Partnership News: Server Monitoring, Backup and Failover

SMBs and the solution providers who work with them face resource challenges that large enterprises don't have. LabTech, Doyenz and StorageCraft just announced a partnership that gives them a way to offer small businesses what large companies have, without paying through the nose for it.

This new "Freemium" offering gives Managed Service Providers (MSPs) the ability to monitor servers with LabTech and then backup everything on those servers with StorageCraft ShadowProtect. In the event of a disaster, you can failover in just a few minutes to a virtual machine (VM) with ShadowProtect's VirtualBoot technology, or failover in the cloud with the Doyenz Shadowcloud.

Here are quotes from the press announcement:

"MSPs need an efficient method of protecting their customers' information and monitoring their systems to prevent problems before they happen," said Curt James, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at StorageCraft. "This strategic relationship between LabTech, Doyenz and StorageCraft not only allows MSPs to keep tabs on servers and resolve issues before they become problems, it also allows them to backup and failover systems in the cloud, in case of a catastrophe that can't be prevented."

"By partnering with LabTech and StorageCraft, we are proud to offer the channel a truly innovative, end-to-end disaster recovery solution, previously only available to enterprise market," said Eric Webster, VP of Sales and Marketing for Doyenz. "Managed Service Providers can now ensure complete business continuity and manage their clients remotely with LabTech—and make significant profit margins while doing so."

"The formed partnerships with Doyenz and StorageCraft, and the newly developed Freemium offer is a huge benefit to our LabTech partners and the entire MSP industry," said Matt Nachtrab, CEO of LabTech Software. "LabTech Software and its partnerships with other leading industry solution providers like Doyenz and StorageCraft is giving today's MSPs the needed toolsets to help their IT businesses become more efficient, productive and profitable."
