StorageCraft Will Offer Cloud Services Later This Year

StorageCraft Technology Corporation, provider of backup, DR, system migration and data protection solutions for servers, desktops and laptops, will offer StorageCraft Cloud Services, a solution that offers offsite backup and failover in the cloud, later this year.

"StorageCraft solutions currently provide fast and reliable backup, file and folder recovery, onsite failover and virtualization. StorageCraft Cloud Services extends this same functionality into the cloud. In case of site failure, companies can have full access to their systems and data immediately to ensure maximum BC. This enables our channel partners to deliver a reliable, end-to-end solution to their customers," said Scott Barnes, CTO at StorageCraft.

Cloud Services will feature tiered options:

• Cloud Basic: archives critical business backup images
• Cloud+: Includes everything in Cloud Basic, plus immediate file and folder recovery.
• Cloud Premium: Includes everything in Cloud+, as well as instant virtualization of data and failover in the cloud.

StorageCraft uses only SSAE 16 Type II Compliant data centers that have redundant power and data supplies as well as engineering support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year.

Cloud Services will initially be offered to those enrolled in the StorageCraft Managed Service Provider Partner Program, and MSPs need pay for the storage they use, rounded up to the nearest gigabyte. Shortly after launch, VARs may purchase storage blocks through authorized distributors Lifeboat Distribution and Synnex. Pricing details will be available at the time of product availability.
