AhsayCBS Management Console Hosting Fee

AhsayCBS management console hosting fee is for the hosting and maintenance of your own dedicated AhsayCBS backup server instance which is the core component of the Ahsay backup service, managing all the user accounts, backups, and restores. The hosting fee depends on the hosting plan you select and is in addition to your subscription fee for storage and backup service.

There are two types of AhsayCBS Management Console hosting plans:

• For a non-branded hosting plan the hosting fee is USD$30 per month, US$300 per year.
  Uses the default Ahsay branding for AhsayCBS Management Console, AhsayOBM/AhsayACB backup agents, and Ahsay Mobile.
• For a co-branded hosting plan the hosting fee is USD$90 per month, US$900 per year.
  This includes the use of your own custom logo for AhsayCBS Management Console and AhsayOBM/AhsayACB backup agents. However, due to limitations of the Google Play and Apple App Store the co-branding of Ahsay Mobile app is not available.

If you are an individual customer and run a simple backup, you are not required to pay to host the AhsayCBS Management Console. Please use Ahsay subsidiary brand - CloudBacko backup. 

Enhance your brand recognition with our co-branded backup solution (AMBaaS)

*On top add $60 per month, $600 per year if you choose co-branded hosting plan.

1. How much storage size is required to backup my data ?

The built-in advanced deduplication and compression in Ahsay backup agent can save you lots of storage space for backup by default but the typical business practice of keeping all versions of data for 365 days will eat up your storage gradually. As a rule of thumb, simply choose the package above with size equals to the size of your data to backup. It is usually the best fit for most situations.

2. Where do you store my backup data in AMBaaS ? Is it safe ?

Backup data in Ahsay Managed Backup-as-a-Service (AMBaaS) is stored on Ahsay Drive which is powered by Microsoft Azure. Microsoft guarantees at least 99.99% availability and usually have a data center node close to you for fast access. Security is also monitored 24x7 to prevent attack from hackers. It requires no I.T. knowledge to setup the best possible backup solution for all your critical business systems to a secure cloud storage easily.

3. Is it possible to perform on-premise backup without saving data to the cloud ?

If you are not allowed to backup your data to cloud for security reasons due to regulations, you can setup a on-premise system similar to Ahsay Managed Backup-as-a-Service (AMBaaS) to fulfil your backup need. With Ahsay Universal Backup System (AhsayUBS), it is possible to install a complete backup system to bare metal computer in less than 15 minutes. You can then backup everything onsite to AhsayUBS and optionally replicate all backup data offsite to another computer also running AhsayUBS in another geographic location. This gives you the complete control of your backup infrastructure with no data in the hands of external parties. The following table lists some of the DELL PowerEdge servers supported by AhsayUBS with their recommended retail prices for your reference. Click here for details of AhsayUBS features.

4. Is it cheaper to backup to local, instead of cloud, drive ?

In contrast to the traditional software licensing model, which is based on the number of copies of our software installed on different computers, Ahsay Backup Software (DIY) licensing fee is derived from the total amount of backup data generated by our software instead. It doesn't matter whether the backup data are being stored on-premise locally or in the cloud remotely. The license fee under this licensing model is generally cheaper than the one under traditional model and most users will end up paying less on software license with this model. The exact calculation of Ahsay Backup Software (DIY) license fee is based on the both volume and types of backup data (per backup set) with the rates and supported systems set out in the following table where the three different types of backup data defined are:

1. Files or NAS which involve backing up of plain files only
2. Applications, Databases or Virtual Machines which involve backing up different business applications, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, VMware
3. Microsoft 365 which involves backing up of Outlook, Sharepoint, OneDrive and Team data in Microsoft 365 accounts

Assuming you are required to backup the following systems, the total license fee required is $0.50 + $1.50 + $5 + $1 + $5 + $10 + $6 + $10 + $3.50 + $53 + $110 = $205.50/month

Notes:
* independent of the number of virtual machines to backup
** include all Sharepoint, OneDrive and Teams data within the same Microsoft 365 organization
