Parablu Launches BluVault Integration With Microsoft OneDrive for Business

Parablu, Inc. announced the availability of BluVault, a secure endpoint backup solution for Microsoft Corp.‘ OneDrive for Business users.

The next generation solution enables enterprises to use OneDrive for Business as a backup target for the endpoints.

BluVault has an integration with Microsoft’s OneDrive for Business offering. It automatically backups user data from endpoints to their respective OneDrive for Business storage accounts. BluVault works in tandem with company’s CASB solution – BluKrypt – which encrypts the data stream using the customer’s encryption keys before writing it to the OneDrive cloud – making the security, more robust. The solution offers a 100% defense from ransomware and other malicious attacks.

The solution which can be deployed on-premise or hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud, can reduce endpoint backup costs by as much as 70% as compared to existing on-premise or cloud-based solutions. Existing MS Office 365 customers who already have a OneDrive subscription can use the solution without any extra storage cost. The solution is scalable and can effortlessly scale to cover 100,000+ endpoints.

“OneDrive for Business makes it easy to manage your work files, share them and collaborate from any device. Parablu enriches OneDrive for Business with customizations for backup, security and scalability enhancing the cloud experience for customers,” said Narendra Bhandari, GM, developer experience and evangelism, Microsoft India.

Anand Prahlad, CEO, Parablu, said: “Enterprises, at just a fraction of their current cost, can now deploy a solution that gives them 100% protection of their data on endpoints, 100% utilization of their OneDrive for Business subscriptions and 100% scalability across geographies and devices. We are excited to partner with Microsoft and our goal is to expand the reach of both Microsoft Azure and OneDrive for Business globally.“
