Axcient x360Recover Direct-to-Cloud for Microsoft Azure Backup and DR Solution

Axcient announced x360Recover Direct-to-Cloud for Microsoft Azure, a backup and DR (BCDR) solution that protects MSPs and their clients’ data in the Azure public cloud vs. the threats of ransomware, security breaches, accidental deletion, and cloud outages.

x360Recover Direct-to-Cloud for Microsoft Azure leverages the x360 platform for security and ease of management and solves a challenge for MSPs-ensuring protection and recoverability of data in the public cloud. With x360Recover, MSPs get a solution for data protection that frees them from the risks of relying solely on Microsoft backup, along with low management overhead and simplified pricing to ensure profitability.

“MSPs have great growth opportunities with public cloud-based services, but threats like ransomware put the security and profitability of this business at risk,” said Ben Nowacky, SVP, product,. “With x360Recover Direct-to-Cloud for Azure, Axcient provides comprehensive third-party protection and rapid recovery, exceptional ease of use and simplified pricing that enables healthy margins-all on a single platform that supports both on-premises and public cloud workloads.“

More SMBs and MSPs are choosing to host their infrastructure and applications in the public cloud to reduce costs and complexity. A large percentage of channel partners are choosing Azure as the foundation for their digital transformation. While Microsoft is responsible for the security of the network and data centers, MSPs are responsible for protecting applications, data, and endpoints within Azure, requiring BC solutions to protect their clients’ workloads. Azure backup solutions-where data, workloads, and backup are within the same private cloud-run the risk of being ineffective in the case of cloud outages.

x360Recover Direct-to-Cloud for Azure virtualizes Azure backups, leveraging the automation of the company’s Virtual Office and customizable Runbooks for ease of use. The solution unifies client protection across on-premises and Azure workloads, it provides a flat per-device fee that includes unlimited storage and retention, and offers a third-party cloud where DR testing and live VMs can be virtualized in minutes with near-instant RTO for DR.
