Remote Backup Service (RBS) - essential to your office
Many organisations simply don't realise just how important their data is until it's too late. Only 33% of UK Companies backup their data to locations outside their premises.

Effective’s new RBS service eliminates that worry by encrypting and backing-up your data to a secure off-site location. Restoration is under your control and available 24/7. We provide storage in different sizes and according to your needs. Call us today for more details and an estimate
