, so users will take solace in the fact that their data is always protected.

The Storage Cloud is available in four different service options to meet your exact needs, including standard, standard – infrequently accessed, premium and premium – infrequently accessed. Whereas the standard and premium options are best for users who require constant access to their data, the alternate plans work best when used to protect data archives that don’t require such high availability.

Specifically Meant for Enterprise Use

Although the Storage Cloud is usable by all Virtustream customers, they do have an option specifically for enterprise users. The Virtustream Enterprise Cloud provides everything you need to manage the IT operations of a full-scale enterprise in the 21st century. By taking an “application-first” strategy to the creation of this cloud platform, the development team with Virtustream offers full compatibility with the most advanced and complex applications in the business sector today.

Entering the Federal Sector

Virtustream also caters to those in the government sector with the Virtustream Federal Cloud. Not only was this platform designed with enhanced security and integrated compliance functionality, but it’s also compatible with some of the most popular cloud apps – including SAP, Oracle and many more – so users will still benefit from all the cloud has to offer.

The Virtustream Federal Cloud is backed up by a skilled and knowledgeable team of support agents. Specializing in various governmental standards and regulations, their team will ensure that you’re making the most of your cloud services without breaking any of the rules.

Providing Services in Healthcare IT

As the healthcare sector is a growing target for cloud services, it should come as no surprise that the Virtustream Healthcare Cloud was established. One of their newest services to date, this platform provides all of the infrastructure, security and compliance needed for healthcare institutions to operate in the cloud safely and securely. Featuring full HIPAA / HITECH compliance, the Virtustream Healthcare Cloud is ideal for healthcare providers from all over the industry.

Finding the Service That is Right For You

The sheer variety of cloud options can be overwhelming, especially if you’re new to the concept of cloud computing, but it really helps you find the exact services you need within a landscape that is quite complex. Whether you choose one of Virtustream’s offerings or that of their competitors is ultimately up to you – but there’s certainly no shortage of options.
