Leveraging the cloud is the new norm in business. It’s growing so quickly that Gartner predicts 55% of large enterprises will have an all-in cloud software as a service (SaaS) strategy by 2025.

"Cloud is the new way of doing business," says Gregg Mearing, head of managed services at Node4. "But businesses shouldn’t assume data protection and backup come with all SaaS offerings."

Node4 started as a mid-market cloud services provider. Its expertise and offerings quickly helped the company grow into the enterprise space. "Our customers rely on us to help define their cloud strategy and manage it," explains Mearing. "Data is absolutely key, and our data management approach leads every proposal we put forward."
