To back up data
Carbonite already backs up data for more than 100,000 small businesses that use the Carbonite's consumer product, which offers unlimited backup for $54.95 per year per computer. Carbonite found business users had different requirements from consumers, so Carbonite Pro includes many new features that small businesses have requested.
"Small businesses don't always do a very good job of backing up their office computers," said Carbonite CEO and co-founder David Friend. "So, many of them have been turning to Carbonite as a way to easily and inexpensively back up their laptop and desktop computers. Now we have a version of Carbonite that incorporates everything that these small-business users have been asking for: no per-PC fees, administrative tools that are simple enough for any office manager to use, the ability to back up external drives and priority support. Nobody wants to spend a lot of time or money backing up computers, so we've made Carbonite Pro a simple and affordable online backup service for businesses."
Advantages:
- Simplicity. One doesn't need a technical background to use Carbonite Pro. Getting started is quick and hassle-free.
- Security. Files are encrypted before they leave the employees' computers. They are stored safely offsite at the Carbonite state-of-the-art data centers. If an employee leaves the company, the administrator can quickly disable his or her access to backups.
- Affordable data protection. Carbonite Pro starts with a free one-month trial and continues with a simple tiered pricing structure based on how much data a business chooses to store. There are no licensing, set-up or per-computer fees.
- Centralized administration. Carbonite Pro protects data across the company with little ongoing effort. An administrator dashboard makes it easy to see the status of every employee's backup.
- Back it up. Get it back. Backing up is important. But quickly recovering lost files is even more important. When disaster strikes, the Restore Wizard guides you step-by-step to recover lost or damaged files. Priority phone support, live-chat and email support gets you quick answers to questions or problems.
- Remote access. Carbonite Pro customers can log into their accounts from any computer with an internet connection and download any file in their backups.
