VTL Solution Honeycomb Secure Archival Storage From Probax With Veeam Backup and Replication for MSPs

Probax Pty Ltd. launches its VTL solution – Honeycomb.

As more businesses are turning to cloud-based solutions, Honeycomb delivers resilient, air-gapped and  available storage for Veeam, built for 25+ years retention – at a low price point.

“Veeam has a very large customer footprint in ANZ, ranging from SMB businesses to large Enterprises across a wide range of verticals. All customers are in the process of exploring cloud based BaaS solutions in order to ensure there is at least one air gapped copy which is offsite,” said Asanga Wanigatunga, senior director, cloud and Service roviders, APJ, Veeam Software, Inc.

“Probax’s offering and go-to market model now enables the rich partner ecosystem at Veeam, whom service these markets, to leverage this white label service, delivering a more complete Hyper-Availability solution that will safeguard their business for today’s digital world,” explains Sam Meegahage, CEO, Probax, “As more businesses start to recognise the risks and inefficiencies of managing physical tape hardware and media, they are turning to low-cost, cloud-based solutions. However, the current solutions available to the market have very complex pricing models which makes understanding the true cost quite difficult for MSPs and their clients. We were adamant that we wanted to offer our clients a simple and predictable pricing model – a flat rate per gigabyte with no hidden data transfer or retrieval fees. I’m excited about the new opportunities that Honeycomb VTL offers our clients.”

The Honeycomb VTL provides an integration with Veeam Backup and Replication for MSPs and system integrators looking to manage secure long-term storage of their backups.

This launch is just the first announcement in 2018 from Probax. Setting out to address the challenges MSPs and system integrators face delivering secure long-term storage as a service.

The company has continued its upwards trajectory off the back of their launch in the UK and the arrival of their new CEO in 2017.

The firm’s Honeycomb is available for all Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Black partners.
