F-Secure Online Backup Service for Consumers
Business Case
Most consumers never backup their data because the risk of losing it is not perceived to be a risk – until it happens. For those users who understand the risks the backup processes are cumbersome; copying files to CDs, DVDs or even floppies, purchasing an easy to lose USB thumb drive or a bulky external hard drive to the already crowded office desk. With any of these options the process requires the user to take action. These challenges mean that reliable backups are rarely made. To make matters worse, restoring the backups is practically never tested, so if disaster strikes the crucial backup may actually turn out to be unusable.
Solution
F-Secure Online Backup Service for Consumers is a turnkey solution for the ISP. F-Secure implements and hosts the backend storage system, as well as providing a provisioning system. This enables fast implementation of the service, reduces the time to market gap, as well as minimizing the capital investment needed for hardware, project management and service maintenance.

The Internet Service Provider can offer the service under its own brand and look and feel. It enables the consumer to purchase an unlimited and fully automated backup solution. With the patent pending SmartBackup™ technology the backup process is optimized, yet still preserving your valuable network bandwidth. With the included easy-to- use web portal, users can enjoy effortless access to their memories and digital content with their loved ones with any device, anywhere. The content is always protected, while in transit and when stored on the servers. |
