SHI International Chooses iomartcloud Powered by Avamar

SHI International Corporation, one of North
America’s top 20 IT solutions providers, has chosen iomartcloud‘s enterprise
cloud platform, to deliver reliable and flexible backup solutions for its
customers in the US.

SHI selected iomartcloud’s platform because it delivers scalable and secure, enterprise-grade backup and recovery through a more
user-friendly interface. The partnership was announced at EMC World in Las
Vegas, NE.

SHI and iomart will work together to provide cloud Backup as a Service (BaaS)
to businesses and organizations across the US. BaaS is a software and hardware backup and recovery solution that is delivered
as a self or managed service. Coud Backup from iomartcloud adds
next-generation intelligent backup and recovery to protect organizations’
critical data in a simple, unified solution. Through this BaaS system, IT
departments gain an enterprise managed service
for both physical and virtual environments.

"Big data offers organizations
valuable insights into their business, but more companies need a simple way to
store and secure their data assets," said Richard Place, GM, cloud services at SHI. "SHI
sought out iomart based on its extensive experience in the European market with
BaaS and DR offerings based on EMC Avamar technologies. Our
customers can now take advantage of iomartcloud’s advanced customer interface,
which offers a more user-friendly and efficient experience when executing
simple or even advanced backup and recovery tasks."

SHI is a $4.45 billion global provider of information technology
products and services based in Somerset, NJ. iomartcloud
supplies business-critical hosted cloud services through a
network of partners and is part of iomart Group plc, an UK cloud computing company.

"This
partnership will extend to SHI customers a secure and scalable backup,"
said Bill Strain, director of iomartcloud. "With our white-labeled product, powered by storage leader EMC’s
technology, SHI can now provide customers with a full range of on- and
off-premises backup solutions that ensure efficient and reliable storage and
recovery for customers."
