When it comes to true hybrid backup with dedicated on-site hardware and automatic cloud retention, E2 changes the game.

E2 is a complete solution that combines advanced technology from EVault with Carbonite's ease of use and small-business know-how. E2 has everything your small business customers need to protect data both on-site and in the cloud. There are no upfront hardware costs, no complicated retention policies and no need to calculate how much cloud space you’ll need. E2 does it all for you.

The dedicated E2 backup appliance is delivered “as a service.” That means Carbonite's EVault team will handle any maintenance or updates. And we provision enough cloud capacity for a full year of backups. So it’s simpler on budgets and on resources. And that makes backup a much more compelling proposition for small businesses. The entire solution is powered by advanced technology from EVault, one of the leading providers of backup and disaster recovery since 1997.

Retention settings are pre-configured so that customers keep their most recent daily backups on-site for accelerated recovery time objectives, and an entire year of backups in the cloud for site failures and true disaster scenarios. The subscription price includes hardware, software and year of retentions.

Listen to this quick podcast to learn more about the E2 hybrid backup solution and how it can help you close more disaster recovery deals:

E2’s sweet spot is customers with about five or fewer servers. We offer two packages based on the total amount of data the customer needs to protect: 500 GB or 1 TB. If they need more than 1 TB of protection, our EVault line has options to choose from.

Monitoring and managing the solution is also easy with E2’s web-based portal. It’s highly intuitive and continually updated for ease of use. Recovery is extremely flexible, with options for both granular and bare-metal recovery, including dissimilar hardware restore. And you can log in to the portal from anywhere. With end-to-end encryption and top-tier data centers, businesses know their data remains secure at every step. E2 is very competitively priced and ready to ship to you or your customers. All you really need to do is plug it in.

And don’t forget, through the Partner Program, we offer collateral and marketing support. So you grow your business while helping your customers grow theirs. Learn more about Carbonite's Partner Program and become a partner today.
