Conventional corporate IT backup strategies focus on critical data stored on centralised servers, as well as on desktops and laptops, and rely on a variety of manual, unplanned backup procedures that seldom work effectively.

MTN Business has a corporate backup solution that can greatly reduce the risks of lowered productivity and decreased customer confidence through lost information.
