Data loss. It’s a costly problem for companies of all sizes. Whether it occurs from a natural disaster or spilling a cup of coffee on a notebook computer, data loss costs companies both time and money.

Savvy companies are deploying backup servers to safeguard important data. According to IDC, data storage revenue totaled about $5 billion in the second quarter. That’s up 20.4 percent from the year-ago period. The market grew nearly 20 percent in the first half of 2010. But you don’t have to contract with 3Par or EMC to back up your data securely. Dedicated cloud server solutions offer you security, reliability, and affordability.

“The multibillion-dollar bidding war between HP and Dell for 3Par has brought plenty of attention to the data storage market,” said Octavio Diaz, Operations Manager at CloudPronto, a cloud server provider in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. “Dedicated cloud servers are a less expensive way to back up your data files. A dedicated backup server gives you the flexibility you need without breaking your IT budget.”

Leasing a virtual machine on CloudPronto’s cloud infrastructure provides companies everything needed to keep data readily available. ServerPronto’s cloud hardware infrastructure spans the company’s data centers around the world, offering network access and speed on demand. Small companies can choose cloud servers at prices starting at just $14.95 a month. Large enterprises still find value at $999.95 a month for a cluster of six dedicated cloud servers.

“Data backup is vital for companies of all sizes,” Diaz said. “At VMworld last week, data backup was a hot topic of discussion. Data backup servers drive improved business cost savings and efficiencies and improved services levels. Backup servers also play a key role in disaster recovery strategies. You almost can’t afford not to have one.”

Cloud hosting is more than just a trend. It’s the wave of the future — and it’s here now. Companies large and small are tapping into the cost-savings of cloud hosting that lets them pay only for what they use while also reducing outages.

“You might think of cloud servers as ultra-flexible dedicated servers,” said Octavio Diaz, Operations Manager at CloudPronto, a leading cloud hosting company headquartered in Ft. Lauderdale. “A cloud server is totally customizable and gives you access to run anything you want on a fault tolerant program, from web site hosting to file storage and beyond.”

Cloud servers are scalable on-demand. Businesses can launch one server or multiple servers in minutes and ramp up or ramp down according to the demand. Businesses may start out with a 256 MB plan, but within minutes can access 15.5 GB of physical memory. When the demand subsides, the business can return to the 256 MB plan. The end result: cost savings. The business pays for the temporary spike in usage rather than paying for the extra memory for an entire contract period — or even an entire billing cycle.

“Cloud servers not only offer scalability and cost savings, they also let businesses access systems anywhere from any device with a web browser. And because the cloud allows resource sharing across a large pool of users, cloud hosting is more reliable than traditional web hosting,” Diaz explained. “Cloud servers are also easier to maintain and support, and cloud hosting has green benefits. By using only the resources needed, businesses are reducing their carbon footprint.”

CloudPronto’s cloud servers rely on VMware Fault Tolerance and VMware HA to deliver the availability needed by applications in the cloud. VMware HA provides uniform, cost-effective failover protection against hardware and operating system failures within a virtualized IT environment. With VMware software, CloudPronto decreases downtime and improves reliability with business continuity.
