Vembu StoreGrid's Service Provider (SP) Edition is exactly that - an Edition specially built for Service Providers.

The remote backup service market is booming, and customers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to backup their valuable data off-site. At Vembu Technologies, we believe that Service Providers are best suited to offer remote backup services, provided they have the right tools. With StoreGrid SP, your hardware doesn't matter anymore. StoreGrid's flexibility takes care of everything. In fact, even with a simple desktop running as a server, you can get started with remote backups in under 30 minutes!

StoreGrid's SP Edition builds upon months of experience with StoreGrid's other Editions, and incorporates valuable feedback from users and other Service Providers who've put StoreGrid through a battery of tests and environments. Additionally, the Service Provider Edition includes a host of features that are especially relevant to you. Features like:

• Extremely Easy Customer Management

• Remote License Management

• Added levels of Authentication

• Management of Trial Customers and one step conversion to Confirmed Customers

• Extensive reporting from a powerful embedded RDBMS

• Local to Remote Server Migration - a useful feature that recognizes bandwidth problems some of your customers may have, and hence allows for a first 'local' backup followed by incremental backups to your remote server.

• And much more...

So who is a Service Provider?

Very simply, anyone involved in providing IT services to their clients is a Service Provider. Our Service Providers' customers are typically SMBs, mid market companies, and divisions / branch offices of enterprise companies. Some Service Providers may even have Home Users and SoHos as customers.

To further elaborate:

• If you are a Value Added Reseller or a System Integrator, you are a Service Provider!

• If you are an MSP or an ISP, or an XSP for that matter, you are a Service Provider!

• If you wish to provide your customers with a feature packed remote backup service, you are a Service Provider!

• If you're planning on starting an online backup service: well, you're a Service Provider!

Do try out StoreGrid SP! Although 30 minutes can get you up and running, you'll need more time to discover and appreciate all its unique features.
