eFolder, a supplier of business continuity and cloud file sync services for the IT channel, has expanded its technology partnership with Dell and announced general availability of eFolder DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service), a service that replicates Dell AppAssure backup images to the eFolder Cloud. eFolder DRaaS gives Dell AppAssure customers additional cloud recovery options in the event of a server failure or site-wide disaster.
Dell AppAssure is an image-based backup and disaster recovery (BDR) software designed for virtual, physical, and cloud infrastructures. AppAssure customers can add eFolder DRaaS to their new or existing deployment. The eFolder DRaaS provides:
- Replication of Dell AppAssure backup images to the eFolder Cloud for total infrastructure protection.
- Multiple recovery options, including cloud-based recovery, minimizing downtime in the event of an everyday or site-wide disaster.
- Compliant data centers and military-grade security.
eFolder first announced a technology partnership with Dell in 2012 to offer eFolder BDR for AppAssure, a disaster recovery service for Dell AppAssure backup images that is sold by eFolder exclusively to IT service providers. eFolder BDR for AppAssure continues to be available to Dell and eFolder partners that utilize a managed services business model.
“Dell and eFolder have partnered on a joint mission for more than three years: enhance business continuity and strengthen peace-of-mind for business owners,” says Pierre Tapia, vice president of product at eFolder. “We are proud to announce eFolder DRaaS, a product which lets Dell AppAssure customers leverage the reliability and performance of the eFolder Cloud, and minimize the risk and cost of downtime through a turn-key, cost-effective solution.”
eFolder DRaaS is available now from Dell or through Dell partners.
