eFolder Offers Backup and Disaster Recovery Rescue Program
For Zenith Infotech partners
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on November 23, 2011 at 3:29 pm
In the wake
of the recent bond default by BDR Zenith Infotech, eFolder, Inc. has introduced
its BDR
Rescue Program for concerned MSPs, solution providers, and VARs.
Thousands
of Zenith Infotech partners rely on the off-site backup services from Zenith to
backup client data to the cloud.
The eFolder BDR Rescue Program allows
Zenith Infotech partners to migrate their off-site client data to the eFolder
storage cloud without the need for a forklift upgrade of their existing
hardware appliances installed at client locations. eFolder is also easing the
financial burden of this data migration by offering savings on the
off-site storage costs, $0.15 per GB per month for as long as the legacy
Zenith Infotech appliances are backing up to the eFolder storage cloud.
"eFolder’s BDR Rescue Program is truly
unique," says Kevin Hoffman, CEO of eFolder. "With our open storage platform, eFolder is
singularly positioned to allow Zenith Infotech partners to migrate their
existing BDR data without the need to replace any on-site equipment or
software, while also providing them a proven hardware and software BDR turn-key
solution for new customers or existing customers who eventually replace their
aging on-site appliances. We understand partners are in a very tough position,
with managed service contracts that they are obligated to fulfill. Our BDR
Rescue Program is the most economical exit path for Zenith Infotech partners by
offering the lowest storage costs available for fully integrated ShadowProtect
aware cloud backups, and minimizing labor costs by not requiring partners to
rip and replace hardware or software."
The BDR
Rescue Program is also available to Datto partners that have Datto Viridian
appliances installed in the field. Interested MSPs, solution providers, and
VARs must sign up as an eFolder partner at the Gold level or above to qualify
for the program.
"I have been dissatisfied with my previous
BDR provider for quite some time," says Fred Reck, President, InnoTek Computer
Consulting, Inc. "After hearing
I could migrate my clients without having to purchase all new hardware
appliances, the decision was easy. With the eFolder BDR Rescue Program, I will
actually save money each month. I wish I had made this change sooner."
The eFolder
BDR Rescue Program is available now to qualified MSPs, solution providers, and
VARs.
The eFolder BDR Rescue Program includes:
- Data migration: allows partners to
point their existing Zenith Infotech and Datto Viridian BDR off-site backups to
the eFolder storage cloud. - No forklift upgrade: preserves a
partners previous investments and keep the existing BDR appliance and imaging
software in place. - Incredible savings: all data uploaded
to the eFolder storage cloud is priced at a flat $0.15/GB/month, no matter how
long the partner keeps the legacy BDR appliance in place.
