Online Backup Services Launching SMB-Specific Versions


ITBusinessEdge: Online Backup Services Launching SMB-Specific Versions

Carbonite and SugarSync have both recently introduced SMB versions of their online backup services that include administrative tools, premium support and other features that make them more attractive than similar consumer-oriented services.


“Earlier this month, online backup service Carbonite launched Carbonite Pro, which is an SMB-specific version of its online data backup service. The new offering allows businesses to perform cloud-based back-up of data, but without any per-PC fees. For a monthly fee, businesses purchase storage capacity based on their requirements, which can be shared among as many users or workstations as desired.

As you can expect, Carbonite Pro also includes administrative tools, priority support – everything that a branch office or an SMB office will want to have. As a bonus, the Pro version will also be compatible with external drives. Pricing ranges from $10 for 20GB to $100 for up to 199GB of space; full information on the prices can be obtained here.”
