StorageCraft Joined ESET Technology Alliance

ESET North America, in proactive digital protection, announced that StorageCraft Corporation has joined the ESET Technology Alliance.

As a result of this relationship, ESET customers have the option to add StorageCraft backup and DR to their layered security strategy through their existing ESET reseller. (Limited distribution for select resellers through April 21, 2015)

“Our partners and customers have been asking for backup and DR solutions,” said Gerald Choung, VP sales, ESET. “Adding StorageCraft to the ESET Technology Alliance makes perfect sense since they have an outstanding line of products and conduct their business exclusively through the reseller channel. With the Ponemon Institute* reporting that companies lose an average of $7,900 for every minute of downtime, StorageCraft’s ability to offer our customers 100% BC made them an easy choice.“

StorageCraft offers backup software and DR, data protection, and migration solutions for physical, virtual, and hybrid Windows and Linux IT environments. The company’s solutions enable users to maintain BC during times of disaster, computer outages, or other unforeseen events by reducing downtime, improving security and stability for systems and data, and lowering the TCO.

“As a seller of both ESET and StorageCraft exclusively, we are excited to see this partnership come together,” said Mitch Miller, owner and president, Dynamic Computer Solutions of Topeka, Inc.. “Security and recovery go hand in hand, and increasingly, our customers are looking for a comprehensive approach to security, and a one stop shop for their security needs. Whether it is on the data side or the hardware side, these two vendors truly offer best-in-class solutions.”

By offering StorageCraft through ESET, customers and channel partners will receive an enhanced ordering experience, and easy access to products that cover a multi-layered security solution. In addition, partners will receive competitive pricing on ESET products when purchasing ESET and StorageCraft together.

“In today’s 24/7 business environment, enterprises can’t afford to shut down for a day due to natural disasters or data loss, which is why it’s imperative that enterprises big and small have both a backup and recovery solution in place as part of their comprehensive security strategy,” said Mike Kunz, VP WW sales, StorageCraft. “Choosing ESET as our preferred security partner not only streamlines our joint customers’ experiences, but offers them access to the best security and backup and recovery solutions on the market with one touchpoint.“

Launched in 2013, the ESET Technology Alliance is an integration partnership that aims to better protect businesses by offering a range of complementary IT security solutions. All members of the ESET Technology Alliance are vetted against a set of established criteria to extend business protection across IT environments. Benefiting from an integration with the ESET ordering and licensing system, the Technology Alliance enables ESET resellers to offer business customers a broader set of products and services.
