Looking for a way to have your cloud and still make money, too? We announced our new joint cloud backup venture today, the Business Continuity Suite powered by StorageCraft and Symform. The news announcement highlights our partnership and how MSPs can use the Business Continuity Suite to backup their customers’ systems and data near-line and off-site — without it costing an arm and a leg.

In the next few weeks, Symform and StorageCraft will offer Web-based training courses so you can learn how the Business Continuity Suite works and how to set it up to get the most benefit for your customers. Basically, you use StorageCraft ShadowProtect technology to backup servers, desktops and laptops and then save the point-in-time backup images to the Symform Cooperative Storage Cloud.

The Business Continuity Suite will help you provide the following:

•    Get systems up and running quickly after a catastrophic failure.

•    Backup on-site and replicate to the cloud for flexible disaster recovery options.

•    Restore to bare metal, to dissimilar hardware or to and from virtual environments.

•    Multiple levels of encryption and military grade security of backup files to prevent intrusion.

•    Schedule full and incremental backups to be saved automatically on-site and in the cloud.

•    Contribute excess storage and get valuable cloud storage in return.

•    Rapid recovery of files, folders or your entire system should a disaster occur.

You can learn more about the Business Continuity Suite at www.businesscontinuitysuite.com, where you’ll find white papers, data sheets, an analyst’s report and more. Or sign up for the free, one-hour classes which will show you how you can offer simple, affordable cloud backup to your customers.
