Business of Tech | Cloud Data Protection: N2WS and Axcient Enhance AWS

And a bit of backup news.

N2WS has launched Cross-Cloud Volume Restore for AWS and Azure, providing data protection, enhancing security, and optimizing costs. The update includes cross-cloud BDR capabilities between AWS and Azure, immutability in Amazon S3 and EBS, granular backup policy reports, VPC capture and cloning, and ELB enhancement.

Axcient has announced the addition of macOS file-level data protection. This enhancement allows MSPs to serve their clients at higher service levels and expands the existing coverage of Windows, Linux, and public clouds. With the increasing usage of Apple endpoints running macOS, the need for data protection and disaster recovery services has grown. Axcient’s x360Recover for macOS is now available to all partners. Additionally, Axcient offers data protection for other non-Windows systems, such as Linux servers, and provides convenient MSP pricing with flat monthly fees and pooled storage. Axcient also offers Direct-to-Cloud solutions for Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.

Why do we care?

Lots of tactical information for you today.   Organizations should consider leveraging cross-cloud capabilities to enhance their data protection and disaster recovery strategies. This approach can provide greater resilience and flexibility in managing IT infrastructure.

MSPs should look for solutions that offer flexible, predictable pricing models. Flat monthly fees and pooled storage options can help manage costs effectively while providing high-quality data protection services.
