Cloud backup and disaster recovery (BDR) provider EVault, Inc. has released the new EVault 7 backup appliances, offering users the benefits of the cloud while retaining on-site control of data and operation. These devices are built with pre-configured hardware, storage and software designed for cloud hybrid data protection. Here are the details.

EVault, a Seagate Company (NASDAQ:STX), has released two new appliances: EVault Plug-n-Protect, an all-in-one appliance with customizable cloud replication, and EVault Express Recovery Appliance, which adds a local cache to cloud backups to speed data recovery. Each device has its own unique set of features:

“Mid market customers have long accepted they cannot have a backup and recovery solution that is failproof, scalable and easy to manage within their budget,” said EVault Server Backup and Archiving Products Vice President Daniel Bankert, in a statement. “EVault 7 Appliances are changing the game by giving IT fast, local access to their data, plus offsite protection with a copy in the Cloud, at no-brainer prices.”

Through March 29, 2013 the EVault Plug-n-Protect 6 TB model is available for an MSRP of US$19,995, plus standard support and maintenance. This is being offered as introductory promotional pricing.
