NAS fortified with ECR

Sphere 3D has enhanced its widely deployed Snap family of on-premise and Cloud storage products with Encrypted Continuous Replication (ECR).  Snap ECR™ provides business continuity to SMBs and enterprises with near-zero data loss in the event of an IT failure.  Snap ECR, backed by patent No. 8,296,398 and 8,856,233, is a highly secure, continuous replication solution that replicates only changed data at wire speed, thereby providing bandwidth savings, and ensuring that data is always protected even during peak usage hours. Moreover, it provides secure and encrypted data transmission across the network, therefore eliminating the need for a VPN.

Snap ECR augments Snap EDR™ (Enterprise Data Replication) which replicates data across multiple platforms and tends to be scheduled during off peak hours by IT managers.  With the combination of these two replication offerings, IT departments can have ultra-secure data storage that reduces network bandwidth and provides near zero data loss business continuity for a broad range of workloads, including those consisting of millions of files.  As with all Snap products, it is backed by the company’s OverlandCare 24 hours a day x 7 days a week x 365 days a year technical support.  Snap ECR also augments the newest offerings within the Snap family of products, including the newly released SnapSync™ enterprise-class file synchronization and sharing solution that was announced on March 30^th, (see press release at http://bit.ly/1ZnCUjM) to give enterprises and SMBs a truly robust and secure data storage solution.

“At Sphere 3D, we pride ourselves on providing some of the best data storage solutions in the industry, while continuing to innovate to make them even better,” commented Sibrina Shafique, director of Snap product line management. “Our Snap ECR is an example of the technical innovation that has made our Snap product line a leader for years. With some of the most secure and efficient replication capabilities in the industry, and always on data synchronization, we are able to provide customers any time data access from any device, securely and efficiently.’”

“Our institutional bank clientele require the most reliable and robust data storage solution in the industry,” said Dave Anderson, director of technical support services at Modern Banking Systems and authorized reseller of Overland Storage’s SnapServer NAS products for the past ten years.  “Sphere 3D continues to gives me peace of mind, as I know I am offering best-in-breed solutions that are future proofed as my banking customers grow and evolve their businesses.  The latest SnapECR and SnapSync along with OverlandCare 24x7x365 support make the Snap family even more desirable. ”
