Hyderabad: OpenText Cybersecurity has launched Carbonite cloud-to-cloud backup in India, empowering organizations to safeguard critical business data stored on third-party SaaS applications like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Google Workspace, Dropbox, or Box.
According to a press release from the company, this new offering delivers comprehensive backup and recovery services housed in a local data center in Mumbai. This setup aims to minimize latency concerns while ensuring compliance with data sovereignty regulations.
“Thus far, 2024 has been a challenging year for companies in India and globally. Organizational data privacy practices are under scrutiny, prompting customers to enforce stricter mandates on their data. This trend is further accelerated by the India Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDPA), which is reshaping how businesses manage, secure, and safeguard their data across devices, networks, cloud applications, and platforms. Through collaboration with our network of partners, cloud-to-cloud backup empowers MSPs to offer their clients local data backup and restoration capabilities. This approach helps end-users mitigate data privacy risks without compromising on speed,” said Steve Stavridis, Regional Vice President of APAC at OpenText Cybersecurity.
Only 13% of IT professionals are currently aware of their responsibility to back up data on third-party SaaS applications during cloud transformation initiatives. This highlights an opportunity for channel partners and cloud service providers to educate their clients about the shared responsibility model, thereby enhancing data resilience in alignment with India’s government Data Protection Policy.
Carbonite Cloud-to-Cloud Backup facilitates rapid restoration of SaaS data, thereby minimizing the impact of data loss. Its user-friendly, automated, and secure SaaS backup solution enhances cyber resilience and significantly improves recovery time objectives. MSPs can offer their clients key benefits such as daily backups, unlimited storage and retention, dependable customer support, and recovery options from any point in time.
The escalating demand and expansion have prompted OpenText Cybersecurity to establish ten data centers globally, including locations in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The data centers in the APAC region are ISO 27001 certified with complete redundancy (S3 to Glacier) and comply with HIPAA and GDPR standards, providing partners and clients with confidence in the security of their data.
“With the rapid evolution of cyber threats and technology, businesses increasingly rely on service providers to establish robust frameworks for data resilience. Channel partners recognize these security challenges and are committed to providing clients with the necessary tools to protect and recover their data stored on third-party SaaS applications. This approach allows customers to maintain control over their data while ensuring compliance,” added Stavridis.
