I believe that this award clearly demonstrates oncore IT’s integrity as a provider of appropriate online backup solutions supported by appropriate pricing. Our ability to intelligently manage a client’s backup data during its entire lifecycle, while being able to set policies according to individual business requirements such as the latest FSA regulations, is what sets us apart from our competitors. Our clients have confidence when storing data online with us and our already extensive deployment of Asigra’s Backup Lifecycle Management software has the added benefit of reducing their data storage costs.”

Simon Pigott, IT Manager of Cheviot Asset Management commented: “It is important to plan ahead for future system failures or office disasters that would prevent access to our data. The oncore IT team was able to immediately address this point by providing us with a redundant set of servers, the ability to quickly access lost data through an online backup and disaster recovery service, and 24/7 monitoring and alerting so that a fault can be fixed before we even realise there’s a problem.”
