Compuquip Partners With i365

Compuquip Technologies, an integrated IT company, has partnered with i365 to offer the EVault Cloud-Connected Service Provider (CCSP) program. The EVault CCSP program is a channel offering that packages EVault technology and best practices to help resellers build a profitable Cloud-Connected data protection service – backed by i365 and the EVault Cloud.

"For our customers, the EVault name represents the same values that we bring to the table: secure, smart, and trusted solutions that businesses can count on," said Brian Dosal, director of sales & marketing for Compuquip Technologies. "As an EVault CCSP partner, we will be able to deliver Compuquip’s version of an online backup service, tailored to our unique business model and client roster."

Dosal added that Compuquip Technologies decided to partner with i365 because i365 is known for living and breathing data backups. Also, it is the only vendor that can offer all the components – hardware, software, service expertise, support and Cloud infrastructure – to help us get our service up and running effectively.

This program gives the channel community a way to build a profitable cloud business, while eliminating the barriers to entry, costs, risks and long learning curves associated with developing a hosting infrastructure. It is designed to help resellers get to market fast – EVault CCSP pilot partners in North America and Europe were operational and generating a recurring revenue stream in 2-4 weeks.

The program provides:

• Access to the online data protection technology – optimized for a hosted service environment and delivered as an all-in-one appliance
• Deployment on reseller’s site – with a multi-tenant license and flexible pay-as-you-grow model
• EVault Cloud Safety Net – backups replicated from reseller’s site to the EVault Cloud
• Training and enablement – including transfer of best practices on marketing, selling and operating a SaaS business
• Unlimited support – from EVault experts

EVault is designed from the ground up to perform over a Wide Area Network, with built-in deduplication and compression efficiencies that speed data transfer and reduce storage footprints. This model creates a new level of collaboration between Cloud technology vendors and the channel. The EVault CCSP program extends i365’s Cloud-Connected storage solution portfolio, which includes EVault data protection software, appliances, SaaS and managed services, delivered since 1997 to more than 30,000 SMBs and enterprise remote and branch offices worldwide.

"Compuquip Technologies means security. This partnership gives us access to the most competitive Cloud data protection solution on the market, allowing us to provide our clients with peace of mind in one more way," added Dosal.
