Canadian Data Center Expands Market
Along with this release, the company announced it has invested in a
Canadian data center to ensure channel partners in Canada are able to
comply with the country’s federal and provincial regulations that
restrict how and where data is managed. It is located in Montreal,
Canada and in operation.

"With Intronis new Canadian data center and proven VMware
capabilities we gain a significant client services advantage and are
able to provide greater peace of mind by assuring our client s data
is stored in country and readily recoverable," says John
Atwood, system support specialist, MicroAge
IT Solutions in Alberta, Canada. "It‘s
definitely a big win for Intronis Canadian partners and will
certainly help us better address the needs of our clients working
within highly-regulated or data sensitive vertical markets such as
healthcare and government."

"The Canadian market is important to Intronis and in order to
help our Canadian channel partners capitalize on the demand for
cloud-based backup and recovery solutions, we needed to establish an
in-country presence," says Rob Merklinger, VP
sales, Intronis. "Our new Canadian data center addresses the
country s regulations and restrictions around data protection,
simplifies the sales discussion and positions Intronis to become the
cloud backup and recovery provider of choice for the Canadian IT
channel."

It also introduced a
partner trial offering for channel partners who want to test-drive
the BDR solution and partner enablement support with no risk, cost
and obligation.
