NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Feb. 11, 2015:
CloudBerry Lab™, a vendor of backup and management solutions for public cloud storage services,
today announced OpenStack support for CloudBerry Managed Backup. With this offering, Managed Service Providers (MSPs)
can easily leverage the advantages of OpenStack technology for customer cloud backup. Service providers can now either run their own
OpenStack deployments or use any OpenStack compatible storage provider such as Rackspace, HP
Helion or IBM SoftLayer with the option of running cloud backup via CloudBerry’s Managed Backup offering..
OpenStack Swift allows users to store and retrieve large amounts of data with a simple API. Built for scale
and optimized for durability, availability and concurrency across the entire data set, Swift is ideal for
storing rapidly growing unstructured data sets.
With this update CloudBerry Managed Backup now also includes:
-
Multiple Cloud Storage Accounts Support. CloudBerry now enables MSPs to add multiple
cloud storage back-end providers to their Managed Backup accounts allowing selecting
OpenStack as the main storage, or add it as an additional storage account.
-
Backup History Management from the Control Panel: MSPs can monitor the backup history of
their users directly from the Managed Backup control panel. Providers do not need to use third-
party software (e.g., remote desktop applications, screenshots sharing software, etc.) to
determine the progress of backup plans. Providers can easily manage all their users’ backup
plans from a web interface.
-
Granular Administrative Permissions: MSPs can create sub-admin accounts with limited
permissions in the Managed Backup Services control panel. Providers can specify specific
functions that a sub-admin account could manage, such as creating, editing and dropping users;
managing licenses; managing and deploying backup/restore plans; and controlling billing issues.
“OpenStack allows MSPs to become more agile, reduce costs, and avoid vendor lock-in when it comes to
the cloud,” said Alexey Serkov, CTO at CloudBerry Lab.” CloudBerry has realized that many service
providers would like to leverage the advantages of OpenStack cloud backup, and by supporting
OpenStack for Managed Backup, we now provide the tools MSPs need in order to easily and efficiently
bring OpenStack to their customers and we do so securely with best-in-class encryption.”
