Backup Cloud Canada Launched

Backup Cloud Canada has launched a wholesale and white label offsite backup and data storage aimed at IT shops, MSPs, software vendors, EMR/EHR, and ISPs across Canada, giving them the ability to resell the service as their own.

It gives professionals a Canadian solution and give them a head start on controversial future law changes.

"The Canadian data laws (PIPEDA) are always changing. The trends we observe show us that there is a high probability that eventually all Canadian medical, financial, and personal data will be required to stay in Canada, and to not be stored in foreign data centers where the data falls into the foreign government’s jurisdiction," says Jesse Locke, president of Backup Cloud Canada. "It has been very important to us from the beginning to be able to offer the market a truly Canadian alternative, we’re happy to announce that all of our customers data is 100% stored in Canada."

IDC Corp. released a study, titled Online Backup Services Forecast 2007-2011: A New Market Emerges, which predicts the market will reach $715 million by 2011, and $50 billion by 2014.

"We are poised for growth and ready for whatever the future might bring. It’s an amazing time to be a technology company in Canada; we have some very bright minds here and it’s very exciting to see what will happen next."
