AUSTIN, TX – December 04, 2014 — /BackupReview.info/ — Spanning Cloud Apps LLC, an EMC company and a leading provider of cloud data protection, today announced its enterprise-grade cloud-to-cloud backup solution for Office 365. It is designed from the ground up to be fully functional on desktops, tablets and mobile devices, allowing users to access information whenever and wherever they work. This marks the latest expansion of Spanning’s product offering, through which the company will bring the same application-centric focus and backup and restore expertise to Office 365 that it has for Google Apps and Salesforce solutions. The product will be first available through an exclusive beta program and is expected to be generally available in the first half of 2015.
“We are seeing a rapid adoption of and migration to Office 365, and we are also seeing data protection for cloud application data becoming more important than ever,” said Jeff Erramouspe, CEO of Spanning. “A mobile and collaborative work environment opens the door for increased user error and other data issues. As Microsoft customers move to the cloud in droves, they now can do so without worry, knowing they can implement the industry’s most trusted cloud-to-cloud backup to help ensure they are protected from data loss and are compliant with industry regulations and requirements.”
This new data protection solution for Office 365, one of the fastest growing services offered by Microsoft today, represents Spanning’s dedication to minimizing the risk of moving to the cloud. It is designed to enable organizations of all sizes to foster collaboration and work from anywhere with additional protection from data loss and non-compliance because of hackers, system and sync malfunction or human error.
“Corporate data is corporate data, regardless of whether it resides on datacenter servers or cloud-services – and it needs to be protected,” said Jason Buffington, senior analyst at ESG. “With organizations of all sizes moving to Office 365 at a rapid pace, it is critical that the same rigor for data protection that IT places on datacenter data is also applied to cloud-based data – and folks need to understand that most SaaS solutions don’t do protection, preservation or retention, just availability. Bad or missing data halts productivity, so what Spanning technology does is critical to minimizing risk of data loss in this application.”
Spanning® Backup for Office 365 is engineered to give IT administrators and end users a simple way to find and restore lost data from any point in time, from any device.
Spanning Backup for Office 365 will be designed to deliver features including:
