Simply Continuous Adds Cannell Capital, Nanometrics and Scout Labs to Rapidly Expanding Customer Roster for Managed Services

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 20, 2009

Simply Continuous, a recovery service provider (RSP) for mid-size enterprises, today announced Cannell Capital, Nanometrics (Nasdaq: NANO) and Scout Labs have joined the growing list of customers subscribing to its Data Recovery Vault and AppAlive managed services. Simply Continuous’ managed services provide companies possessing 1 TB or more of data with secure and cost-effective recovery of critical business information in the event of unplanned outages. Its services are backed by the industry’s only service-level guarantee for reliable data recovery.

With higher performance and lower cost than tape-based solutions, as well as the increased availability and visibility critical for compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Simply Continuous’ services are finding favor among companies in industries as diverse as finance, manufacturing and Web-based services, among others.

“Our customers are validating the need for a managed data recovery service that can keep pace with rapidly growing data, while making it easy and cost-effective to restore data and applications, when needed,” said Tom Frangione, Simply Continuous co-founder and CEO. “Our patent-pending Universal Recovery Platform is the first in the industry to monitor and enforce customer recovery SLAs. “

Cannell Capital Replaces Tape; Recovers Data 10X Faster

Cannell Capital, a hedge fund with affiliated offices in Jackson, Wyoming and San Francisco, selected Simply Continuous’ Data Recovery Vault after searching for a “smarter way” to protect its fund’s precious data. Cannell Capital’s IT advisor, Tim Albertson of Great Divide IT Consulting, said the company is now able to recover 10 times faster than it could previously with tape-based backup.

Since Cannell’s affiliated office is located in the heart of the San Francisco earthquake zone and he works remotely in Cannell’s main office in Jackson, WY, Albertson was especially drawn to storing data off-site at the Simply Continuous secure datacenter in Scottsdale, AZ, as well as the ability to recover this data without requiring his physical presence in Cannell’s primary datacenter. “There are so many companies relying on tape backup when they don’t have to,” said Albertson. “If their IT departments aren’t looking for ways to better protect against outages, then they aren’t staying on top of things. There’s compelling technology like deduplication out there and it can be accessed through a cost-effective service like Data Recovery Vault. Companies need to embrace it.”

Scout Labs Chooses Simply Continuous’ Recovery SLA over Amazon S3

Scout Labs, a social media monitoring and analysis platform, concurs that it is critical to simultaneously deal with growing storage costs and the ability to quickly recover their data. Steve Green, director of operations at Scout Labs, initially looked into Amazon S3 services and discovered that “throughput was an issue.” Green says it would have taken over a month to recover the company’s data.

“I especially liked the fact that Simply Continuous worked with enterprise-class technology leaders like Data Domain. And the fact that I didn’t have to change my backup software or processes made installation much easier,” Green said. When comparing Simply Continuous with Amazon S3 he added, “We could upload our data to the Amazon cloud but there was no guarantee that we would get it back. With Data Recovery Vault’s recovery SLA, Simply Continuous was the obvious choice.”

Nanometrics realizes 20% savings using Simply Continuous

Nanometrics Incorporated, a manufacturer of process control metrology systems used in semiconductor manufacturing, was especially attracted to Simply Continuous services to replace tape, reduce costs and minimize administration. “With the economic downturn, my department is asked to do more with less. Finding a recovery service provider to take this program off my plate as well as reduce my overhead costs related to backup and recovery was a high priority,” said Dave Kizer, Nanometrics’ director of information technology. “With Simply Continuous, I was able to redeploy 1-1/2 staffers to other critical projects and reduce overall costs by 20 percent.”

Significantly, Simply Continuous guaranteed that Nanometrics’ financial data was protected and recoverable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley regulations. “The Data Recovery Vault service makes it easy to demonstrate to auditors that our financial data is protected and recoverable. I know my data is safe in a SAS-70 datacenter and I can log into Simply Continuous’ portal to verify that all my data is replicated off-site and ready to be recovered whenever I need it,” Kizer explained.

The Simply Continuous services automatically replicates data and virtualized application images. Simply Continuous monitors the service across 1,300 points in the infrastructure so customer data is ready to be recovered at all times. Customers can access real-time status of their service, browse the actual data sets, as well as log and monitor issues through the Simply Continuous online portal. The data can be recovered in four different, independent modes, ensuring recovery of the data at any time.

