Kordia Joins Asigra Partner Ecosystem to Deliver Backup and Recovery Services

Before digital technology became widely available, if there was ever a disaster at a particular location, the recovery process was slow and very expensive. Even though there were mechanisms in place to store sensitive documents off-site, the possibility these facilities could suffer the same fate was very real. But digital technology now makes it possible to implement backup and recovery solutions in place at multiple locations to ensure availability at all times. One of the companies that makes this possible is Asigra Inc., a cloud backup, recovery and restore software provider since 1986.

The company announced Kordia, a telecommunications provider based in New Zealand, has become part of the partner ecosystem to deliver backup and recovery services powered by the Asigra Cloud Backup software platform. Because backup and recovery services are an essential component of today’s digital ecosystem, Kordia will be well positioned to start providing the service to its customers as part of its overall telecommunications solutions.

According to Asigra, it was chosen because it provides an agentless, multi-tenant architecture and secure, enterprise-class platform built for IT services. Kordian will be deploying the Asigra Cloud Backup software within its core network to offer medium to large enterprise businesses data recovery services on demand.

The enterprise-class data protection platform manages and protects organizations with a solution that can be seamlessly integrated without any agent needing to be installed on backup targets. Instead it uses industry standard programming interfaces over the network to back up operating systems, file systems, and applications. Additionally it provides an end-to-end protection of all computing infrastructure, including physical, virtual, cloud and mobile computing environments.

 “Medium and large enterprises present special challenges to backup service platforms that lack the capacity to scale without disrupting business operations or the ability to securely protect information in a compliant manner,” said Eran Farajun, Executive Vice President, Asigra. “Our software was designed for managed service providers facing these challenges and provides the reliability, scalability and security required to ensure data availability.
