Datto Inc. Releases a Revolutionary Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution to the Channel


Wilton, CT (Vocus/PRWEB) January 18, 2011

Dattos passion for innovation has once again made its mark on the backup and disaster recovery industry. With the release of Siris, Datto has dramatically simplified the backup process by providing a solution that offers complete end-to-end business continuity. By eliminating the image chain in the backup process, Datto devices can now take information directly from the server to virtual machines, making data recovery both faster and more robust.

Dattos unique process of inverse chain technology prevents the risk of file damage because the base image is always the newest file. This is different from traditional backup where computers must rely on older files to restore newer ones. Dattos new technology ensures that the full image is always at the front of the backup chain, and does not rely on past files for recovery.

Siris is also the only backup device in the Channel that offers instant off-site virtualization. This feature provides rapid restoration, even in the event of a complete facility loss, by allowing companies to completely fail-over to the cloud.

The release of Siris represents a tremendous amount of time and effort from the entire Datto team. Thanks to valuable feedback from our Channel partners, we were able to create a cutting edge product that will change the industry standard for BDR solutions, said Austin McChord, President & CEO.

Siris offers a full spectrum of incredible features that will enable Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Value Added Resellers (VARs) to bring this solution to companies of various sizes. Siris provides unprecedented insight into the backup process by providing screenshots of each backup image. Siris also implements other benefits such as, data deduplication, instant local virtualization, quick setup, and a web interface that is fully managed over the internet. The user has the ability to test virtual machines at any time.

To learn more about Siris, view Dattos Special Announcement Video at http://www.dattobackup.com/event.

Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) October 11, 2012

Datto Inc., an award-winning provider of hardware based on-site and off-site backup, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions today announced the release of its new Partner Alliance Program, aimed at helping Datto Partners grow revenues quickly and easily.

Dattos Partner Alliance Program is designed to deliver more value and support to its Partner base. The new program aims to increase engagement by placing Partners into three tiers: Authorized Partner, Certified Partner and Premier Partner. Specific benefits associated with each tier enable Partners to continue company growth and increase profitability.

What makes this new program really unique is the way we separate the partner tiers, said Shannon Kohn, Director of Marketing & Channel Relations. By using a point system, our Partners will be able to see in real time where they stand, which will assist them with goal setting.

Partners are awarded points based on the amount of device storage they have purchased through Datto, and can earn bonus points by participating in Datto activities and promotions. Partners must accumulate a set amount of points and complete certain training requirements in order to move up to the next tier.

Our Preferred Partners receive some serious benefits, such as a VIP technical support number, free device shipping and more. We wanted to deliver benefits that Partners would get excited about, added Kohn.

Datto has also released a Partner Welcome Kit that is a comprehensive guide for new and existing Datto Partners. Items in the Welcome Kit include; Partner Quickstart Guide, company overview, service benefits explanation, training opportunities, Datto polices and more. We want to help Partners leverage Dattos resources and expertise, so they can onboard faster and continue to grow their sales volume month over month, explained Kohn.

The new program affirms our commitment to our Partners and the channel. We actively try to foster meaningful relationship with our Partners, and I think the Partner Alliance Program is a great step towards that goal, said Kohn. We are dedicated to our Partners success and are constantly looking for ways to help them achieve it.

Other components of the new program include: a guided virtual video tour of Dattos Partner Portal, new customizable marketing materials, lead sharing opportunities, Sales & Marketing Training, not-for-resale opportunities and website-ready Partner Badges.

SMB Nation Announces Winners of SMB IT Channel Vendor Hot Shot Awards


Bainbridge Island, WA (PRWEB) October 25, 2012

SMB Nation announced today the winners of its 1st Annual Hot Shot Awards contest. The awards, which recognize SMB channel vendors who have made a difference for VARs, MSPs, and IT consultants through their commitment and efforts in the SMB IT space, were presented during the final day of SMB Nations Fall Conference in Las Vegas last week.

The Hot Shot Awards recognized vendors in 11 different areas, including Backup and Disaster Recovery; Cloud and Virtualization; Hardware and Peripherals; Managed Print Services; Marketing and Educational Services; Mobility; On-Premises Infrastructure; Remote Monitoring and Management; Professional Services Automation; Security; and Unified Communications.

