Enhancing the Bottom Line for MSPs with Pivot3 and Veeam

Through Pivot3’s partnership with Veeam, the innovative provider of solutions that deliver Availability for the Always-On Enterprise™, service providers will have access to greater robust backup capabilities in ROBO environments, as well as an easy, simple and transparent Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering. DRaaS presents an incredible opportunity for service providers to support end-user organizations that lack a secondary datacenter.
