Enabling
Service Providers to Offer Affordable Disaster Recovery
Services to SMBs
IPR International, a leader in managed data protection
and recovery services, today announced that the company
has achieved 300 percent growth in the reseller channel
in 2006 as a result of increased interest in business
continuity and disaster recovery services from telecommunications
service providers, CLECs and other technology service
providers.
IPR International’s reseller program enables companies
that currently provide telephone, Internet or technology
services to private label IPR’s online data backup
services to several hundred small to midsized customers.
Just two years ago this type of sophisticated online
backup was available only to enterprise level companies
who could afford to contract for large volumes of data
backup. By aggregating many of their clients together,
these resellers get the volume discounts and pass part
of the savings on to their clients, while building
a better suite of services to offer their customers
and generating higher monthly recurring revenues for
their own company.
“Companies large and small recognize that data protection
is a must have for the 21st century. Times have changed
and threats to data – from natural disasters, terrorism,
hackers, identity theft and simple human error – surround
us,” said Michael Emmi, Chairman and CEO of IPR International.
“IPR’s services fill an important gap in the market
- offering small to midsized companies a cost effective
way protect their mission-critical data through service
providers they know and trust. We look forward to supporting
our service provider partners in this rapidly growing
market.”
IPR’s disaster recovery and business continuity services
offer reliable online disk-to-disk-to-disk backup and
recovery for data. Using state-of-the-art technology
and proven best practices, the services automatically
transmit encrypted data through a Virtual Private Network
(VPN) from the client’s location to IPR’s data centers
to ensure that data is protected and recoverable 24x7x365.
This data is copied to yet another secure data center,
ensuring that two protected copies of are available
to clients through the Internet, at any time of day
or night, from any location in the world. Individual
files and folders can be retrieved with a simple point
and click. In addition, backup windows are significantly
reduced, usually by 50 percent or more, allowing the
IT staff to focus on more productive core projects.
“We’ve seen great interest in data protection and disaster
recovery from our customers,” said Guy Fardone, Executive
Vice President and General Manager of ATX Communications.
“With ever increasing compliance issues and even smaller
scale every day data interruptions, data protection
is no longer just for big companies. Partnering with
IPR allows us to offer our clients a robust data protection
strategy with the assurance that they can recover their
data within minutes over the Internet for a fraction
of what they would pay using other services or doing
it themselves. These services have helped numerous
clients successfully protect their data and their businesses
over the past several years.“
