Cloud49 Offering Ctera Cloud-Based Backup Solution

Cloud49 and CTERA Networks  Ltd. announced that Cloud49 is now offering CTERA's Cloud Attached Storage solution to resellers and MSP partners across the Western United States to provide cloud backup solutions.

With locations in Los Angeles, CA, Seattle, WA and Anchorage, AK, Cloud49 is a cloud solutions provider that focuses on wholesale, pay-as-you-go services which resellers and MSPs can offer to their small and midsized business customers.

Cloud49's approach allows their partners to focus on added-value, customer-facing services, and minimize their capital investments in technology, infrastructure and IT overhead across services including on-demand servers, storage, disaster recovery, and backup.

"CTERA's hybrid approach, combining on-premises appliances with cloud backup is vastly superior and more robust than cloud-only models," said President Nathaniel Gates at Cloud49. "Cloud49 is all about cloud enablement, and with CTERA, we empower our channel to meet the exploding demand for easy-to-use, cost effective data protection while providing them a framework for monetizing cloud services."

The CTERA solution integrates appliances and managed agents with the CTERA Portal, a scalable cloud storage delivery platform, to deliver a unified, hybrid approach to cloud storage. The CTERA solution also incorporates built-in capabilities that enable Cloud49 to empower channel partners to deliver their own hybrid cloud backup solutions with minimal CAPEX and based out of enterprise-grade, secure SAS70 Level II datacenters.

"By collaborating with fast growing cloud service providers with innovative business models such as Cloud49, we are realizing our vision of making innovative, reliable storage and data protection solutions available through the channel." said Donald Fuller, Director of Channel Sales for North America at CTERA Networks. "Cloud49 shares our vision of scaling their business through the channel, creating value for partners and SMB end users, as a superior alternative to the generic, mass retail cloud model."
