i365 Adds Five Partners in AsiaPac

i365 Inc., a Seagate company, announced that five new
partners in the Asia Pacific region (APAC) are promoting EVault Cloud-Connected
storage services to their customers.

These new partners include:

• VIVAVO in Hong Kong;
• Netmagic Solutions Pvt. Ltd in Mumbai, India;
• Imagine IT Solutions LLC and Jasco Pty Ltd. in Sydney and Melbourne,
  Australia (respectively); and
• Redynamics
  Asia Sdn Bhd in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Singapore.

According to industry analyst
firm IDC, the APAC market for cloud computing
services will grow by an average of 40 percent each year through 2014 when it
reaches US$4.9 billion.

"Businesses in APAC are experiencing
great growth, and with that comes the need to protect their growing data stores
– executives are well aware they cannot wait until a disaster before they lock
down their backup and recovery processes," said Terry Cunningham,
president and general manager at i365. "Over 32,000 SMB, SME, and remote office customers have trusted EVault
professional-grade data protection since 1997. We are proud to be partnering
with these visionary service providers who agree that Cloud-Connected backup is
the best choice for customers, and share our focus on being ultra-reliable,
proactive, and passionate about customer success."

i365 provides EVault cloud, and Cloud-Connected ‘hybrid’
data protection solutions to help small to mid-size organisations protect and
access their business data. i365 offers hybrid
storage models, with an
integrated ecosystem of EVault storage software, SaaS, managed services, and
appliances that helps ensure customers maintain business continuity in
multi-platform, multi-site environments. EVault data protection, disaster
recovery and other storage services are optimised to perform in a distributed
environment; supported by a secure, reliable cloud storage infrastructure; and
backed by quality customer service.

"We specialize in implementing
the right solutions for our enterprise customers and we realized there was a
gap in our backup solutions portfolio," said Raymond Chou, director,
Redynamics. "When we looked at the
EVault solution, it was simply a no brainer. It addressed the gaps in our
solution offerings, it completed the story for our customers and, importantly,
the solution is easy to implement, support, and manage."

Jason McClintock, chairman and CEO of Jasco, said: "Jasco’s philosophy centres on using better technologies to make it
easier for our customers to do business. Cloud solutions are a key element of
this strategy, which is why we have partnered with i365. Evault Cloud-Connected
storage services build on Jasco’s OneNimbus cloud solutions portfolio, adding
to Jasco’s existing e-fort managed backup service. We can now provide our
customers with a much more comprehensive cloud offering, via on-premise-based
solutions as well as private and public cloud capabilities. We look forward to
working with i365 and showing our customers in Australia the benefits of EVault
Cloud-Connected storage services."

"Netmagic’s
philosophy has always been to build services around cutting-edge technology in
the Managed Hosting space," said Nitin Mishra, VP – product management
and solution engineering, Netmagic Solutions. "i365’s data vaulting products and services allow us to have a clear
technology edge in data backup and storage compared to our competitors.
Maintaining integrity of our customer’s data is integral to our business
success, and EVault technology enables us to offer state-of-the-art data
vaulting and backup services that set new benchmarks in reliability and
performance."

"2011 has seen cloud computing come
of age in the Australian marketplace," said Phil Caruso, CEO of
Imagine IT Solutions. "Many
organisations are looking to deploy at least some of their computing via the
cloud. There is one missing piece of the cloud puzzle… The realisation that
tape solutions can’t back up and restore cloud-based data. The good news is we
do have the missing piece, EVault. Problem solved."

"EVault will be a perfect match
with our state-of-the-art hybrid cloud infrastructures hosted in regional-wide
SAS 70 Type II Data Centres covering Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and other Asian
cities. Most of our customers are becoming aware of the importance of business
continuity while minimizing their initial capital investment. No doubt,
EVault’s ‘pay-as-you-go’ model is the ultimate solution our customers ever look
for," said Francis Au, CEO of VIVAVO.
