Trusted Cloud and Hosted Service Provider for Business

Cloud Backup Services

Cloud backup is the process of automatically and securely copying your business data to an off-site data center so it can be restored if it’s lost, corrupted, deleted, or encrypted by ransomware. Clear Winds’ Cloud Backup Services store your data in our Tier III, SOC 2 Type II, fully redundant data centers in Alabama and Tennessee, with daily monitoring by our in-house team.

What’s included:

  • Backups monitored daily by U.S.-based, in-house technicians (not a call center)
  • Tailored coverage — from full data center environments to Microsoft 365 and end-user devices
  • Protection against natural disasters, hardware failure, water/fire damage, human error, and ransomware/malware attacks
  • Backup verification/restore testing on a defined schedule

Disaster Recovery Services

Disaster recovery (DR) is the plan and infrastructure that lets your business restore IT systems and data quickly after an outage, cyberattack, or disaster — minimizing downtime instead of just backing up files. Since downtime is never an option, businesses nationwide rely on our Disaster Recovery Services. Our Disaster Recovery Services enable companies to:
  • Have an offsite location to bring up data and applications
  • Regularly test disaster recovery plans by restoring their data in Clear Winds’ service center
  • Provide continuous service to customers
  • Reduce cost by bundling hosted backup sites with hosted virtual servers for application recovery
  • Streamline the recovery process by eliminating the need to configure hardware, software, and files
Most Clear Winds clients recover critical systems within hours, not days — because your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) are defined and tested before disaster strikes, not during it.

Hosted Servers & Cloud Infrastructure

Hosted servers give you a dedicated, fully controllable server environment in Clear Winds’ data centers — with fixed pricing and no shared-resource restrictions — instead of managing physical hardware onsite. Clear Winds’ Hosted Computing Solutions allow you to be completely in control of your data. We provide you with a fully controllable and highly customizable cloud environment option and provide fixed pricing on hosted server environments. You’ll have full access to your server and storage in our powerful environment without any resource restrictions.
Plus, hosted servers are stored at our Tier III, SOC 2 Type II data centers located in Alabama and Tennessee, so you can even physically visit your server. Add this to your package today!

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Clear Winds offers cloud backup and disaster recovery, VoIP and business phone hosting, Microsoft 365 and email services, and cloud infrastructure hosting through our SOC 2 Type II certified data centers. We design and manage cloud solutions tailored to your business — from simple backup plans to full cloud migrations.

 

 

Cloud backup is the process of securely copying your business data to an off-site, cloud-based location so it can be recovered if files are lost, corrupted, or encrypted by ransomware. Disaster recovery goes further — it’s a plan and set of systems that allow your entire IT environment to be restored quickly after a major incident, minimizing downtime and data loss.

 

 

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a phone system that routes calls over your internet connection instead of traditional phone lines. For businesses, this means lower costs, more flexibility, easier management, and features like call routing, voicemail-to-email, and remote calling from any device. Clear Winds hosts and manages VoIP systems for businesses across multiple states.

 

 

Yes. Clear Winds operates SOC 2 Type II certified data centers, meaning our security controls, availability, and data confidentiality practices have been independently audited and verified over a sustained period — not just at a single point in time. This certification is particularly important for clients in healthcare, finance, and government.

 

 

Recovery time depends on the scope of the incident and the backup solution in place. With Clear Winds’ managed backup and disaster recovery services, most clients can restore critical systems within hours rather than days. During onboarding, we define your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) — the maximum acceptable downtime and data loss for your business — and design your recovery plan to meet them.

 

 

Cloud backup stores copies of your existing data and systems off-site so they can be restored if something goes wrong — you don’t own or manage the underlying hardware. Colocation is different: you own your servers and hardware, and Clear Winds houses them in our secure, professionally managed data center, providing the power, cooling, network connectivity, and physical security. Many businesses use both — colocating their primary hardware while also backing up critical data to a separate, redundant location.

 

 

Pricing depends on factors like data volume, number of users, compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS, etc.), and which services you need — backup alone costs less than a full hosted server environment or VoIP rollout. Most businesses start with a free IT assessment so we can scope your actual needs and provide an accurate, fixed-price quote rather than a generic estimate.

 

Both. Clear Winds supports fully hosted environments in our Alabama and Tennessee data centers as well as hybrid setups that combine on-premise infrastructure with cloud backup, disaster recovery, or hosted servers. If you already have on-site hardware you want to keep, we can build a hybrid solution around it rather than requiring a full migration.
