Infinity Network Solutions of Canada Chooses Nakivo

Nakivo Inc., a provider of virtualization data protection software, announced that Infinity Network Solutions, a cloud and managed services provider in Canada, has chosen its Backup & Replication to introduce cloud-based backup and DR services for VMware environments.

Business interruption and data loss are two events that can cripple an organization, resulting in the loss of revenue, reputation, customers, and sometimes even bankruptcy. Ensuring that the organization can continue to operate even after a natural disaster or major infrastructure failure are some of the key challenges that IT managers are facing today.

On-site backups do not help to protect against natural disasters or major infrastructure failures, while offsite backup and replication are CAPEX intensive and require businesses to keep and maintain a dedicated DR infrastructure in a cold state. To protect against data loss and ensure BC while keeping the costs low, businesses are seeking cloud data protection services for their IT environments. Given that most organizations have already virtualized their business-critical workloads, the ability to backup and recover VMware VMs in a cloud is a must.

According to MarketsandMarkets, the DR-as-a-Service and BC market is estimated by to grow from $640.8 million in 2013 to $5.77 billion by 2018. This represents a CAGR of 55.2% from 2013 to 2018.
