Afi Data Platform V.2.8 Data Protection Cloud Solution

Afi.ai, a provider of backup and DR for cloud applications, announced the Afi Data Platform 2.8 release of its data protection cloud solution that helps MSPs and enterprises orchestrate, replicate and migrate cloud data.

It delivers backup and recovery speed for Microsoft Office 365 backup and additional advancements in its anti-ransomware engine. It also enables the company’s MSP partners to use flexible white-labelling and branding options to improve their clients’ experience and provides API and reporting tools.

“MSPs and enterprise IT are looking for new tools to replace legacy systems that fail to provide adequate protection for new cloud data sources, such as K8s, Microsoft (Office) 365 and G Suite” said Vincent Marino, CPO. “Organizations need to be able to backup their cloud data using a modern cloud-ready system that fully supports new applications and overcomes performance limitations that are inevitable in the legacy backup systems. With Data Platform 2.8, we are introducing a significant performance boost and provide access to new tools to our MSP partners.”

The released API and reporting capabilities will enable the firm’s partners and customers to integrate the platform with their existing systems and further automate K8s, Office 365 and G Suite backup. The company also features pre-built integrations with major remote management and monitoring providers, including Kaseya Ltd. and Connectwise, Inc., as well as cloud access control systems (Okta, Azure Active Directory).
