Electronic data vaulting is the process of conducting a backup online and storing information remotely in a secure data center. The are a number of benefits for employing an electronic data vaulting strategy versus a tape backup inhouse: Ease and speed of recovery. Your data is stored on the disk-based local data backup device as well as in a secure, offsite data center. Speed of transmission. With the increasing volumes of patient data, electronic data vaulting is faster and more reliable than tape as only block-level changes are stored after the initial full backup is conducted. Security. Encryption technology is used that can safely move data without using a lot of network bandwidth. Data is readily available and can be restored on-demand. Cost-effectiveness. Electronic data vaulting replaces the hardware, software and tapes associated with tape backup systems. It also compresses data at approximately a 50% rate, reducing overall storage costs.
