BASKING RIDGE, N.J. and
BOSTON, May
11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Enterprise Solutions
has joined forces with Actifio to launch a new cloud backup service
using the copy data virtualization leader's technology
platform.
The service will support customers using virtualized
infrastructures – including a combination of colocation, hosting,
off-premises servers and other public clouds – to enable a unified
hybrid cloud environment where data is easy to manage, access and
protect.
The new Premise to Cloud Backup offering builds on Actifio's
growing relationship with Verizon, and demonstrates the business
impact of their joint capability around three key use cases:
enabling hybrid cloud, building higher quality applications faster,
and improving resiliency and availability.
"The complexity of legacy infrastructure limits the ability of
many enterprises to innovate around their data," said Dan Jablonski, director of cloud and IT
solutions, Verizon Enterprise Solutions. "We chose Actifio's
class-leading copy data virtualization technology to power this new
offering because it means we can now offer customers a simple,
single solution to protect, move and store data in our cloud.
Together with Actifio, we're helping clients to be more agile so
they can deliver better experiences to their own customers."
The service brings the full suite of Actifio's best-in-class
capabilities to Verizon's global customer base, giving them more
control to:
- Manage: Makes it easy to move data back and forth
between the customer premise and Verizon's cloud-based
infrastructure, meaning application workloads can be allocated
wherever it makes the most sense.
- Access: Allows for self-serve instant access to data
while enhancing data control, adding business value by allowing
higher quality applications to be developed faster.
- Protect: Improves resiliency and availability by
protecting data across the full range of conventional protection
use cases, allowing customers to improve internal service level
agreements while reducing cost, risk and complexity.
"Data is the lifeblood of business, and it's essential to have
access to the data and applications you need when and where you
need them," said Ash Ashutosh, founder and CEO of Actifio. "This
next step in our relationship with Verizon will enable us to
provide exactly that to more customers around the world, more
easily and efficiently than ever before. We are thrilled to take
this step forward with what is becoming one of our most important
and valued cloud service provider partnerships."
Verizon Premise to Cloud Backup service will be available in
June of 2016 in North America with
availability in Europe and
Asia-Pacific by the fall.
