Have a fail-safe environment for your data

Providing continuity of operations and disaster recovery is critical in every industry. Cyberattacks and system failures resulting in data losses will occur. When they do, recovering from losses can be costly and time-consuming. Keeping your SMA current allows instant access to BaaS. With BaaS, you can easily configure your JACE® controllers to do automated secure backups to the cloud in an IT-friendly way, with a simple approach that reduces the amount of effort for backup management and storage. It does not require a Supervisor, and it means minimal — if any — downtime, data loss and labor costs associated with restoring Niagara stations.
