Zoolz: Revolutionizing Business Cloud Backup

Zoolz is a comprehensive business solution for backing up, archiving, data management and collaboration developed by the backup veteran Genie9. Designed for enterprise and business use, zoolz has a lot of features and central management options while still having an easy to use interface that presents these features in a neat package. Apart from all the features that make Zoolz a very powerful service in my opinion, Zoolz’s most attractive feature is that it integrates Amazon’s Glacier storage technology in what is dubbed

Cold Storage

. This means that you can get all the enterprise backup features and pay as lowas $3/100GB a month, which is dirt cheap. So how does Cold Storage work?

Cold Storage is basically a way to backup rarely accessed data that doesn’t require to be restored instantly. The backup process for Cold Storage files is instant, and performed automatically along with the rest of your files. But, the restore process, unlike normal storage, isn’t performed instantly, and usually takes 3-5 hours to process your request, before you could download it back to your local device. Hence, it’s recommended for archives or less-frequently used data only. However, Zoolz allow you to remotely view and download your Cold Storage data using either Web or Mobile version of it’s application.

So if you are a business with big data on your hands, and want to free yourself from the confines of traditional tape backups or other mediums which are bound to be extinct really soon, this service will blow your mind with how professional it looks and functions. Or if you’re a business that still does not backup, this is a perfect time to start.
