This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on June 5, 2025 at 2:01 pmElastio announced a strategic partnership with Advance2000 (A2K), a premier provider of private cloud infrastructure and managed IT services.
This collaboration introduces the Advance2000 Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform, a solution powered by the Elastio Platform and integrated with Veeam in A2K’s secure cloud environment.
Designed to enhance business continuity and cyber resilience, this platform empowers A2K customers to detect ransomware encryption and data corruption in backup data. By combining Elastio’s intelligent scanning capabilities with A2K’s high-performance private cloud, clients gain confidence that their restore points are clean, validated, and safe.
“Advance2000 has built a trusted reputation as a secure cloud provider for industries where uptime, compliance, and data protection are paramount,” said Christopher Sauer, global VP, strategic alliances, Elastio. “By integrating Elastio into their Veeam-based backup service, A2K is delivering a critical layer of ransomware recovery assurance – giving customers confidence that they can bounce back from ransomware events cleanly, quickly, and securely with uncompromised data.”
Closing the Gaps in Traditional Backup and Recovery
Ransomware continues to evolve – modern tactics often infiltrate quietly, encrypting data slowly over weeks or months to evade detection and ensure compromised files get backed up. When organizations try to recover, they risk restoring tainted data, leaving them uncertain, scrambling to find a clean backup, and more vulnerable to ransom demands.
Advance2000 Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform addresses this risk head-on with advanced features including:
- Automated Scanning – Veeam backups are scanned automatically, based on customizable policies.
- Expert Ransomware Detection: Elastio’s ML engine identifies ransomware-driven data compromise with 99.999% accuracy
- Retroactive Scanning – Previously unscanned or archived backups can be scanned on demand to validate recovery points before restoration.
“Today’s cyber threats require more than just backups — they demand assurance,” said Brian Maouad, CEO, Advance2000. “Our partnership with Elastio reinforces our commitment to providing resilient, secure, and high-performing private cloud solutions. The Advance2000 Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform enables us to protect our clients from the growing ransomware threat and deliver recovery outcomes they can trust.”
This partnership underscores a shared mission to redefine how organizations approach ransomware recovery. By uniting A2K’s vertically integrated private cloud infrastructure with Elastio’s recovery assurance platform, customers can reduce recovery times, safeguard compliance, and achieve greater cyber resilience.
