QuorumSoft, a provider of deduplicating archival solutions based in Burlington, Vt., created Alike MSP Advantage, a new program designed to expand the opportunity for managed service providers (MSPs) to offer their customers backup and disaster recovery services. Beginning June 1, MSPs will be able to implement the Alike product suite and only pay a monthly fee based on the backup and disaster recovery services they deliver to customers.
MSPs can use the Alike MSP Advantage program to meet the growing demand for backup and disaster recovery protection delivered as part of their monthly outsourcing agreement with customers.
Alike, a solution for the Citrix XenServer virtualization platform, enables image-level backups of virtual machines (VMs), even while they are running. MSPs leveraging Alike MSP Advantage will benefit from the Alike architecture that remotely connects XenServer hosts, thus minimizing the potential for disruption to production environments and conserving CPU and I/O resources.
Alike DR is a disaster recovery solution featuring an Offsite Recovery module that lets users choose the data to vault offsite. Alike DR also features Enhanced Replication, a way to synchronize a virtual machine on a schedule using delta-only transfers and stream compression. Enhanced Replication can be used on a LAN, WAN, or cloud-based server.
