CITE & Commvault logos.When data is the lifeblood of organizations, safeguarding it is more critical than ever. For entities operating under the CITE (Cloud Information Technology Enterprise) contract, using robust backup solutions is essential. This blog post delves into how Commvault’s backup and recovery solutions for Google Workspace and infrastructure can provide comprehensive data protection and peace of mind.

The Importance of Data Backup

Why Backup Google Workspace?

Google Workspace is a powerful suite of tools that many organizations rely on for daily operations. However, data loss can occur due to:

  • Accidental Deletions: Users may mistakenly delete important emails or files.
  • Malicious Attacks: Cybersecurity threats like ransomware can compromise data integrity.
  • Compliance Requirements: Organizations must adhere to various regulations regarding data retention and protection.

Why Backup Infrastructure?

Infrastructure backups are equally vital. Organizations often use a mix of on-premises and cloud resources from AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Google Cloud, making it essential to back up:

  • Virtual Machines (VMs)
  • Databases
  • File Servers

Without proper infrastructure backups, organizations risk losing critical operational data.
