Today we launched a breakthrough channel program that gives Value Added Resellers (VARs) the ability to offer their own Cloud backup and recovery service that is both powered AND protected by EVault. The EVault® Cloud-Connected Service Provider (CCSP) program is a unique channel offering that packages EVault technology and best practices to help participating VARs quickly build a profitable, multi-tenant cloud-based data protection service-backed by i365 expertise, EVault technology, and the EVault Cloud. In fact, EVault CCSP pilot partners in North America and Europe were already generating recurring revenue streams within 2-4 weeks of getting started in the program.
The program alleviates the biggest challenges the channel faces, when either trying to improve an existing Cloud backup offering or extending their business into the Cloud for the first time, by eliminating the high costs, high risks, and long learning curves associated with developing a hosting infrastructure and recurring revenue stream business model. EVault CCSP partners receive comprehensive training, enablement and support to build, market, sell and operate a Cloud backup business, leveraging i365’s 13 years of experience delivering professional-grade Cloud-Connected data protection to small and mid-size businesses.
EVault CCSP pilot partner Jean-Christophe Pari, director of technology at NOEVA said:
“Evault CCSP brings mid-size IT services companies turnkey features to develop a credible Cloud offering for clients; it has proven technology, complete and reliable software agents and best of class compression and deduplication algorithms, as well as an innovative and an evolutionary licensing model. Based on this program, NOEVA has quickly built and marketed a very strong, online back-up Cloud offering.”
The EVault CCSP program’s all-in-one online backup and recovery appliance bundles pre-configured hardware, storage, EVault Software, and unlimited agents and plug-ins, optimized for a hosted service environment, accelerating a partner’s time to market and bringing the Cloud closer to the customer. In addition, customers’ backup data can be replicated to the EVault Cloud, giving CCSP partners and their customers a multi-site disaster recovery plan for their data.