AppAlive enables companies to protect and recover their business-critical applications in an easy-to-deploy and cost-effective way. It captures current images of applications, securely stores them and provides companies with a hosted recovery environment for their virtualized applications.

About Simply Continuous

Simply Continuous Adds Cannell Capital, Nanometrics and Scout Labs to Rapidly Expanding Customer Roster for Managed Services

Simply Continuous Gives Customers Unprecedented Management and Accelerated Data Recovery with Data Recovery Vault 2.0 Managed Service

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 18, 2009 -

Simply Continuous, a recovery service provider (RSP) for mid-size enterprises, today announced Data Recovery Vault 2.0 managed service integrating new software that dramatically simplifies and accelerates the data recovery process. Available free of charge to current customers, the new and upgraded version includes RecoverNOW (recovery management software) and Dynamic SLA (service-level agreement) capabilities in addition to support for the newest EMC Data Domain deduplication appliances and platforms and other recovery performance refinements.

RecoverNOW Software Lets Customers Recover Data 10 Times Faster

The new RecoverNOW software adds powerful rules-based filtering and analytics capabilities that enable customers to analyze and determine which critical data sets to recover first in the event of various disaster recovery scenarios. Once a recovery scenario and the associated data set for recovery are determined, RecoverNOW automatically calculates the estimated time it will take to replicate the data onto an EMC Data Domain emergency recovery appliance and be ready-to-ship to the customers location.

In nearly every disaster recovery scenario, customers find that they dont need to recover their entire data set right away. For example, a company may store 90 days worth of data but only need its last full backup of data in the event of a disaster. By recovering a smaller data set, Simply Continuous can prepare and ship the data up to 10 times faster than shipping the entire data set. For companies protecting 10s to 100s of terabytes, this accelerated recovery time can make a huge difference when time is of the essence.

During a beta test of the RecoverNOW software, Jackson Wan, system administrator for the San Francisco Giants, was able to define his recovery data set within a couple of minutes of using the software. Once he determined the data set, RecoverNOW calculated the hours to replicate the data to a recovery appliance and be ready-to-ship.

RecoverNOW is easy-to-use and provides added visibility into the recovery process. I can select different data sets for RecoverNOW to analyze and calculate the ready-to-ship times. At first, I thought that I would need 30 days of backups in the event of a full blown recovery, said Wan. After playing with the application for a few minutes I determined that 30 days was overkill and all I needed was 8 days of backups thereby reducing the ready-to-ship time dramatically. I look forward to using it as part of the Data Recovery Vault service.

Industrys First Dynamic Recovery SLA

Simply Continuous Dynamic SLAan industry firstgives companies unprecedented flexibility and control to define their own guaranteed recovery SLAs to meet specific disaster recovery scenarios and corporate governance requirements. This unique Dynamic SLA capability is enabled by the RecoverNOW software which calculates the estimated ready-to-ship time for a customer specified data recovery set. With just one click, Simply Continuous Data Recovery Vault customers can create a custom SLA based on this estimated ready-to-ship time.

Because RecoverNOW provides granular and accurate ready-to-ship times based on the customers defined recovery data set, we now have the ability to provide an instant SLA that relates to that specific data set, said Tom Frangione, Simply Continuous co-founder and CEO. We are committed to helping our customers recover their data in the fastest and easiest way possible. RecoverNOW software and our Dynamic SLA truly put our customers in the drivers seat, giving them the ability to run what-if recovery scenarios with filtering parameters that meet their unique needs and get back their data quickly in case of a disaster or emergency.

Enterprise-Class Upgrades for Simply Continuous Universal Recovery Platform

In addition to RecoverNOW and the Dynamic SLA, Simply Continuous made significant upgrades to its Universal Recovery Platform to support the newest EMC Data Domain deduplication appliances and operating systems including the DD140, DD610, DD630 and DD880. These infrastructure upgrades bring EMC Data Domains enterprise-class deduplication technology to the mid-size enterprise as part of a recovery service rather than stand-alone technologies. The support for these new appliances and operating systems was done concurrently to EMC Data Domains general availability.

Detailed understanding of the methodology of storing data in an EMC Data Domain environment allowed Simply Continuous to make infrastructure improvements to better balance and optimize the replication of data resulting in a significantly faster recovery of customers data.

