In recent years, with the increasing risk of data loss due to ransomware attacks, failures, and operational errors, backup has become an indispensable measure for business continuity. However, for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), sufficient measures are often difficult to implement due to reasons such as "high cost burden," "difficult operation," and "troublesome introduction." BitoB has so far provided "BitoB Backup," specifically for SMEs, focusing on ease of introduction and cost reduction. With the development of this new dedicated app for Windows OS, the hurdle for introduction will be further lowered, creating an environment where more companies can easily start backup operations.

Number of companies introduced: 500 companies

BitoB has so far provided "BitoB Backup," which combines its independently developed "Wasabi Provisioning Console" with Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage, supporting data backup for S3-compatible NAS, Windows, and Linux servers. In conventional services, while streamlining account creation, bucket settings, contract status, and notification email management, it has been developed as a service specializing in backup functions necessary for SMEs. By newly adding a dedicated backup app for Windows OS, it provides an environment where PC and server backups can be executed more simply.

BitoB Inc. is a solution provider for Wasabi.

Features of this service

1. Free app usage, making the first step to introduction easy

The biggest feature this time is that the usage fee for the dedicated backup app is free. Even if the necessity of backup is recognized, many companies postpone introduction due to application usage fees and initial burdens acting as barriers. This app is designed to lower such introduction barriers and prioritize getting started. It is particularly suitable for companies that want to establish backup measures from now on, or companies that want to start small from a branch or department unit.

2. Easy backup of Windows PC/server data to Wasabi

This app allows easy backup of important data from Windows PCs and Windows servers to Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage. By securing a destination that does not depend solely on on-premise environments, it contributes to strengthening disaster countermeasures, disaster recovery, and business continuity measures. It is also effective for establishing backup operations based on off-site storage.

3. Cloud backup infrastructure with ransomware countermeasures in mind

Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage is promoted as an effective cloud storage for data loss countermeasures and recovery strategies from cyberattacks for backup and recovery purposes. Wasabi is equipped with functions effective for ransomware countermeasures, such as ensuring immutability with Object Lock, contributing to improving the integrity of backup data. This app supports corporate cyber risk countermeasures by utilizing such cloud infrastructure.

4. Easy to continue operation with predictable cost design

Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage is characterized by a predictable pricing structure with no egress fees or API request fees. It also claims up to 80% cost reduction compared to competing major clouds, making it an object storage suitable for continuous use for backup purposes. BitoB supports companies in creating an environment where they can continue backups without difficulty by utilizing these features of Wasabi.

5. SCS Evaluation System
