Infrascale Backup and DR Launches 5 Appliance Options for SMB and Mid-Market Customers

Building on its recently launched Infrascale Backup and DR (IBDR) solution, Infrascale Inc. announced the availability of five IBDR appliance models for MSPs and VARs servicing SMB and mid-market companies.

IBDR is a DR as a Service (DRaaS) hybrid cloud solution that prevents data loss and provides recovery from crashes, ransomware/malware, natural disaster, human error, and all other forms of business disruption. With this new scale, the company continues to show its commitment to eliminating downtime and data loss with appliances that provide  scalability and performance.

Refreshed appliances for SMBs, more storage to accommodate end user sweet spot
As growth-minded extensions of current models, the firm offers 2 on-premises appliances. The IBDR 970/4TB desktop and IBDR 1270/4TB 1U rack-mount models provide increased storage for customers seeking to protect data in the sweet spot for SMBs – roughly 1TB – and to accommodate longer retention spans on the local appliance. In conjunction with the existing IBDR 970/2TB and IBDR 1270/2TB appliances, these new offers provide flexible and economical options for customers with small data sets, typical of SMB.

Robust mid-market appliance models – High-capacity SSD storage with double boot capability
Due to the popularity of the recently launched IBDR appliances featuring SSDs, the company is introducing IBDR appliances for mid-market customers seeking higher volumes of SSD storage to protect their data.

The IBDR 1880 appliance comes in 3 versions: 30, 45, and 60TB SSD. As with previously-announced SSD-based appliances, the 1880 models are capable of higher IO/s that, in turn, yield better performance for booted VMs. Additionally, with double the compute and RAM onboard, the 1880 boasts more than double the boot capacity of the 1780.

As with all IBDR solutions, customers may mix-and-match any of these appliances to tailor an IBDR solution according to their specific needs – achieving the right balance of scale/performance/cost. The smallest SMBs through the largest mid-market customers can find a perfect combination and achieve the greatest flexibility when solving for their DR needs.

“In our ongoing quest to eliminate downtime and data loss, we’ve expanded the Infrascale lineup to address a key need of mid-market customers – protecting data and data operations at greater scale – more storage and more VMs. The new 1880s offer up to 60TB of performant SSD storage and serious power (compute and RAM) to boot more VMs than we’ve ever been able to boot before” says Brian Kuhn, COO, Infrascale.
