Difference Between Onsite And Offsite Storage
Cost One of the major differences is of cost. Onsite data backup may cost in terms of software license and fees but on an ongoing basis, the overall cost is substantially reduced as only the storage media is to be purchased. Offsite data backup involves a 3rd party server and bandwidth costs. If your company’s data is huge, the remote storage and bandwidth costs actually cost a lot which can make you think twice before selecting a remote backup. Performance The performance of an onsite storage and recovery is much faster as compared to offsite backup system. When you share backup your data using a disk drive, CDS or DVDs you actually are doing it much faster as compared to storing it offsite. The same is with the recovery process which again involves internet and special remote client software. There is a considerable network delay as well in the case of offsite back up which is not an issue with the onsite data backup and recovery. Security As a general rule, the backup data and the original source should not be at the same physical location. If you use CDs, DVDs or had disks to store your data, you should store them at another location. This is not a problem with the offsite data backups because they are already stored offsite and often replicated to ensure maximum data security. The data in a remote storage is encrypted too. It hampers performance but it is more secure as compared to onsite data storage and backup.