About Data Recovery Vault and AppAlive

Data Recovery Vault 2.0 and AppAlive integrate into any existing backup infrastructure and enable customers to use an easily accessible web portal to monitor, browse or restore the companys digital assets. The Simply Continuous patent-pending Universal Recovery Platform architecture integrates data compression, network acceleration, secure transmission, off-site monitoring and reliable, simple recovery processes. Cost of the services is nearly always less than the combination of tape backup and off-site storage that the majority of mid-size enterprises use today.

About Simply Continuous

Simply Continuous, provider of enterprise-class managed services, enables businesses to strategically plan for and recover data and applications during unplanned outages and disasters. Founded on the belief that recovery should be simple and cost-effective for enterprises of all sizes, Simply Continuous Universal Recovery Platform uniquely delivers on this promise.

Level Platforms and Symantec Provide Security Endpoint for Managed Services Providers

Ottawa, Canada and Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) July 10, 2012

Level Platforms today introduced its second advanced integration with the release of the new Symantec Endpoint Protection Service Module, which allows managed services providers (MSPs) to deliver efficient service for end-customers by monitoring, managing and troubleshooting their clients endpoint security infrastructure using Level Platforms remote monitoring and management (RMM) MSP platform.

MSPs face a daily stream of information about their clients IT infrastructure that they need to prioritize and react to in real time, said Gordon Rielly, CTO of Level Platforms. We designed our Service Module architecture to ensure that vital information from critical tools, such as Symantec Endpoint Protection (http://bit.ly/P4xx8g), one of the fastest and most effective endpoint protection solutions, is presented to the MSP within their regular workflow in Managed Workplace (http://bit.ly/M5byy1). Compared to competing approaches, our collaboratively designed Symantec Endpoint Protection Service Module delivers a fully integrated solution with complete alerting capabilities, customizable reporting, simple installation and integrated workflows.

Easy access, simple installation, complete reporting

With the Symantec Endpoint Protection Service Module, MSPs can easily access up-to-date information on the health of all of their customers endpoint protection deployments from a single Managed Workplace dashboard. This includes the current status of endpoints, detailed license information and the status of signatures and updates ensuring that all customer endpoints are fully secured at all times. The Symantec Endpoint Protection Service Module also monitors key operating parameters and actively alerts the MSP through the central dashboard as issues arise.

To speed installation time, the Symantec Endpoint Protection Service Module installs with a few clicks and requires no additional configuration or setup. The Service Module immediately begins monitoring the overall health of all endpoints managed by Symantec Endpoint Protection and displays all vital information on both at risk and normal endpoints in a single display. Customizable reports detailing overall endpoint protection system health, endpoint client version, definition and protection status and a licensing summary are all included in the Service Module, allowing MSPs to provide a complete, detailed view of their network to their end-customers.

“The comprehensive integration between Level Platforms and Symantec technologies provides immediate benefits for our customers and our business,” said Luis Alvarez, President and CEO of Alvarez Technology Group Inc. “From a single Managed Workplace dashboard, we now have even deeper visibility into the health and status of our customers’ entire network. This has helped us significantly reduce the time required to identify and resolve issues. In addition, customizable reporting tools delivered by Level Platforms now let us easily provide our clients with a detailed view of their network, and help position us as their trusted IT service provider. The integrated solution from Level Platforms and Symantec delivers a new level of automation, responsiveness and insight that is key as we continue to grow our MSP business.”

Long-standing relationship

Level Platforms and Symantec worked closely together to identify the monitoring and management interfaces that need to be exposed to help optimize the management experience for MSPs. The culmination of these efforts includes the Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 MP 1 release and the Symantec Endpoint Protection Service Module. Previously, Level Platforms and Symantec introduced the popular Symantec Backup Exec Service Module.

Level Platforms was among the first to enable our Symantec Endpoint Protection and Backup Exec products at a meaningful level, including reporting, monitoring and alerting, and they continue to set a high standard in terms of ease of use and depth of integrated functionality, said Stephen Banbury, Vice President, Channel and Alliance Marketing, SMB and .cloud, Symantec. Level Platforms partnership with Symantec allows MSPs to deliver Symantecs security and recovery solutions as services to their customers, enabling them to take advantage of the MSP opportunity.
