Channel-based data security outfit Arcserve has improved its StorageCraft Cloud Services Basic so that MSPs can offer best-in-class cloud backup and disaster recovery services to a broader range of customers with unprecedented ROI and profit potential.
StorageCraft Cloud Services Basic now comprises 500GB backup per machine, annual retention points, and cloud portal management at a GBP18 per machine price point which also includes an on-premises data protection licence for either ShadowXafe or ShadowProtect.
The company tells us that the product means MSPs can service a wider range of customer use cases, including small businesses and data protection for small physical and virtual workstations. Thanks to StorageCraft Cloud Services Basic, these use cases are now economically viable.
MSPs can pool storage across multiple machines for maximum flexibility and ROI. Unlike typical cloud services providers that add fees for features such as bringing customer data in and out of the cloud or recovering files in the event of failure, these features are standard in StorageCraft Cloud Services.
MSP Kogo Managing Director Martin Bannister said that more customers are asking for cloud backup services, we have struggled to solve their needs with a solution that is robust, flexible, easy to manage, and profitable.
“StorageCraft Cloud Services Basic solves this problem. Features such as annual retention that offer up to 20 recovery points mean that we can configure backup and recovery around customers’ specific needs. In addition, the central and easy-to-use self-service portal makes management remarkably simple and efficient and further adds to the ROI.”
