For organizations that leverage AWS for storage, EBS snapshots are necessary to protect data stored in VMs and for strategic VM management and control. The AWS Snapshot Manager is free of cost and offers MSPs the opportunity to expand their total addressable market with high-value services that simplify and automate common snapshot management tasks. MSPs can publish their co-branded AWS Snapshot Manager services in the AWS Marketplace to reach new customers and extend new services to existing clients.

  • Simple management. The software enables users to quickly and easily create, restore, copy, delete, migrate between regions, start, stop, launch, or delete snapshots on the fly in AWS through easy-to-set automated rules.

  • Eliminates manual processes. Automated snapshot management eliminates writing complex, manual backup scripts to perform snapshots.

  • Scheduling. It allows users to run scheduled or manual snapshots any time of the day, week, or month, and easily program other VM snapshot functions on AWS.

  • Single interface. It enables users to create, view and manage multiple VM snapshots within a single, user-friendly interface.

  • Saves time and money. Automation streamlines the snapshot process, saving time, freeing development resources to focus on other business priorities, and empowering organizations to optimize their data protection strategy while minimizing their overall AWS EC2 costs.
