Cloud Backup Service Providers Join Asigra at Fourth Annual Cloud Backup Partner Summit in Toronto
Hundreds of Cloud Backup Service Providers Participate in Toronto Event for Strategies to Outsmart Competitors in Fast Growing Cloud Backup Market
Toronto, Canada, June 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Asigra Inc., a leading Cloud Backup™, recovery and restore (BURR) software provider since 1986, today announced that leading storage industry analysts will join a host of experts from Asigra and its cloud backup service providers as featured speakers and panelists at the Asigra Cloud Backup Partner Summit, June 7-8 in Toronto. The Asigra Partner Summit, this year entitled OutMarket, OutSell, OutSmart, is the only conference of its kind where hundreds of cloud backup service providers, MSPs and VARs from all over the world come together to hear the latest in trends and technologies impacting cloud backup. The conference offers a range of strategies to help service providers take a leadership position in one of cloud computing’s largest areas of opportunity – cloud backup.
The market for cloud backup services is approximately $2 billion and growing rapidly, according to analysts. That trend is visible with businesses of every size and in every vertical as these organizations seek comprehensive backup that is more reliable and cost efficient. In fact, a recent study commissioned by Asigra revealed that businesses who will embrace cloud backup will increase dramatically over the next two years. Across all industries, companies are turning to Asigra Cloud Backup™ for its efficiency, security and ease-of-use.
Companies are transitioning to business-class cloud backup because it:
• Makes data recovery and restoration accessible from anywhere to anywhere
• Offers built-in disaster recovery
• Is highly scalable; there’s no storage limit
• Automates mass deployment, management and comprehensive data backup
• Provides a safe, secure way of backing up data both locally and remotely
Asigra was the first to develop cloud backup technology in 1986 by creating a platform that could deliver backup and recovery services over telephone lines. More than 25 years later, the company’s cloud backup platform remains the most efficient, robust and secure solution of its kind. According to Lauren Whitehouse, a senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, Asigra remains “at the forefront of providing the most optimized way to protect data in the cloud.”
Presentations in the summit’s three tracks - OutMarket, OutSell, and OutSmart - are aimed at giving partners the edge they need to rise to the top of an increasingly crowded marketplace. As Forrester analyst Rachel Dines pointed out in a recent article on Bloomberg.com, the growing demand for cloud backup has bred “hundreds of new cloud backup providers, and most of them have popped up in the past couple of years.”
Some of the world’s leading experts in cloud backup will present at this year’s summit. They include Steve Duplessie, Founder and Senior Analyst for the Enterprise Strategy Group, who will present on “Cloud Backup Mobile Marketing Opportunities”; Dave Chapa, Senior Analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group, who will discuss "Building a Stronger Cloud Backup and Recovery Business;” Richard Fouts, Research Director at Gartner, who will present “Why Marketing Matters: How to Rise Above the Noise”; and Mike Colesante, VP of U.S. Sales, Backup Technology Limited, whose presentation will focus on “Penetration and Retention of Customer Accounts – Sales Tactics and Techniques.”
Throughout the two-day summit, there will also be open discussions, moderated partner panels and educational lectures. In a presentation titled “Cloud Backup Competitive Positioning,” Marc Staimer, President and CDS, Dragonslayer Consulting will provide competitive analysis and insights of various technologies and alternatives and discuss positioning for winning more sales opportunities. Headlining the agenda, technology leaders that include Intel, NetApp, and Symantec, will deliver presentations and support Hands-on-Lab discussions on joint solutions Powered by Asigra for service providers and VARs.
At this year’s conference, Asigra will again host its innovative Hands-On-Lab, featuring the latest hardware technologies from Intel, NetApp, Symantec and next generation Asigra Cloud Backup software to enable seamless data protection. With a focus of reducing management, backup windows and costs, lab attendees will have the opportunity to “touch the technology” and learn how to optimize backup from the core to the edge, efficiently and profitability. Exercises will include performing live backup, recovery and restoration procedures in private, public and hybrid cloud environments.
