US vendor Quorum is on the hunt for channel partners for its ‘one click’ Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution as it looks to expand its reach across the UK.
The San Jose-based firm enlisted a handful of UK partners since landing in 2014, before widening its search by singing distributor e92plus in November. The distie will offer the vendor’s full product suite to its reseller base.
The San Jose-based vendor says its product range is designed for mid-sized businesses who need DRaaS without the complexity or cost of datacentre replication. “Our solution is ideal for the mid-sized business and by working with e92plus we gain access to hundreds of resellers, as well as the ability to offer customers the essential support and assurance they need,” says David Fisk, EMEA sales director at Quorum.
Fisk says the vendor wants to bridge the gap between traditional expensive DR and business continuity (BC). Quorum, which goes up against the likes of DR vendors Veeam, Zerto and Unitrends, sells entirely through partners in the UK.
The worldwide DRaaS market is estimated to grow 52.9 percent from $1.42bn in 2015 to $11.92bn in 2020, according to research by MarketsandMarkets.
“Disaster recovery as a service and cloud-based DR strategies are making server and application recovery plans far less complicated and highly efficient for businesses,” says Fisk. “Businesses are looking for solutions that can easily recover data, applications and services in the datacentres and in the cloud, and Quorum continues to see steady demand from growing enterprises investing in the health of their business with our DR and DRaaS platforms.”
Revenues for Quorum’s channel programme grew by 200 percent between 2012 and 2014.
