TORONTO – September 25, 2007 – Asigra Inc., the technology leader in agentless backup and recovery software for enterprises and service providers targeting the growing managed storage services market, and XiloCore LLC today announced a new suite of business continuity solutions designed exclusively for VARs and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in the U.S. and Canada.

Available now, the new XiloCore mutli-faceted offerings, which integrate Asigra’s backup service software platform Televaulting™, enable resellers to deliver data archiving solutions through the use of tiered storage strategies, as well as provide small and medium businesses (SMBs) with service level agreements, recovery point objectives and recovery time objectives (RTO) that, until now, were only been available to large, enterprise customers. The offerings are reasonably priced to deliver affordable enterprise quality storage solutions to SMBs that have 10-to-200 users. In addition, VARs and MSPs can re-brand XiloCore’s business continuity offerings and resell them as part of their existing services portfolio.

By using XiloCore, VARs and MSPs are now able to offer data protection services using agentless, tapeless vaulting solutions. XiloCore’s delivery of quick restoration and recovery of data at the client location provides full disaster recovery/business continuity with rapid RTO in the event of a catastrophic event to meet and exceed strict customer requirements. These innovations provide fast local virtualization and recovery at the client location, and bring clients several offsite business continuity options to choose from.

“XiloCore’s SMB-ready business continuity solutions provide the technology VARs and MSPs need to keep their clients’ networks available and data protected,” said Alan McDonald, president, XiloCore. “The powerful combination of XiloCore and Asigra technologies allows VARs to bring a unique and meaningful business solution to their customers that further differentiates their services and adds more value. By teaming with XiloCore, channel partners gain a huge competitive advantage and are able to proactively address one of the most pressing business challenges facing today’s SMBs.”

According to recent research by IDC , “Enterprises’ insatiable appetite for cost savings continue to propel growth in managed services… Enterprises are recognizing that a managed services engagement not only leads to cost savings but also gives them access to technology that enables them to transform their IT infrastructure that can drive productivity and increase their business competitiveness.”

As a channel-exclusive company, XiloCore provides its partners with a number of marketing, sales and technical support offerings including an ROI calculator that can be used to calculate a prospect’s or client’s dependency and cost to run a tape environment, how-to videos, end-user presentations, and webinars. XiloCore also offers partners access to strategic consulting on how to best position business continuity and disaster recovery offerings to potential customers, as well as technical training and customizable documents such as sales sheets and brochures that can be re-branded.
