Global Data Vault is a leader in cloud-based Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS), Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS), and the backup for Microsoft 365 space. GDV strives to add the most value to their customers based on their guiding principals of Data Quality, Proactive Monitoring, Transparency and straight forward pricing.
