Benefits of Cloud IBR for MSPs
Cloud IBR offers a fully automated backup recovery SaaS platform, making disaster recovery straightforward and cost-effective. The platform is designed for simplicity, allowing users to onboard in about 27 minutes and initiate recovery with a single click. Comprehensive reporting provides detailed insights for each recovery test, which can be used for auditing and demonstrating compliance with disaster recovery policies. Moreover, the service is priced competitively, making it accessible for small to medium businesses (SMBs) and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Technical Overview and Setup Process
Integration with Veeam and Wasabi or Backblaze object storage is seamless with Cloud IBR. It works by taking Veeam backups stored in object storage and restoring them into an ESXi environment. The fully automated process sets up physical dedicated servers, a Veeam server, Windows server, ESXi hosts, and Linux firewalls with port mappings. Users can choose the frequency of recovery tests (daily, weekly, monthly) and initiate tests as needed, especially after major configuration changes.
The management portal is user-friendly, allowing MSPs to manage their customers, send invites, run recoveries, and view detailed reports. Additionally, MSPs can white-label the reports and portal to align with their branding, providing a customized experience for their clients.
Customer Success Stories and Real-World Applications
Tom May shared his positive experience with Cloud IBR during the webinar, highlighting its ease of use and the immediate value it provided in ensuring reliable backups and recovery processes. He emphasized the platform’s role in helping MSPs pass third-party audits and providing proof of robust disaster recovery practices.
The detailed testing reports from Cloud IBR are also valuable for insurance providers, helping to lower premiums and demonstrate effective ransomware protection measures. These real-world applications and success stories underline the platform’s practical benefits and effectiveness.
