Arcserve is expanding the Arcserve Cloud to all ArcserveUnified Data Protection (UDP) platform customers in North America and EMEA. This service extension ensures that all UDP customers in both regions will be able to complete their data protection strategies with a single solution for cloud backup, data archiving and disaster recovery. Fully integrated with Arcserve UDP, the Arcserve Cloud is an easy-to-deploy, cost-effective solution for comprehensive offsite data protection, and offers a valuable option for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to extend their solution portfolio with a data protection platform that eliminates the need to purchase and manage multiple cloud solutions.
Encompassing global deduplication, encryption, compression and WAN-optimised replication, the benefits of the cloud service go far beyond data protection with advanced recovery capabilities such as:
· Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS): Store critical business data for disaster recovery without the cost and maintenance of dedicated hardware, power, additional IT resources or secondary sites for offsite storage. Users may also spin up a virtual machine in the Arcserve Cloud for fast failover and failback, and confirm RTO, RPO and SLAs with automated disaster recovery testing with application level recovery.
· Offsite Data Retention: Long-term cloud backup storage as an alternative to local disk or tape for regulatory compliance. It ensures that critical data is fully protected and available offsite so your business is “always on.”
· Disaster Recovery Testing: Remote virtual standby to easily test application failover at any time without expensive infrastructure, thereby ensuring data recovery plan efficiency and accuracy.
“The expansion of the Arcserve Cloud to all UDP customers in North America and EMEA underscores our continued commitment to ensure full protection of critical business data 100 percent of the time,” said Christophe Bertrand, vice president of product marketing, Arcserve. “With one single console, users have the flexibility to manage the entirety of their environment – virtual, cloud or physical – with a seamless means to effectively address their current and future backup and recovery needs.”
Partners in the Arcserve MSP program can leverage the Arcserve Cloud service as a way to help their customers achieve Assured Recovery™ and business continuity while adding a bottom- and top-line growth opportunity. Whether providing on-premise or off-premise data protection services—or protecting your hosted services data centres, our MSP program provides simple, reliable, comprehensive data protection.
