AvePoint and IT Cloud Solutions Partner

AvePoint, Inc. and IT Cloud Solutions, LLC (ITCloud.ca) announced a partnership to provide Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 backup solutions to help Canadian MSPs protect their clients’ data.

This partnership designates ITCloud.ca as a distributor of AvePoint’s Cloud Backup, a complete cloud-to-cloud backup solution. MSPs in Canada are able to purchase AvePoint cloud backup for Microsoft 365 and CRM systems, including Dynamics 365, through ITCloud.ca.

MSPs working with IT Cloud Solutions will receive customer service, technical support, individualized marketing activities and sales support.

“ITCloud.ca is continuously recognized as a top distributor for productivity and BC solutions in Canada. AvePoint Cloud Backup will allow our MSP partners to grow their business by giving them access to the most comprehensive backup solution available,” said David Latulippe, EVP, ITCloud.ca. “Offering clients the ability to backup advanced workloads like Microsoft Teams up to four times a day and restore at the granular level is a real competitive advantage.“

Suzanne Gagliese, VP, one commercial partner, Microsoft Canada said: “We are pleased to work with partners like AvePoint and ITCloud.ca who benefit from Microsoft technology to unlock new opportunities for customers across Canada. This is an example of the strength of the Microsoft ecosystem, with these two partners coming together to deliver value for MSPs and their small business clients.“

The increase of remote work combined with increasing threats to data safety means businesses can no longer risk exposing themselves to data loss events such as ransomware, phishing attacks, rogue employee theft, or accidental deletion.

“It’s critical now, more than ever, for us to transition, and make our clients feel confident in that transition, to the cloud,” said Annick St-Pierre, CEO, Télénet Communications, Inc. “Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 from ITCloud, powered by AvePoint, helps us do just that. We have the tools at hand to automatically protect and easily restore customer data, to minimize data loss and RTOs.“

AvePoint cloud backup will help ITCloud.ca provide a complete data protection solution to their partners that meet key industry standards, and also provide the flexibility clients need to protect their data, such as security information event management (SIEM), role-based access control (RBAC), and control over encryption keys.

“AvePoint wants to empower MSPs to better protect and manage their clients’ data. We enable data sovereignty so Canadian data is kept in Canada,” said Scott Sacket, SVP of business development and channel, AvePoint. “This partnership ensures even more MSPs can have the most robust and complete tool-sets to deliver the best data protection services for their Microsoft cloud clients.“

Partners can extend their Microsoft cloud services to include AvePoint’s backup-as-a-service as part of ITCloud.ca’ BC solutions. ITCloud.ca’ partners can expand their data protection offerings with valuable, differentiated services for their clients, in any stage of the cloud adoption lifecycle.
