Managed service providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs) can now use eFolder to add off-site backup and disaster recovery (BDR) services to any Veeam Software deployment.

Atlanta-based eFolder today launched eFolder BDR for Veeam, a solution that provides verified virtual machine (VM) backups in the cloud. According to eFolder, channel partners that deploy eFolder BDR for Veeam have multiple ways to recover VMs in the event of an outage or site-wide disaster.

The new release leverages Veeam Availability Suite v8 to replicate backup images to the eFolder Cloud, the company said, and features:

500 gigabytes of cloud storage per VM.
Compatibility with new and existing Veeam software licenses.
Point-and-click configuration capabilities.
Several recovery options, including on-site recovery, recovery of Hyper-V VMs in the cloud, download or expedited shipment of a copy of the VM data.
Veeam Cloud Connect functionality.

“With minimal overhead, partners can now deliver a profitable, easy-to-manage and end-to-end disaster recovery solution for virtualized environments,” eFolder CEO Kevin Hoffman said in a prepared statement.

Ted Hulsy, eFolder’s vice president of marketing, told Talkin’ Cloud that eFolder BDR for Veeam is an extension of his company’s BDR open cloud strategy.

He pointed out that this solution “empowers various brands of local image-based backup software to be married to the eFolder Cloud, enabling [channel partners] to deliver end-to-end business continuity and disaster recovery.”

eFolder BDR for Veeam is now available to U.S. and Canadian channel partners.

In addition, Hulsy noted that eFolder remains “100 percent committed to selling through the IT channel” and continues to explore ways to support its MSP and VAR partners.
