According to CommVault, the new service could offer up to a 50% price reduction compared to current DR services.
The Simpana software offers decent features, with integrated source side deduplication, data encryption, and cloud integration through Amazon’s services, meaning easy scaling. Simpana’s approach to data management makes it easier on IT-Lifeline to provide more data security, more compliance features, and to keep administrative costs relatively low. In essence, they’re providing a DR service that uses Amazon Web Services to keep their costs low, and Simpana software to keep functionality high.
Using a secure and efficient method of DR that takes keeps user costs low is a silver bullet for success. IT-Lifeline predicts that BLACKCLOUD Edge will become the their fastest growing service and double its business within two years.
