Dropsuite and interworks.cloud Team to Offer Data Protection Throughout the Eurozone

Office 365 resellers and their business customers will now be able to protect their data with Dropsuite's cloud backup and archiving solutions.

SAN JOSE, CALIF. (PRWEB) OCTOBER 31, 2018

Dropsuite Limited (ASX: DSE), a leading cloud data backup platform for businesses, is proud to announce that it has entered into a partnership with interworks.cloud, an end-to-end provisioning and automation platform for quick and effective management of cloud businesses. Dropsuite's backup, archiving and recovery solutions have been provisioned into interworks.cloud so that Office 365 data (Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams) data can be protected in just a few clicks.

Through this integration, interworks.cloud’s customers will be able to:

• Bundle Dropsuite backup and archiving with Office 365
• Provide a GDPR compliant email archiving solution
• Protect email data against cyber attacks and data loss
• Increase client retention, satisfaction and peace of mind
• Boost a reseller's monthly recurring revenue and ARPU

In an increasingly hostile cyber environment, today's businesses are forced to move at a frenetic pace dictated in part by rogue employees, hackers and other nefarious characters looking to infiltrate, destroy, steal or hold data hostage. According to Cisco's 2018 Annual Cybersecurity Report, ransomware attacks are growing more than 350 percent annually. And 71 percent of all targeted cyber attacks start with email phishing, according to the 2018 Internet Security Threat Report by Symantec.

“The Dropsuite/interworks.cloud integration enables Cloud Distributors and Service Providers to easily offer email backup, email archiving, data recovery and compliance solutions to resellers and their end-customers,” said Tasos Tsipidis, Product Owner at interworks.cloud. “interworks.cloud platform users can safeguard their Office 365 data while earning solid margins. With cyber threats on the rise, adding Dropsuite to our cloud portfolio is a win-win for all.”

“There is no question that safeguarding Office 365 data provides lasting benefits to business health, and I'm excited interworks.cloud partners will now have access to Dropsuite's data protection solutions,” said Ridley Ruth, COO of Dropsuite. “This strategic partnership means resellers can put data first, with automated backup and archiving capabilities that can tackle any recovery challenge.”

Data sovereignty is critical for many European businesses. Dropsuite's local European data centers within Amazon Web Services allow customers to store Office 365 backup and archived data locally for performance, legal, or preference reasons.
