Canadian SherWeb Updating Online Backup Solution for Servers and Workstations

Cloud services provider SherWeb Inc. launched an upgrade to its online backup solution that backups workstations and servers interruption-free, guaranteeing data recovery and BC in the event of loss, theft or disaster.

The company says it has enhanced its cloud backup solution, formerly known as SkyNox, to continue addressing the growing data security concerns of its channel partners and their end users operating in an increasingly mobile and global workplace.

“With the total volume of data in the world doubling every two years, and the rising costs associated with data loss, it’s no surprise that 68% of IT professionals claim data loss is their chief concern,” says Rima Hatoum, product marketing manager, SherWeb. “However, few cloud backup solutions offer a rich feature set combined with performance and scalability. We wanted a solution that included all three so that partners and customers could benefit from faster, interruption-free backups and a better user experience.“

The solution features bandwidth throttling, datacenter seeding and granular reporting for both workstation and server backups. SherWeb says channel partners will also soon be able to white-label and brand the solution as their own, either as a standalone product or bundled with the company’s other cloud services, which include hosted Exchange, hosted SharePoint and hosted Lync and high-performance cloud servers.

“Our ultimate goal is to make it easier for businesses to work smarter in the cloud,” says Mathieu Leblanc, director of sales and strategic partners, SherWeb. “Channel partners and customers can easily set up and manage our Online Backup solution directly from the same control panel used for our other cloud services, thereby easing their day-to-day management. It’s all about getting more done in less time-and with less worry.“

Since 1998, SherWeb has been helping businesses increase agility and trim IT overhead with cloud services. Today, more than 25,000 customers in over 100 countries are working more productively thanks to the added value built into a range of SaaS, IaaS and PaaS solutions. It also has a growing network of 4,000 partners who resell its customizable cloud services in over 50 countries.
