OneXafe Solo’s launched!

 

Great news. StorageCraft’s Plug-and-Play Data Protection solution is now available. Designed for smaller, simpler environments – it streams data directly to StorageCraft’s Cloud Services. It uses the same ShadowXafe data protection technology, within a compact form factor.

 

The units are easy to deploy and manage – you’ll be up and running in minutes. Simply plug it in, connect to the internet and start protecting data. Once data’s uploaded, it enables quick restores straight into Hyper V or VMware.

 

There is no storage limit per machine being backed up. The monthly cost per machine allows for up to 1TB per server. This is pooled across all servers attached to Solo units and any other Cloud Premium machines in your MSP portal. Other storage options besides the cloud include; a 2.5” internal disk (up to 4TB), external USB, or local servers (NFS / SMB).

 

There’s no charge for the actual Solo device, nor any upfront costs. All Solo units come with a 12 month minimum commit (charged monthly). Don’t worry, you can change your mind within 45-days without penalty.

 

StorageCraft also have NFR units for $1599 ($999 USD). The NFR appliance includes up to 3 servers for 12 months. For full offer details click here. Alternatively, contact storagecraft@sofsol.co.nz for orders / queries.

Trial Disaster Recovery as a Service. Win $4K of Grandstream gear.

 

Using ShadowXafe / ShadowProtect backup and recovery solutions for local backups, is usually enough to recover IT systems from server failure.

Consider replicating ShadowXafe / ShadowProtect backup images to StorageCraft’s disaster-recovery cloud. This gives you the tools to keep your clients’ businesses running, no matter what happens. Protect on-premise business systems and data in a cloud, purpose-built for total business continuity.

 

Access cloud data anywhere, anytime using this highly distributed and fault-tolerant disaster recovery cloud with 99.999+ percent uptime. StorageCraft’s cloud features a patented ability to pre-stage site-wide failover processes, so you can test / execute failovers at the click of a button.
