StorageCraft Partnership with Doyenz

StorageCraft is teaming up with Doyenz, the people who created the Doyenz ShadowCloud. This means you can now failover your ShadowProtect images in the cloud. It’s a great way to do your offsite backup, while still allowing you to keep your ShadowProtect images onsite.

You’re protected if you need rapid recovery of your systems and/or data no matter what happens. If it’s user error, you can quickly mount your ShadowProtect backup image and recover files and folders. If it’s server failure, you can do a bare metal recovery. And if you have an entire site wiped out, you can access your entire server from the Doyenz ShadowCloud.

We’re highlighting the new partnership at SMB Nation this weekend. Stop by our booth (#213) and say hello, if you’re in Las Vegas.

CRN Profiles StorageCraft on ChannelWeb

CRN has a profile on StorageCraft that it just posted as part of its Emerging Vendor series.

With such major players using its technology it shouldn’t come as surprise that the people running the company thought they could do well for themselves by forming their own channel program and working with solution providers directly.

The profile touches on a little company history and highlights our two channel programs.

    StorageCraft History

    Sometimes it’s difficult to know where to begin, so when in doubt, begin at the beginning. StorageCraft’s history started in the 90s as StorageCraft, Inc. — a company that made storage drivers and other tools. In 2003, it merged with ShadowStor and became StorageCraft Technology Corporation.

    For the first few years we focused on using the great tools created in the 90s and developing really reliable software from them. First, we offered ShadowServer, ShadowUser and ShadowSurfer, which made use of the original snapshot driver the company had developed.

    Several other companies were already using our technology in their backup software, so we decided to use our fantastic snapshot driver to create our own backup and disaster recovery solution. In 2005, we released ShadowProtect, which has gone on to win awards and praises around the world.

    The company is located in Draper, Utah in the U.S. If you’ve ever wondered where Draper is, it’s in the south part of the Salt Lake valley.
