StorageCraft to Launch Next Gen Backup, DR Cloud in Australia

StorageCraft Technology Corp. will launch its next-generation purpose-built DR cloud in the first quarter of 2016 in Australia.

The StorageCraft Cloud Services allows users to customise cloud coverage to meet their recovery needs while enjoying access to systems and data anytime, anywhere with instant failover in a cloud built specifically for DR.

StorageCraft Cloud Services includes features such as an easy-to-use portal, and provides several flexible recovery options to mitigate system downtime and data loss. It also includes quick recovery through virtualised and networked systems in the cloud. In addition to the ability to recover data and IT systems quickly, StorageCraft Cloud Services will have a new pricing structure without hidden fees. Details of the new pricing model will be announced in early 2016.

“StorageCraft cloud Services gives IT professionals’ peace of mind because it allows them to securely store backup images offsite in the StorageCraft Cloud, and more importantly, cloud Services allows users to run networked systems fully in the cloud when local access to systems and data is unavailable,” said Stan Nelson, GM, StorageCraft’s Sydney-based operations.

StorageCraft Cloud Services,
built on technology from the StorageCraft ShadowProtect suite of software,
provides the following features to IT professionals:

• Instant virtualisation and networking of cloud-based backups.
• Granular file and folder access.
• Personal control of cloud backups for fast recoveries.
• Enterprise-grade security and encryption to ensure the most secure cloud hardware and software architecture possible.
• A self-service, cloud services portal, for simple and fast recovery of systems and data.
• 24/365 network operation center monitoring and support teams.
  

StorageCraft Cloud Services is available in flexible tiered options and service+ levels:

• Cloud Basic: Secure offsite storage of critical business backups with full system restore via a bare metal restore (BMR) drive.
• Cloud+: Includes everything in Cloud Basic, plus immediate file and folder recovery.
• Cloud Premium: Includes everything in Cloud+, as well as instant virtualisation of data and systems in the cloud.

Earlier this year, the company introduced StorageCraft ShadowProtect SPX for both Windows and Linux environments.
