ExaGrid Selects ATScloud

ATScloud (ATS National, Inc.), provider of hybrid cloud services, has been selected by ExaGrid Systems,
Inc., in scalable disk-based back-up solutions
with data deduplication, as its strategic partner in delivering cloud-based DR
as a Service (DRaaS).

This partnership offers ExaGrid and ATScloud customers
throughout the US a secure-BDRcloud solution. New and existing ExaGrid
customers now have the option to replicate their backup data to ATScloud,
reducing or eliminating the need to vault tapes off-site for disaster
protection.

This new collaboration, leveraging
respective strengths and engineering expertise from both organizations, is a fit with market needs and is expected to spark attention from
ATScloud’s MSP partners and ExaGrid’s VARs due to the growing market demand for
a scalable, secure cloud-based Backup and DR (BDR) solution. This breakthrough
solution and partnership extends the ExaGrid disk-based deduplication
capabilities to the cloud, providing distinctive benefits including:

• Options for DR audit and rapid recovery of backup data in the event of
  a disaster,
• Flexibility to pay for only what is used, avoiding the need to overbuy
  capacity,
• Ability to add or remove capacity quickly as needs dictate, and
• No up-front capital costs for off-site storage of backup data for DR.

"Our
announcement with industry leader ExaGrid is another solid step in our journey
to build on our secure hybrid-cloud infrastructure and become a leader in the
BDRcloud era," said Steve Willard, ATScloud EVP business development.
"This partnership will help us
strengthen and anchor our BDRcloud solution for our dedicated MSP partners.
ExaGrid is the perfect partner to help us fully realize and service the
BDRcloud opportunities in the short and long term."

Housed in a tier 4 data center, the
secure BDRcloud solution provides customers: 1/ reducing the requirement for off-site storage of backup tapes, 2/
creating new deployment options for off-site, disk-based storage of backups.

Marc Crespi, ExaGrid VP, said: "The relationship with ATScloud represents a
powerful opportunity for ExaGrid to expand its presence throughout the US, and extend it to other parts of the world over time. ATScloud has
clearly demonstrated its ability to apply its considerable resources and
expertise to not only enter the DRasS market, but to lead in it. We’re excited
to partner with ATScloud as we focus our combined energies serving a broader
range of customers with industry-leading backup and recovery solutions."
