Released in January, Future Protect is a bespoke adapted data protection service that enables users to tap into Future Hosting’s geographically dispersed servers, even if their website is hosted with another provider.

The service enables the user’s data to be backed up in numerous locations world-wide. The information is backed up every six hours and stored encrypted at a Future Hosting backup location in North America or Europe.

As an R1Soft Hosting Partner, Future Hosting can now exploit and promote its pioneering backup service more rapidly. It will furthermore have access to volume licensing discounts on R1Soft software, savings it can pass on to customers.

“Joining the R1Soft Hosting Partner Program is the next natural step as we continue to pursue more aggressive implementation of our award-winning Future Protect data protection service,” says Vik Patel, Future Hosting president and CEO. “We see R1Soft as a long term partner of our company, and we look forward to utilizing their innovative software to provide an added level of protection for our customers.”

To promote sales, R1Soft says it will supply sales tools, sales programs, pre-qualified leads and marketing collateral to assist partners to secure deals and maximise overall sales. Partners will be able to leverage the program’s Partner Portal, offering a library of product datasheets, white papers, promotional handouts, case studies and Internet marketing tools, together with an online pricing calculator that illustrates how R1Soft products exploit ROI and are less expensive than the competition, says the company.

Nick Futter, VP of channel development at R1Soft stated “We have always worked closely with select selected added resellers and distributors to deliver high performance continuous data protection solutions and services to customers across all major industry verticals and territories. We created our channel partner program to provide channel partners with the tools and support they need to quickly and effectively bring R1Soft products to market as part of comprehensive solutions that meet their customers’ business needs.”

Last week, Future Hosting deployed Future Protect, an uninterrupted data protection technology powered by R1Soft.
