dinCloud Enters Cloud Storage With dinBackup

dinCloud, Inc., a cloud transformation company, announced the availability of dinBackup, a NetApp-based cloud storage service that offers second-site replication, redundancy, and overall DR capabilities for NetApp, Inc.‘s customers.

Part of dinCloud’s business provisioning, dinBackup makes implementing a DR solution for existing customers of Data ONTAP-based storage.
 
"Many customers face challenges deploying and managing secondary data centers to maintain continuous data access and recover business-critical applications," said Julie Parrish, SVP of Global Partner Sales, NetApp. "dinCloud Backup and Recovery integrated with NetApp storage, including SnapMirror and SnapVault, helps organizations maintain BC and reduce the complexity of operating secondary data centers."
 
"Traditional DR solutions that back up to a secondary data center carry significant infrastructure and management costs, something that many businesses, especially small to mid-sized business, cannot afford," said Ali Din, SVP of dinCloud.
 
dinBackup simplifies the replication and data protection of a user’s NetApp-based storage to the dinCloud NetApp-based infrastructure using familiar tools and processes.
 
Benefits of dinBackup include:

• Reduced costs – remove upfront capital expenditures while reducing operating costs by 20-50%
• Predictable subscription-based – flat rate pricing means no hidden or data transfer fees
• Business value – shortcut having replication up and running faster than it takes to order and configure equipment

"dinCloud offers a wealth of advanced capabilities for business provisioning in the cloud with the ease of use, scalability, affordability and security customers demand," said Joe Martins, MD of Data Mobility Group. "Its NetApp-based dinBackup service is a welcomed complement to its server and virtual desktop offerings, and a solution for cloud backup and recovery that existing NetApp customers cannot afford to overlook."
 
Kevin Schatzle, president of dinCloud, reiterated: "Customers choose dinCloud because we offer more than just cloud storage. By offering hosted desktops and servers, we offer business provisioning of a customer’s entire IT infrastructure. As a result, we don’t just bring your data back – we bring your business back."
 
As with all dinCloud services, dinBackup’s design and service is vetted by NetApp’s technical, sales, and marketing teams to provide a data protection architecture that follows best practices, is reliable, and scalable.
