EVault,
Inc., a Seagate company (NASDAQ: STX), today announced that Windows
Azure customers who sign a new Windows Azure Enterprise Agreement will
receive one year of free EVault
Endpoint Protection, a cloud-connected backup, recovery and data
security solution for endpoint devices.
EVault’s offer is available to Microsoft Enterprise and Partner Group
(EPG) customers signing a new Windows Azure Enterprise Agreement with an
annual commitment of $50,000 USD or more and is valid now through June
30, 2014. The global promotion includes free unlimited device licensing,
unlimited licensing for optional network caches, vault set-up, and 24/7
support from EVault’s team of data
protection experts. EVault has been supporting cloud-connected backup
and recovery services on Windows Azure since October 2010.
“While working with Microsoft, we’ve been able to provide organizations
around the world flexible and cost-effective solutions that both protect
critical information and scale over time to meet their unique needs,”
said Terry Cunningham, president and general manager, EVault. “Our
successful relationship has already benefited many joint customers, and
we look forward to offering more of our cloud-connected services on the
Windows Azure platform in this coming year.”
Distributed workforces depend on a variety of connections to be
productive. For the organization, this increases the chance of data loss
and diminishes corporate data visibility. EVault Endpoint Protection
simplifies data recovery in case of employee turnover, equipment
upgrades and the handling of lost devices, while providing businesses
with efficient, centralized data recovery and data loss prevention
controls. It automatically synchronizes data to the customer’s instance
of Windows Azure.
“With this special offer, new Windows Azure customers gain additional
protection by backing up the data that resides on endpoint devices
connected to the Windows Azure cloud,” said Kim Akers, General Manager,
Developer and Platform Evangelism, Microsoft Corp. “Our relationship
with EVault helps us provide our customers with greater capacity and
flexibility to mitigate a wide range of endpoint data protection risks.”
