Doyenz Named One of Top “20 Coolest Cloud Storage Vendors” by Everything Channel’s CRN

Doyenz “ShadowCloud” Platform Delivers True Business Continuity to the SMB

BELLEVUE, Wash. Feb. 09, 2010 –(BUSINESS WIRE)–Doyenz, Inc., today announced that Everything Channel’s CRN has named the Doyenz ShadowCloud™ one of the “100 Coolest Cloud Computing Products.” The Top 100 Cloud Computing products include 20 storage vendors, including Doyenz. A recent recipient of the IDC 2009 award for Excellence in the SMB, the Doyenz ShadowCloud is a cloud-based managed service platform that enables SMB IT Service Providers to leverage virtualization and automation to deliver rapid, reliable and affordable business continuity to their SMB clients.

Sold exclusively through the SMB channel, the Doyenz ShadowCloud takes Microsoft Windows servers offsite where backup images can be rapidly restored to provide disaster recovery as a hosted service, until production is back on-line. The backup images can also be restored to enable safe testing, patching, upgrading, or migrations in a “sandbox” test lab environment. This gives IT Service Providers an economical and easy way to ensure client server uptime and the safety of business-critical data and systems.

Physical servers or virtual machines can be uploaded into the ShadowCloud, and IT Services Providers can quickly restore their client’s production to a physical or virtual environment. Doyenz enables their partners to take full advantage of virtualization and cloud services safely, quickly, and easily, without any hardware to buy or people to train.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by CRN as one of the top 20 coolest vendors in the cloud storage space,” said Ashutosh Tiwary, President and CEO of Doyenz. “We’ve strived from the beginning to enable our partners to take advantage of virtualization and cloud services so that they can provide their SMB clients with the same quality of backup and disaster recovery of an enterprise-grade solution, but at a significantly lower cost and complexity.”

The list was based on nominations from Solution Providers rating technology, channel influence, effectiveness and visibility along with business and sales impact. The final selections were made by a panel of Everything Channel Editors. Winners were announced online at www.Channelweb.com and will be featured in the January 25 issue of CRN.
