CoreVault Designated as Asigra 3D Hybrid Partner for Cloud Backup Vault Ownership Without Building, Operating and Supporting Infrastructure
CoreVault Maintains Backup Service Infrastructure and Provides Operational Expertise to Channel Providers Seeking Greater Customer and Revenue Control
Woodland Hills, CA, April 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Asigra Inc., a leading Cloud Backup™ and recovery software provider since 1986, today announced that it has designated CoreVault as a 3D Hybrid Partner. Status as a 3D Hybrid Partner is the highest partner designation Asigra provides, reflecting CoreVault’s skills, business ethics and deep Asigra expertise. As a result of this enhanced partner status, new backup service provider entrants can purchase a vault license through Asigra and work with CoreVault to host and manage their backup vault. Service providers that leverage Asigra 3D Hybrid Partners maintain complete control of their own backup vaults in order to preserve the customer relationship, ensure operational flexibility and significantly improve operating margins.
Cloud computing is changing the way technology is adopted and managed by end user organizations, transforming the playing field for channel providers serving these customers. These end-user organizations are demanding more operationally efficient technologies that are delivered in the right format for their business, along with specialized services from a reliable vendor and ecosystem with flexible deployment options. CoreVault’s status as an Asigra 3D Hybrid Partner supports the channel in addressing these demands by providing the infrastructure and expertise for increasing the profitability of cloud backup service delivery. Partnering with an Asigra 3D Hybrid Partner lowers the barriers of entry for IT service providers wishing to provide business-class cloud backup leveraging their own vault licenses, but without the requirement to build, operate and support the underlying infrastructure.
“The Asigra 3D Hybrid Partner program allows channel providers without an on-premise backup vault to host cloud backup services through a proven provider like CoreVault,” said Eric Strong, vice president of North American Sales for Asigra. “It maximizes revenue opportunities throughout the Asigra ecosystem of hundreds of global partners by providing the highest level of flexibility in product and service delivery, bringing immediate revenue and capturing a greater share of opportunities in the growing cloud backup market.”
Asigra’s multi-dimensional approach to serving its partners better suits the real world in which the Asigra partner ecosystem operates, providing better alignment with customer demands from a product, service and overall business perspective. It allows new cloud backup service providers to focus and manage their customer relationships, and extracts maximum margins for these partners who own their own vault licenses. The Asigra partner model is a first in the industry and allows the company to scale delivery of its technology from the smallest VAR to the largest MSP.
As a 3D Hybrid Partner, CoreVault now offers channel partners who purchase their vault license from Asigra with:
Highly competitive cloud backup vault hosting, operations, and support options;
Vault replication for Asigra partners without a secondary failover site;
Vault management, Tier I & II 24/7 support desk and pre-sales support, and
·SAS 70 Type II certified technology and services ensuring a safe and secure environment for customer data.
“As a 3D Hybrid Partner, CoreVault provides affordable access to the leading cloud backup platform on the market, helping partners of Asigra capitalize on the shift toward cloud computing,” said Jeff Cato, VP Marketing for CoreVault. “This is a win across the board that provides us with an additional profit center that supports future growth for Asigra and its partner ecosystem.”
One service provider currently leveraging CoreVault's Asigra-powered datacenter/backup vault service is the Communication Data Group (CDG), a leading telecommunications solutions source. According to David Cearlock, IT Manager at CDG, “Asigra has significantly lowered the barriers of entry into cloud backup by eliminating the need to self-host and manage a backup vault. As a result, we are able to own our vault license, maintain complete control over our customers, and provide very secure and competitive services to significantly enhance our service portfolio. Additionally, CDG and its customers have access to Asigra-geniuses and CoreVault support staff without having to incur the entire cost of a 24/7 help desk. This has helped us maximize our margins to greatly improve profitability."
