Storagepipe Solutions, Marketing
Storagepipe provides online backup, disaster recovery, business continuity, email archiving and ediscovery services for companies of all sizes. They have been providing data protection services since 2001.
What unique selling points do you offer?
Storagepipe is one of the oldest online backup companies. Our systems are based on IBM technology, and we offer access to a robust infrastructure that ensures maximum reliability.
Describe the services you offer?
We offer a wide range of services, including online backup, email archiving and even reseller programs.
We also offer solutions that integrate with a wide range of operating systems such as AS400, Linux, Mac, and Windows. This also includes compatibility with enterprise systems such as Exchange, SQL, and Oracle.
Describe your target market?
When we first started in 2001, we mainly targeted large enterprises. Although since then, we've extended our services to include small businesses and personal accounts.
We also offer a white-label online backup partner program for VARS, IT Integrators and other resellers.
How is your company planning for the future?
Right now, we're anticipating a lot of growth as new regulations are forcing companies to become more responsible with their data management policies. Also, SaaS is gaining much more mainstream trust & acceptance now than it had in recent years.
What benefits can you offer your customers?
Storagepipe's systems help companies simplify the process of maintaining regulatory compliance, while automating a lot of redundant and unsafe manual processes. Given that physical media failure and human error are the 2 leading causes of critical data loss, there is a strong incentive to automate data protection using cloud services.
How do you support your customers?
We offer live phone support in case of emergency.
