New, Smarter Ransomware Attacks
Crypo-virus manufacturing has become big business. Hackers have developed sophisticated business models that mirror legitimate software makers. Criminal developers sell to less technical criminal end users who attack the you and me.
The software is versioned and sold like products in Best Buy complete with detailed manuals on how to use it and, ironically, state of the art bug reporting. TeslaCrypt, for example is on version 4.x with constantly evolving capabilities.
While anti-virus makers and network engineers struggle to prevent attacks, one thing remains true. The only defense from a ransomware infection is to have data backed up safely off-site.
Data backup comes in many forms, single file, complete image (with OS system) backup, specialized database backups and many more. We have been helping businesses and individuals give ransomware makers the finger for almost two decades by designing smart solutions that minimize down time after attacks.
First, we offer unlimited users on our Small Business accounts. This enables business owners to protect every computer in the company for the cost of a pool of data. For mission critical servers we offer Shadow Protect, which can restore an entire working server quickly to another location or to our data centers. Our database modules backup and restore entire databases quickly and efficiently.
With a smart plan, even if every computer in the building is hit with ransomware, Nordic Backup can put you back in business and frustrate the ransomware syndicate. What’s more, we do it for much less, in some cases more than 50% less, than our competitors.
Business Shared Data is Just Smart
A typical office workstation averages about 20 GB of user data, so why do most companies charge you the same for a box with 1 GB as a one with 1 TB of data? Unlimited data makes sense for graphic designers and large databases, but for the vast majority of office and home computers it’s a waste of money. That’s why our Small Business accounts have unlimited users and shared data. It’s more efficient for us and more cost effective for our customers.
Here’s an example small office set up and how you can save with unlimited users.
- 6 workstations with avg. 20 GB: Covered by Small Business Basic account – $20.75/mo
- 1 graphic designer with 800 GB: covered by Personal Basic account – $4.50/mo
Total bill per month is $24.75 (with room to grow)
You’ll save more than 50% compared to the big 3 and over 10% on Carbonite.
Compared to Google GSuite, Dropbox Business, OneDrive Business, and Carbonite
Nordic Backup: $24.75/mo
Google GSuite: $70/mo ($10 per account)*
DropBox Business: $90/mo ($15 per account)*
OneDrive for Business: $70/mo ($10 per account)*
Carbonite (Backup Pro & 1 Home Basic): $30/mo*
Our small business packages are built to save you money as you grow. You pay an affordable rate for the data your employees are actually generating. The secret the big guys aren’t telling you is you use less data than you think.
Single Computer: Unlimited Data/Unbeatable Price
Starting at $4.50 per month our Personal account pricing is the lowest in the industry.
We own our data centers so we don’t have to pad accounts with 3rd party fees and bloated marketing budgets. As dedicated backup pros for almost 20 years, we’ve been at it longer than Carbonite, Google and Microsoft.
Your data is continuously backed up in our Cat-5 Hurricane-proof data centers, on a storage network designed solely for secure data backup. Data is secured on multiple servers, with multiple versions of your files kept for 90 days, and monitored 24/7.
Our storage network is owned by us, not rented from Amazon or Google, which means your data stream is not throttled or metered. Translation: your files are backed up and recovered faster.
If you’ve experienced the multi-level support of our competitors we think you’ll appreciate our single tier, US-based, professional support team. Every tech that helps you has a comprehensive knowledge of our product and of IT infrastructure in general.
We are committed to our customers. When they’re hit with Ransomware, lightning strikes, hardware failures or simple blunders we are all hands on deck to get them restored quickly. And we think we got it right, in our entire history we’ve never lost a byte of customer data.
Do business with a company that cares.
