Asigra teams with Azlan to target MSPs

Cloud backup and recovery vendor Asigra has recruited Azlan to help extend its reach amongst UK managed services providers (MSPs).

The distributor says it is looking to sign new partners who are active in the managed services sector who want to extend a cloud backup service.

“Our partnership with Azlan adds a new dimension to our presence in the UK and will allow us to reach more MSPs and partners,” says Eran Farajun, EVP at Asigra. “The UK market is developing rapidly and with Asigra Cloud Backup, managed services providers have the optimal solution to offer their customers tremendous flexibility, confidence and low total cost of ownership.”

Headquartered in Toronto, Asigra says its Cloud Backup supports all devices and applications, including datacentre servers and storage, desktop PCs, notebooks, mobiles and Office 365, Google Apps and Salesforce.com. All backups are encrypted before transmission to a cloud vault and remain encrypted while they are stored. No-one except the customer themselves has access to the decryption key.

“Asigra’s solution is ideal for MSPs looking to drive top line revenue, expand their total addressable market, increase monthly recurring revenue and/or increase wallet share with existing customers while providing dependable recovery times for virtualised and hybrid environments and critical applications,” says Andy Brown, director of cloud services UK and Ireland, Azlan.

Asigra says it provides partners with commercial tools such as a Market Readiness Toolkit, turnkey marketing campaigns, content marketing assets, social media materials, sales playbooks and presentation materials.

Azlan says it works with more MSPs on a monthly basis than any other value added distributor in the UK, citing relationships with the likes of Brocade, Cisco, Citrix, EMC, HP, IBM, Lenovo, Microsoft, Symantec, Veritas and VMware.
