Carbonite Inc. has introduced the Carbonite Appliance HT10, a hybrid backup solution designed to meet the needs of small businesses. The Carbonite Appliance boasts the speed of local backup and the safety of the cloud, protecting businesses against data loss.
For channel partners, the Carbonite Appliance allows partners to provide centrally-managed local and cloud data backup to their small business clients. The Carbonite Appliance is fully managed by the channel partner, allowing partners to increase their interaction with clients, empowering them to strengthen existing relationships and providing the opportunity to drive revenue through business growth.
“We are reinforcing our commitment to our channel partners and the small business market with the launch of the channel-exclusive Carbonite Appliance,” says David Maffei, vice president, global channel sales, Carbonite. “The Carbonite Appliance is a simple, secure hybrid backup solution that’s just right for our partners’ small business clients. The local data recovery and automatic cloud integration allow partners to protect their clients’ most important asset – their business-critical data. The complete bare metal backup and recovery ensures small business clients can get right back to business.”
The Carbonite Appliance provides partners and their small business clients with the following features:
- Provides an appliance for local backups, and automatically copies all stored data to the cloud. The appliance includes 1TB of local storage plus 500GB of cloud storage.
- Provides the partner with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to configure, monitor, and manage the backup and restore processes.
- No hardware fees, upfront costs, or per-server license fees.
- Bare metal recovery allows a business to get back up and running by restoring the full system, including operating systems, applications, databases, and files to new or existing hardware.
- Data is transferred using SSL encryption and stored with AES-256 encryption server-side.
