Through Axient's integration, with Quest Software's PacketTrap, division, MSPs can add the management, monitoring, and tracking of all Axcient backup, continuity, and recovery events to the centralized PacketTrap MSP remote monitoring console.
Axcient, a provider of data backup, business continuity and
disaster recovery services for managed service providers and
their small and midsize business customers, announced a partnership and
product integration with PacketTrap, a division of Quest Software, and
a provider of remote monitoring and management solutions built for
MSPs. Through this new integration, PacketTrap MSPs can now add the
management, monitoring and tracking of all Axcient backup, continuity
and recovery events, including alerts, notifications and status
reports, to the centralized PacketTrap MSP remote monitoring console.
"We are excited about our integration with Axcient," said Matt Bolton,
DVP of product management for Quest Software. "We have heard the
increasing demand from MSPs for an easy-to-manage, reliable backup and
recovery service and feel that the combination of the PacketTrap MSP
remote management and monitoring platform with Axcient's total data
protection and business continuity service offers MSPs the solution
they've been looking for."
Justin Moore, founder and CEO of Axcient, said with the accelerating
growth of data in SMB environments, managed service providers are
recognizing the importance of having a robust and comprehensive
solution for protecting their customers' data and applications that
ensures the highest levels of recovery and uptime.
"Axcient's hybrid on-premise and cloud solution offers MSPs the needed
protection, functionality, ease of use and uptime to best serve their
clients, and the PacketTrap integration gives them the flexibility to
manage their Axcient backup service through the same interface they use
to monitor and manage the rest of their clients' network," Moore said.
"Axcient partners are excited about the high-value RMM integration
between Axcient and PacketTrap."
Axcient delivers a hybrid on-premise appliance with backup and business
continuity capabilities combined with its cloud-based disaster recovery
service, all managed through the Web. The pay-as-you-grow service
features no infrastructure, license or software costs, designed to
reduce capital expenditures and minimizing operating expenses for the
MSP and their customers. Axcient protects organizations in a range of
industries, including legal, financial services, health care, design and
creative industries, retail, credit card services, Web-based companies
and education.
In August, the company announced it has completed its Series B funding
of $9 million. Thomvest Ventures led the round and Axcient's existing
investors, Allegis Capital and Peninsula Ventures, also participated.
Axcient's total funding to date is $17 million. Axcient said it planned
to invest the capital in enhancing its suite of data protection
services and expanding its sales and marketing teams.
In conjunction with the Series B funding, Don Butler, managing director
of Thomvest Ventures, joined Axcient's board of directors alongside
current board members Pete Bodine, Steve Lewis, Justin Moore, Thomas T.
van Overbeek and Greg Robinson. "For over a decade Thomvest has been
supporting entrepreneurs and startups that have the potential to
fundamentally disrupt the status quo," said Butler. "Axcient is
establishing a leadership position by challenging and redefining
traditional data protection, and is poised for aggressive growth. I
look forward to working with Justin and his team as the company
continues to build market share."
