    Securing Data in the Public Cloud

    Nearly a quarter of SMBs are choosing Microsoft Azure as the foundation to host their infrastructure and applications in the public cloud to reduce costs and complexity. Nearly a quarter are choosing Microsoft Azure as the foundation. Unfortunately, similar to Microsoft 365, Microsoft does not have SLAs surrounding the actual data stored within their services. That means MSPs are responsible for protecting their clients’ workloads and data within Azure.

    x360Recover Direct-to-Cloud for Microsoft Azure fully virtualizes Azure backups, leveraging the automation of Axcient’s Virtual Office and customizable Runbooks for exceptional ease of use.

    Plus, always-on AirGap serves as a last line of defense against accidental or malicious data deletion.

    The solution unifies client protection across on-premises and Azure workloads and is priced at a flat fee, per server or device, which includes pooled storage, and provides a third-party cloud where full Disaster Recovery (DR) testing and live VMs can be virtualized in minutes with near-instant RTO for DR.

    With these capabilities, MSPs ensure data protection and recovery of client data in the public cloud. MSPs get a comprehensive solution for data protection that frees them from the risks of relying solely on Microsoft backup, along with low management overhead and simplified pricing to ensure profitability.

So stop wasting time, money, and resources managing vendors, and start streamlining operations with a BCDR vendor dedicated to MSP growth.

    Avoid the Risk of Complete Downtime by Separating Backups

    It can be tempting to use another native Microsoft service for backing up Azure cloud environments, but with native Azure Backup service, your backups and the production infrastructure live in Azure. In the event of an Azure incident, outage, or cyberattack, it’s possible that both the production infrastructure and your backups will be unavailable.

    Having your client’s Azure data in a separate location could mean the difference between your clients staying in business or losing their livelihood.

    Additionally, file restores from native Azure backups are more complicated and require extra services for disaster recovery and testing. It’s not an all-in-one solution, so you need Azure Backup for backups and Azure Site Recovery for business continuity. Not only does this add complexity to your stack, but it increases management resources and overall costs.

    Key Capabilities

    Axcient’s x360Recover BCDR solution has always provided support for backing up Azure VMs – and now we are extending that capability.

    Runs in Parallel with Existing Backups

Axcient designed x360Recover Direct-to-Cloud and its Microsoft Azure business continuity and disaster recovery capability to simplify the process of consolidating on a single platform. No hardware means you simply deploy our agent through your RMM tools silently, configure your Azure backup schedule, and then let it do its thing. With Chain-Free backup, we quickly start backing up data without server reboots or deactivating your existing backup products.
