i365 Extends Data Replication Services to the Cloud
EVault offsite services are delivered either as a virtual extension for remote self-service or as a managed service.
i365 Inc., a data protection and data backup solutions provider, has announced the EVault offsite replication service for SMBs.
EVault is a cloud storage service that protects data from a site outage–but without the hassle and expense of building an offsite data center.
The EVault offsite replication service provides a means for customers to quickly and easily maintain a mirrored copy of their onsite backup data on the i365 Cloud. A network of Tier III and IV SAS 70 Type II certified data centers with data protection infrastructure comprise that Cloud.
The EVault offsite replication service is delivered either as a virtual extension of the customer’s own internal infrastructure–where they manage their remote vault within the i365 Cloud–or as a managed service, which includes a team of i365 experts to manage their onsite and offsite vaults for them.
i365 says its customers “benefit from this hybrid solution as it gives them quick recovery of their data in the event of a site disaster.
The company adds that its new service is designed to simplify the way EVault Software customers implement the other services offered in the i365 cloud, such as a remote warm site for servers using i365’s EVault Remote Disaster Recovery Service–a hosted service that helps recover critical applications after a disaster.
Terry Cunningham, SVP and GM of i365, says that his company’s SaaS customers trust i365 to protect their critical data. Now, he says, EVault Software customers can “leverage the cloud as a natural extension to their on-premise solutions and an additional layer of offsite protection.”
“We believe mid-sized businesses want the simplicity and efficiency of working within one integrated solution,” says Cunningham, “and EVault gives them the ability to extend their data protection into the cloud using the same software they already know, while giving them the flexibility to custom-create the backup and recovery system best for them, whether it be on premise, off premise, or a combination of the two.”
EVault offsite replication service benefits include:
- Over-the-Wire Optimization–Client-side quick file scanning, delta processing, and compression helps to ensure only the smallest amount of backup data is replicated to the i365 Cloud.
- Cloud Infrastructure–The i365 Cloud consists of a network of data centers, all SAS 70 Type II certified, all either Tier III or Tier IV according to standards set by the Uptime Institute.
- Service–24/7 support, with a team of experts.
- End-to-End Data Security–Supports end-to-end encryption and makes it possible to encrypt backup data in transit.
