Asigra has announced the Asigra Converged Data Protection Appliance for managed service providers (MSPs).
Developed to enable managed service providers/cloud service providers to enter the cloud backup market with cloud backup/DR services with monthly recurring revenue streams, the new appliances deliver Asigra software as an integrated solution. Compared to traditional storage solutions, Asigra Converged Data Protection Appliances for MSPs are plug-and-play to enable faster service deployment and time to revenue for service providers.
Avnet Embedded will be packaging and shipping Asigra Appliances on behalf of the company and providing hardware-related support.
“Avnet Embedded is working with Asigra leadership to accelerate Converged Data Protection Appliance delivery by leveraging our unique position as a global solution provider,” said John Salemme, vice president and general manager at Avnet Embedded. “Through our relationship with Asigra, we are bringing together deep technology expertise to provide managed service providers globally with the advanced solution they need to quickly and reliably stand up their backup service infrastructure without undue complexity or costs.”
“The Asigra Converged Data Protection Appliance family disintermediates storage software stacks from expensive hardware, removing the cost and complexity of secondary storage systems,” added Eran Farajun, EVP at Asigra. “We have also engineered out the complications of storage system integration, troubleshooting, fixes, patches, installation, monitoring, maintenance and the requirements for skilled hardware and operating system staff. This is a backup/DR industry first that tackles the inflexible designs and costs of traditional storage systems, introducing a new approach to highly scalable and performant data protection storage. The approach enables IT service providers who want to offer cloud backup services for the first time a quick and easy way to get to market in days rather than months with all of the Asigra marketing and sales support provided through our Hybrid Partner Program.”
