Continuum BDR Platform Available to MSPs

In Europe

Continuum Managed Services LLC, an IT management platform company, has made Continuity247, its managed backup and DR (BDR) platform, available to MSPs across Europe.

Last month, Continuum announced extending its international offering with a data center in London. It is securely storing end-client data out of the London-based data center. This latest version of Continuity247 features Tru-Verify, a recovery point verification.

Since launching Continuity247 in the US last year and its consequent success, our MSP partners in Europe have been waiting for this industry-leading BDR technology,” said John Mandel, SVP of engineering, Continuum. “We are already working with a number of MSPs to bring robust data protection, and secure and reliable cloud storage to businesses in Europe. We are thrilled to provide this platform that allows all MSPs in Europe to take advantage of the BDR opportunity and maximize margins.

Continuum has been utilizing cloud storage via two redundant data centers in the US to ensure security, reliability and availability of MSP customer data since the launch of Continuity247 in 2015. The facility in London, which has built-in 2N redundancy to ensure client data is always available, allows Continuum to deliver its managed BDR offering outside of North America for the first time.

Managed services that provide added functionality to service providers’ hosted offerings are increasingly in demand by customers of all sizes,” said Rory Duncan, research director for European services, 451 Research LLC. “Managed backup, security and DR are of particular interest, given the increase in cyber-attacks facing enterprise companies, as well as their obligations for data protection and industry compliance – particularly in Europe. Platform choice for MSPs is an important part of providing the right solution for their customers, so we welcome this new capbility in the London metro market.

Continuity247 is backed by Continuum’s Network Operations Center (NOC) with 700 technicians who monitor and verify backups, provide recovery and testing support, troubleshoot and ensure backups continuously run 24x7x365 for SMBs.

This is a great tool that fits well with the business and the managed service works well,” said Andrew Bousie, technical services manager, Itek Systems Management. “From a technical standpoint, we are happy to use Continuity247, and it is much easier to manage than our previous BDR providers.

Continuity247’s Tru-Verify feature confirms the integrity of recovery points to ensure that the most recent backup on all protected machines can be virtualized in the event of a disaster. During the verification process, Continuity247 delivers a time-lapse video of the backup and boot process that shows the MSP what happened and provides context when issues arise, enabling easier and faster remediation. MSPs can also send reports via customized emails to clients to demonstrate that data has been backed up and stored successfully.
