Zenith Infotech Backup and DR Line Offered Through DraaS Model

Zenith
Infotech Ltd. has updated its backup and DR line.

The BDR-G14,
offered through a DRaaS model utilizes StorageCraft
ShadowProtect 5.x that supports Windows Server 2012, onsite
storage capacities, and offsite replication with expandable shared
storage. With automated 15-minute snapshots, offsite replication,
file recovery, emergency server virtualization and live bare metal
restores, It’s a BC solution for SMB clients.

"Service providers are
constantly evaluating the advantages and challenges of onsite devices
vs cloud services, particularly in backup and DR," says
Zenith CEO Akash Saraf. "Zenith DRaaS provides a hybrid
approach. But, where we’re really changing the game is with the cloud
portion. We charge one price for an offsite vault with expandable
shared storage to dramatically lower a partner’s costs. The era of
per-GB pricing is at an end at Zenith."

This DRaaS approach provides onsite
devices at low monthly rates. Then, partners rent a BDR-G14 Vault in
Zenith’s datacenter for replication of up to 25 local appliances. The
Vault has a set monthly price that doesn’t increase as more local
BDR-G14 appliances are replicated to it. That means that MSPs pay the
same rate whether they’re storing 2TB or 225TB in the cloud.

"Offsite storage rates seem low
on paper. But, as GBs turn into TBs, the cost snowballs. With stable
Vault pricing, our partners can increase their revenues without
increasing their expenses," Saraf explains.

It is tailored for MSPs providing DR,
according to discussions with partners.

"We’ve had partners ask, ‘So
there’s no additional cost as I expand my offsite storage? What am I
missing?’ I’m thrilled to tell them they aren’t missing a thing –
we’ve taken the pain out of cloud storage."
