Datto Expands Canada Program
To MSPs, VARs and IT service providers
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on November 2, 2012 at 2:53 pmDatto Inc., provider of
hardware based on-site and off-site backup and DR solutions, is selling its solutions to MSPs, VARs and IT service providers in
Canada.
"Previously, we were selling to Canadian customers through a distributor," explains Najaf Raza, Datto’s director of international operations.
"We realized that Datto would be able to
provide better support and services if we sold directly to Canadian MSPs and
VARs. We have been actively working to develop and implement a new Canadian
program, so I am excited to finally get the word out."
Canadian-based partners will still utilize Datto’s U.S. based technical support
center, and support hours will match those of US partners.
Datto will provide Canadian-based partners with the same services as
US- based partners, but is introducing access to Peer 1, a data center in
Toronto. Peer 1 is SSAE 16 Type II certified, CSAE 3416 compliant and meets all
the standard security requirements of Datto’s U.S. based data centers.
"By forging a relationship
with Peer 1, we are giving Canadian partners direct access to a secure,
first-class data center that’s located in Canada,"
said Raza. "We are extremely pleased with the Peer 1 partnership and believe it
will be a great asset for Canadian partners."
