Convert your data backup to modern, secure disk-based technologies and pay only for what you use.
If your organization is like most, demand for data backup and protection is growing. And so are the costs to maintain these backups. Data centers are notorious for consuming power and space, which means most organizations must continually buy excess capacity to respond to new business requirements. In addition, in-house operations staff must continuously keep pace with accelerating technology innovation — further driving up costs.
You decide where to host the data, and we handle the purchase, configuration, protection and management.
Backups — and more importantly — restores must be readily available, highly secure and within your budget. Given the advances in cloud and hybrid IT environments, it’s time to replace your capital budget, backup operations, asset management, tools and facilities with a secure, flexible pay-per-use option from a trusted partner.
Backup that fits your budget
DXC Backup as a Service provides cost-effective managed service for backup and recovery of all types of data. You can choose whether you want the data hosted in your data centers and remote offices, DXC Technology data centers, or public cloud environments, and then we handle the purchase, configuration, protection and management of your data.
Regardless of the type or location of your company’s data assets, DXC Backup as a Service can protect your data. We provide this service where you need it, and we ensure compliance with national data sovereignty rules through locally deployed assets and in-country support.

Upgrade your backup
Traditional data backup methods rely on magnetic tape, racking up costs for the recording equipment as well as the tape storage and retention. DXC Backup as a Service eliminates the need for tape backup, and provides a centralized, scalable solution for critical and noncritical data. See the results on your bottom line: You can transition costs from a CAPEX to an OPEX model and save up to 30 percent of your total data backup costs. Additionally, our backup services draw on the latest data protection technologies to keep your data safe.
For example, a global educational testing company was able to improve the backup and recovery of its largest database environment. DXC Backup as a Service reduced backup and recovery times by 95 percent, which helped the client address a daily issue of overrunning backup windows.
In another example, a North American shipbuilder was able to achieve 25 percent savings over 5 years for its backup environment while reducing capital expenditure by $3 million.
