Web Hosting Company Fasthosts Chooses NovaStor

Fasthosts Internet Limited chooses NovaBACKUP xSP
from data protection specialist NovaStor Software AG to offer backup-as-a-service to its
400,000 plus customers.

As provider of hosted IT solutions, Fasthosts chose NovaStor for its secure data encryption, support of its channel distribution model and little to
no need for technical support.

Fasthosts wanted
to complement its services for over 400,000 customers and 6,000 resale partners
with online backup. Fasthosts defined
core requirements and evaluated cloud backup platforms. After
competitor analysis and tests, NovaBACKUP xSP proved as the solution to
provide an online backup service for worldwide data availability.
NovaStor’s public cloud backup platform, NovaBACKUP xSP, swayed Fasthosts with
its simple administrative effort and  reliability.
NovaStor’s software also convinced Fasthosts with its minimal need for
technical support.

Safe, Encrypted and Fast Data Transfers

NovaBACKUP xSP encrypts customer data before transmission
and only decrypts the data when users restore it, allowing Fasthosts and its
customers to rest assured their data are always safe and secure. In addition, NovaStor’s technology for  fast data transfers via the Internet, as well as its user interface and  range of functions further support the quality of
Fasthosts’ data backup service.

NovaStor Powers Fasthosts Channel Distribution

Fasthosts also values doing business with a company that is understanding and dedicated to its reseller business model. By offering white labeling options and
providing an application that untrained users can handle, NovaStor
allows Fasthosts to implement an online backup service to support their
indirect business models within a short time. In addition, more than 6,000 Fasthosts’
resellers can offer Fasthosts’ online service with personal branding, including
customized logo integration and color schemes. As NovaStor’s solution is easy and reliable, resellers also take
pleasure in selling a service that needs little to no support calls.

"We needed a service that is very simple to use, and
works well. NovaBACKUP does that. From all the trials and competitor
analysis we did, NovaStor came out on top," said Stephen Holford,
Marketing Director of Fasthosts. "In addition to the software being great, NovaStor understood our
needs, and they worked really closely with us to help make sure we had a
product we could take to market for our direct customer base and our reseller
customers. They really pulled through
for us."

"NovaStor’s technology supports a wide range of
business models in managed services and cloud backup. Fasthosts’ decision for
NovaStor proves that our technology meets market requirements for direct and
indirect distribution models," comments Stefan Utzinger, CEO at NovaStor.
