The Planet Lowers List Pricing for Backup by 50%

The Planet, in IT hosting, today announced that it has reduced list pricing on its two server backup products. Effective today, EVault Backup is now priced at $1 per GB, down from $2. Its Network Backup product is now priced at 50 cents per GB, down from $1. The price reduction follows a recent upgrade to the company’s managed storage infrastructure, which offers customers additional storage space and enhanced performance.

“Storage and backup are increasingly critical for small- and medium-sized companies, since data loss can actually driwww.msc-ge.comve a company out of business,” said Rob Walters, The Planet’s general manager of storage and data protection. “Now any organization can protect data — which can literally mean the difference between success and failure — for as little as $5 per month. At this affordable rate, there’s no excuse to leave critical data unprotected.”

EVault Backup features a comprehensive, intuitive interface, with rich backup functionality from data-protection industry leader EVault. The Planet’s Network Backup provides archiving space available directly through custwww.msc-ge.comomer applications and tools, and it features standard protocols for ease of access.

Both solutions are available in 10GB to 80GB or larger capacities for mission-critical environments.

Through Sep. 30, 2008, new orders of EVault Backup and Network Backup are free for the first 90 days.
