Both solutions support multi-cloud environments with enhanced security features to give customers improved flexibility, performance, economics, and assuredness from their cloud and hybrid backup protection and recovery investments.

As SMBs increasingly embrace multi-cloud strategies and adopt different cloud providers according to price-performance for specific workloads, a single, centrally managed data protection environment that is to manage and simplifies workflow is vital. Simultaneously, the constant threat from cyber-attacks requires companies to ensure they can recover applications and data quickly if and when disaster strikes.

To address these needs, the company has enhanced ShadowXafe and OneXafe Solo to provide a one-stop backup and recovery solution that can handle all the complexity of major and multi-cloud environments through a single management console.

Choice, flexibility, and scale: ShadowXafe and OneXafe Solo now allow the company’s partners and customers to leverage multiple cloud storage providers for backup and replication. Both solutions provide the option to backup and support native replication into third-party clouds, including GCP, AWS, Azure Blob Storage, and Wasabi. As announced on May 11, 2021, both ShadowXafe and OneXafe Solo support DRaaS natively on GCP.

Improved cloud-based central management: They support a consolidated public cloud-hosted web console that relies on secure protocols, enabling complete management and monitoring of all data protection to ensure data is available from anywhere, anytime, and highly secure.

Security: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is now integrated into the the company’s OneSystem, a cloud-based management platform for ShadowXafe and OneXafe Solo. It provides an extra layer of security to help safeguard customer data for organizations of all sizes, regardless of complexity or location.

Shridar Subramanian, CMO, Arcserve, said: “The flexibility that ShadowXafe and OneXafe Solo now bring to hybrid and multi-cloud data environments creates unprecedented flexibility, scale, and economic advantage. Offering customers the ability to use and choose between existing cloud storage providers to backup, recover or replicate is game-changing.“

Michael Welts, CMO, Wasabi Technologies, Inc., said: “The trend of companies moving data to the cloud has gone into overdrive as a result of the pandemic and shift to working from home. Combining the predictability and economics of Wasabi hot cloud storage with the simple yet powerful assurance of StorageCraft backup and instant recovery creates a compelling offering for channel partners focused on the SMB market.“
