Top Rankings
The website Backupreview.info (the “Reviewer“) a prominent reviewer of online backup and storage technologies and products, published as of December 1, 2015 a list of its top ranked companies in various categories.

Under the category of “SMB”, the Company’s products were compared by the Reviewer to 24 other global SMB providers (including companies such as Zetta, Carbonite Business, ElephantDrive, IASOBackup, and Redstor) where several factors including customer experience, features, functionality, and price were considered. Based on the collective criteria, the Company has been ranked by the Reviewer as the #1 SMB solution provider globally.

Further to this accomplishment, the Company’s products and services were compared and ranked #2 against 24 other cloud backup providers globally in the “Enablers” category. According to the Reviewer “Enablers & Service Providers” are described as companies “who go direct-to-market with online backup services using software developed and owned by them or licensed from other enablers. They may own/host their vaults, but go-to-market ONLY through their wholesale resellers. If they own the software or have the distribution rights for the software, they may license the software to their MSP partners for extending the reach of the market. MSPs can only act as channels for the Enabler or use the software (without branding) for providing services to their clients.” When compared to 24 other global providers, the Company’s products and services were ranked #2 against companies such as Vembu, Intronis, Mozy, Axcient and Acronis.

“With respect to our SMB and ENABLER reviews, Data Deposit Box continually scores well; it is #1 in the SMB and #2 in the Enabler category rankings,” says Mamush Heayie, Founding Analyst at BackupReview.info.

“We are very proud of this published ranking. We have spent considerable effort over the past twelve months to shift our focus to become a Managed Service Provider, Partner and Reseller-Only business and are now beginning to see the market adjust and welcome our new model. The most important part of our strategy is to build a strong and dedicated partner network; one where the partners are supported by Data Deposit Box and in return we provide the best option to generate recurring revenue for our partners. We aim to accomplish this with a service offering full of choice and flexibility supported with a price that supports the SMB budget,” said Troy Cheeseman, the Company’s President and COO.

“For the past twelve plus months, we have focused our global business and strategy into three distinct strategic goals: (i) Build our Partner Only and Reseller-Only channel, (ii) build the Managed Service Provider enabler channel, and (iii) become the End-to-End cloud backup and recovery provider for the SMB globally. In achieving these top rankings in the SMB and Enabler categories on Backup Review, we pleased to see that our efforts are being recognized in the market”, says Tim Jewell, the Company’s CEO.
