Two Yorkshire cloud firms have joined forces to offer their customers better data protection.
virtualDCS, a cloud and disaster recovery specialist, is hosting Vapour’s Veeam backups, after striking a deal with the cloud firm. The partnership will give clients more scale, flexibility, and security for their data management.
Jason Fenwick (right), a former Vapour engineer with over 30 years of IT experience, has moved to virtualDCS as part of the deal. He will make sure the service is smooth and the customers are happy.
Tom Best, a new technical support apprentice, will also join the virtualDCS team.
Vapour has been working with Veeam, the global software leader in data protection, since January 2021. But it wanted to ramp up its data security strategy to offer more benefits to its customers. By moving its Veeam services to virtualDCS, it has boosted its ability to provide more resilience, support, and cloud growth.
Jason Newell (left), virtualDCS’s channel director, said: “We’re chuffed to have Jason and Tom on board. Jason knows Vapour’s system and customers inside out, so he’s the ideal person to handle the transition.
“Our CloudCover recovery suite is ‘reseller ready’, approved by Veeam for the channel. We also won the Veeam Global Innovation Award this year – the first European company to do so. These achievements show we’re a trusted Veeam partner and a safe pair of hands for service providers and their customers.
“We can’t wait to help Vapour with its disaster recovery and business continuity plans. With virtualDCS, Veeam and CloudCover, partners get more features than other Veeam providers. These include Azure AD backup, Kubernetes backup, and our new Clean Room ransomware protection in our Cloud Connect Offsite Backup solution.”
Vapour’s CEO, Tim Mercer (centre), said: “We’ve always respected virtualDCS and their expertise. The IT industry is changing fast and we need specialists to succeed. virtualDCS are the experts in backup, disaster recovery and cloud hosting.
“Our customers are the reason for this partnership. We work with all kinds of organisations and we always look for ways to improve our security and availability. This move lets us offer more virtualDCS CloudCover services, with the best system, reliability, support and technical skills behind us – giving us and our customers total confidence in our toolkit.”
virtualDCS has grown massively since going channel-first last year. It’s now a leader in backup and disaster recovery. It also won a prestigious Veeam Innovation Award this year, showing its dedication to cutting-edge technology and top-quality solutions.
