CloudBerry Backup Supports Google Cloud Storage Nearline

CloudBerry Lab, Inc., a vendor of backup and management solutions for public cloud storage services, announced that its CloudBerry Backup family of solutions supports Google Cloud Storage Nearline on the first day of the service’s availability.

Cloud Storage Nearline provides a low-cost cloud storage option to CloudBerry customers, but without the three-to-five-hour wait that other services require to retrieve data; with cloud Storage Nearline, customers can retrieve data in second. In addition, cloud Storage Nearline provides a 99% availability SLA (service level agreement) and a throughput guarantee of 4MB/s per TB.

For SMBs, this collaboration gives CloudBerry customers access from day one to a low-cost target that’s well suited for backup storage. And for CloudBerry’s MSP partners, cloud Storage Nearline is integrated with all other Google cloud Platform services and uses the same unified API.

CloudBerry Backup provides SMBs with a reliable, powerful and affordable solution to backup and recover data using the cloud. In addition to offering real-time and/or scheduled regular backups for simple backups, local disk image, or bare metal restore, the solution employs block level backup for maximum efficiency and provides alerting features to track each backup and restore plan remotely. Data is protected via 256-bit AES encryption with keys controlled only by the customer, while confidentiality is enforced through transparent exchange whereby only the end-user has access to the actual data residing on Cloud Storage Nearline.

For VARs and resellers, CloudBerry provides a managed, robust platform enabling them to start selling backup services to their customers, increasing revenue and expanding their core suite of service offerings.

“This collaboration with Google cloud Platform gives all of our customers a cloud storage target that’s perfect for backup storage,” said Alexey Serkov, CTO, CloudBerry. “It’s very low-cost and yet provides access to data ins, not minutes or hours, so when customers need to restore, they don’t need to worry about excessive downtime while they wait to retrieve the backups. CloudBerry is excited to be able to offer full Google cloud Storage Nearline support from day one.“
