Intronis Updates its Cloud Backup Solution: Fall Release ’12

Intronis, Inc. announced the availability of its Fall Release ’12, its cloud backup and recovery solution for the IT channel.

Interoperable with  vSphere, the solution enables partners to make system-image backups within their backup and recovery solution, lowering their Manhours per GB. The VM functionality also allows partners to streamline backups of multiple VMware VMs across several servers to the cloud, a local vault or both. All backups are encrypted and restoration of data is completed from the cloud through the centralized Intronis Partner Portal.

Leveraging the vSphere Web Services API, the solution offers dedup at the device level for speedier backups and features wizards already available to partners for other data backups including files/folders, Exchange Information Store, Exchange mailbox, SQL, and System State. Other enhancements include improving the efficiencies of the Intronis Partner Portal such as advancements to the backup status dashboard, file scanning and more.

"Our Fall Release continues to support Intronis’ value proposition of making it easier, more reliable and less time intensive for our MSP partners to manage their Intronis backup solution," said Carol Ferrari, VP of marketing and community for Intronis. "Having the ability to support VMware vSphere environments via system image-based backups, along with all other backup types, and store them to the cloud or a local device from one centralized web-based portal is a functionality our partners have been asking for, and we’re pleased to deliver. Our Fall Release will help Intronis partners streamline the day-to-day management of their backup business, reducing their Manhours Per GB, improving profit margins, and expanding their cloud-based managed service capabilities."

"Backup and recovery is an essential solution within our managed IT services portfolio that helps us to deliver notable business value and greater peace of mind to our customers," says Intronis partner MJ Shoer, president and virtual CTO, Jenaly Technology Group, Inc. "The addition of VMware vSphere support in Intronis’ new Fall Release is a big win for channel partners and certainly makes it easier and more efficient for us to remotely manage backups for both virtual and blended IT infrastructures. The ease of use and reliability within the new release is second to none, which is why we’ve standardized on Intronis for all our customers’ backup and recovery needs."
