“We’re thrilled to be offering Veeam Cloud Connect as part of our SmartCLOUD(TM) BRR service suite,” said Daniel Kwong, Senior Vice President, Information Technology and Security Services for CITIC Telecom CPC. “Backups really have never been easier and mastering the crucial “3-2-1 rule” of keeping three copies of data, on two types of media, with one copy being offsite is more achievable and affordable than ever before, leveraging CITIC Telecom CPC’s cloud service centres in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan.”

CITIC Telecom CPC first partnered with Veeam in 2012 for its SmartCLOUD(TM) BRR Cloud to Cloud Backup & Replication solution. And now, through the VCP program, CITIC Telecom CPC is able to further deliver Virtual to Cloud services with premium features and functionality across offsite backups, complete visibility control, modern backup architecture as well as end-to-end encryption that promise to help customers avoid the risk of catastrophic and detrimental business data loss. In addition, customers can also enjoy these benefits through a more financially efficient OPEX model – allowing for unlimited times of data transmission and restoration.

One of CITIC Telecom CPC’s SmartCLOUD(TM) BRR customers, Mr. Pedro Ng, Director of Information Technology at Peak Reinsurance Company Limited said, “Our company has been using CITIC Telecom CPC’s SmartCLOUD(TM) BRR services since 2013 and I am particularly impressed by its fast backup speed. Compared with legacy backup solutions, it greatly shortens the backup time with email reports to ensure each backup job is completed successfully. As a company in the BFSI industry, we demand for stringent backup service requirements, and CITIC Telecom CPC’s SmartCLOUD(TM) BRR is a solution that we can rely on.”

In addition to being the first VCP to offer Cloud Connect in Asia Pacific, CITIC Telecom CPC was recently upgraded to Gold Status within Veeam’s Cloud Provider partner program. This award is a result of the long standing partnership between both companies and, CITIC Telecom CPC meeting the VCP gold partner requirements.
