Storage Guardian and ASCII Group invite VARs, MSPs and solutions providers to learn how to create long-term relationships and multi-year annuity revenue streams for their business. Attend this information-rich seminar to learn how to successfully deploy enterprise-grade cloud online backup services to SMBs, and to understand why these services are more appropriate for business customers than consumer-grade backup products.

Aimed at small-business IT managers, and VARs and MSPs who sell into the small and medium-sized business sector, this free webinar will focus on the issue of handling the backup and recovery of valuable email messages.

Webinar: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT

Remember the fax? Not so long ago, it was considered an essential business communication medium. Nowadays, most important business decisions are conveyed via email. So, what happens if you need to recover that crucial email message that was deleted just a few weeks ago? You’ll need a solution that can find that message without interrupting the current email system. That can be a real challenge.

Storage Guardian’s Dave Minns will show you how to apply the latest Asigra-based televaulting technology to perform highly granular archival of email messages. Storage Guardian’s technology understands the inner workings of email platforms of Exchange, Outlook, GroupWise and Notes, and can backup and restore an individual email, calendar entry or contact to the original owner’s system.

You will learn how you can implement this approach for your clients, and tips on how to implement an effective and affordable email lifecycle management strategy.

Attend this seminar if you’re interested learning how you can offer your clients enterprise-grade online backup services, and understanding why these services are more appropriate for business customers than consumer-grade ‘commodity’ backup services like Mozy and Carbonite.

A little about David Minns
David Minns is a 12-year sales engineering veteran who assists VARs and MSPs with their sales and business services development to small and medium-size businesses. He is an industry evangelist regarding cloud SaaS backup and the annuity revenue opportunities it offers solutions providers.

MSPs and VARs can benefit from Storage Guardian’s enterprise-ready approach:
* A cost-saving tiered-storage approach that includes: a) a local backup of first-generation data; b) a highly available second tier of online backup; c) a third tier of near-line backups of mature data (typically backups that have aged past 90 days).
* Competitive pricing at a rate of $3.00 (50 cents for tiered storage) per compressed GB per month (based on a 3:1 compression ratio).
* Convenience and flexibility are two crucial considerations when a major data restore is needed after a catastrophic server failure. Storage Guardian’s ‘bare metal’ capability can restore data backup up from one server to a completely different server.
* To save time for new customers, the initial backup is performed on a portable drive that is then shipped to Storage Guardian. Similarly, if a major restore of a large amount of data is needed, Storage Guardian can overnight a portable drive containing the data to be restored.
* Storage Guardian’s ultra-secure online backup technology uses AES 256-bit encryption plus hardware authentication. Information to be backed up is de-duplicated (deduped), compressed and encrypted before transmission to Storage Guardian’s SAS-70 compliant datacenter.
