Asigra Integrates With AWS, Adds Cloud Backup Infrastructure Options

Asigra partners now can leverage an integration between Asigra Cloud Backup and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to improve their cloud infrastructure offerings.

Fronde, a Wellington, New Zealand-based Asigra partner, this week unveiled an Asigra Cloud Backup-AWS integration that enables managed service providers (MSPs) to offer backup-as-a-service (BaaS) solutions.

The Fronde Cloud Backup solution protects customer data across cloud, mobile, physical and virtual environments, according to Asigra.

This solution enables enterprises and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to outsource their backup and disaster recovery (BDR) needs, Asigra said, reducing the costs that are typically associated with multi-platform, multi-device data protection.

“With AWS and Asigra, our clients use Fronde Cloud Backup to improve their IT operations efficiency, leaving them with additional resources to focus on innovation and revenue-generating activities,” Fronde CEO Ian Clarke said in a prepared statement.

Asigra also noted the Asigra Cloud Backup-AWS integration allows customers to choose the level of service, and regardless of whether the service is deployed for hybrid or public cloud backup, AWS provides them with a scalable, secure and affordable alternative to a locally managed infrastructure.

“Service providers that choose Amazon as their cloud storage platform gain access to a highly distributed, full-featured platform at a fraction of the cost of traditional infrastructure,” Asigra Executive Vice President Eran Farajun added.

Ultimately, the Asigra Cloud Backup-AWS integration could benefit both MSPs and their customers, Asigra said.

“The Asigra-AWS integration provides managed service providers and their customers with another alternative cloud backup and recovery solution that leverages the cloud for a cost-effective approach to data protection,” an Asigra spokesperson told Talkin’ Cloud.
