“The SMB and Partner networks have identified a significant demand for this product in today’s marketplace. Data Deposit Box can service this need based on our 14 year history and based on the maturity of our cloud solutions; something that is unique to our products and services. Partners can now have unmatched choice, flexibility and features at a price much lower than our nearest competitor,” said Troy Cheeseman, president and COO, Data Deposit Box. “Partners can now service the SOHO, micro SMB, the SMB and the SME with one provider, one solution; Data Deposit Box. This will eliminate the need to have 2 or even 3 different providers when offering a complete cloud disaster readiness and backup and recovery solution.“

Chesseman further states: “Based on the fact that DDB has developed our products in house, our ability to add features to our solutions and Smart Storage devices will be unmatched by anyone in the industry. Most of the solutions on the market today are pieced together with licensed solutions from other providers making the product expensive for the SMB. Product support also suffers as diagnosing issues could be spread across 2 or 3 different companies. To date, everything released by DDB is written and directly supported by DDB. We are very proud to offer that service to our partners and clients.“