The vendor nomination and voting process for the Hot Shot Awards was conducted over a one-month period from August 15, 2012 to September 15, 2012. Once the preliminary voting period closed, a panel of SMB channel experts reviewed the ballots and made a final determination based on the vendor’s product diversity, uniqueness, ability to enhance the SMB industry, cost efficiency, ability to overcome technology obstacles, and impact on SMB IT solution provider operations.

The winners of SMB Nations 1st Annual Hot Shot Awards are listed as follows (by category):

BDR: Axcient

Cloud/Virtualization: FiberCloud

Hardware and Peripherals: Lenovo

Managed Print Services: OKI Data

Marketing and Educational Services: ChannelEyes

Mobility: Research in Motion (RIM)

On-Premises Infrastructure: BIS Computer Solutions, Inc.

PSA: Autotask

RMM: N-Able Technologies

Security: AVG

Unified Communications: Plantronics, Vocalocity

While Im naturally hesitant to identify anything as a first annual at the risk of it not proceeding, I can wrap some exciting context around our Hot Shot Awards! Truth be told, weve had on-site voting for several years at the SMB Nation Fall Conference with paper ballots, shared Harry Brelsford, Founder of SMB Nation. But we knew we could improve the process, avoid voting irregularities and hanging chads. So we wisely went to online voting where attendees had more time to study the ballot, investigate each sponsor and vote prudently. We salute these winners as having passed a high bar of community scrutiny. This is truly an earned award and not just an honorary title. And yes you can look forward to even more electoral excitement next year at SMB Nation Fall 2013 to be held October 10-12, 2013 in Vegas!

Beyond the Hot Shot Awards, this year’s fall conference focused on “Life after Small Business Server” and the ongoing transformation of the SMB technology channel due to cloud computing, virtualization, mobile computing, Windows 8 and Server 2012, and other emerging technologies. Save the date for SMB Nation Fall 2013, which is scheduled to occur Oct. 10-12, 2013, and will be presented in conjunction with 1105 Media (Redmond Channel Partner magazine).

GL Announces Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) Protocol Emulator


Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) January 08, 2013

GL Communications Inc. announced today the release of its latest product Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) Protocol Emulator.

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Jagdish Vadalia Senior Manager for product development said, Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) is a method of signaling where a channel or timeslot carrying speech also carries with it the signaling and addressing to set up and tear down calls. The supervisory signaling is carried as onhook or offhook. The addressing is carried as DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) or as MF (Multi Frequency). This form of signaling is still used to route calls on the public switched telephone network (PSTN) including subscriber lines like 2wire local loops, on trunks between central offices (CO), and on access trunks such as PBXs. Typical CAS signaling methods are: Loop Start, Wink Start, R1, MFC-R2, SS5, and other variants of these methods.

He added, CAS emulation has been added to GL’s Message Automation and Protocol Simulation (MAPS) platform. MAPS is a protocol simulation and conformance test tool that supports a variety of protocols such as SIP, MEGACO, MGCP, SS7, ISDN, GSM, MAP, CAS, LTE, UMTS, SS7 SIGTRAN, ISDN SIGTRAN, SIP I, GSM AoIP, Diameter and many others.

MAPS CAS Emulator is a client-side application that works along with GLs T1 E1 Analyzer Cards and Windows Client/Server software. This test tool is used to perform testing using CAS signaling and transmission and detection of TDM traffic over T1 E1 using scripts, and offers a complete solution for testing, troubleshooting, and maintenance of devices and networks implementing CAS. MAPS CAS Emulator automates the testing procedure with ready scripts for inbound and outbound calls. Calls are established, once the signaling information such as signaling bits, DTMF/MF digits, or Tones are sent or detected.

Mr.Vadalia further added, MAPS CAS Emulator supports powerful utilities like Profile Editor and Script Editor, which allow new scenarios to be created or existing scenarios to be modified for CAS Signaling. The test configuration window allows users to configure various CAS signaling types including R1 digit parameters, flow control parameters, forward/ backward tone parameters and various others to transmit and receive CAS inbound and outbound signals. MAPS also supports a Command Line Interface (CLI) such as the Python, TCL (Tool Command Language) scripting tools, to provide the capability of remote operation, automation, and multi-site connectivity.
