![DattoCon Cybersecurity Event]()
DattoCon Attracts More than 1,000 Partners to One of the World’s Largest Managed Service Provider Focused Events. What’s Big? Your Data!
With Denver as its backdrop, data protection solution provider Datto today announced an exciting new range of products and service upgrades to its business continuity, networking and SaaS Protection product lines, to further support the needs of its 6,000 Managed Service Providers (MSP) partners. The new products support Datto’s ongoing commitment to total data protection, ensuring business data is secure and accessible – no matter where it lives.
Why? Businesses are increasingly dealing with IT disasters, human error, and malicious activity. Data facilitates everything pertinent to core business operations. Unplanned events like natural disasters, technology failures, malicious activity, or user errors will easily impair or even halt operations, resulting in the expense of unplanned downtime. Additionally, let’s not forget the increasing threat of ransomware!

Ransomware cyber criminals can earn $10 million to $50 million per month, with entire ransomware outfits working out of office buildings, creating disruptive pieces of malicious software designed to infiltrate small to medium-sized businesses. Today’s Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR), is based on three key tenets: Protecting data and systems; Redundant copies of data to protect you from ransomware; and Virtual compatibility to recreate IT infrastructure on the fly.

Business Continuity: With the most comprehensive BCDR product lineup available, including devices ranging from 500GB to 120TB, Datto has made updates to both its SIRIS and ALTO products. The completely new SIRIS 3 X Professional line is offered as 4, 8 and 12TB 1U rack-mounted servers. Additionally, the S3X4 all-flash 4TB device joins the S3X1 and S3X2 models released last year. Datto’s most popular device, the ALTO, also received a makeover with new hardware and an SSHD. The new ALTO 3 offers double the performance for local and cloud-based backup and restore than its predecessor and is still available with no upfront charge. Updated SIRIS 3 software includes a new Fast Failback feature that allows MSPs to spin-up a virtual machine (VM) with a rescue agent. This agent forks the initial backup chain, providing restore from any agent recovery point, while requiring significantly less space than alternative solutions and returning business to normal operation faster than competitive alternatives. In addition to reducing business downtime, SIRIS 3 now provides hardware independent restore upon virtualization, additional Cloud VHDx exports and an improved setup process, all designed to maintain Datto’s position as the most reliable BCDR on the market.

Networking: In January, Datto announced their new Datto Networking line, the first networking product line designed from the ground up specifically for MSPs. Today, Datto announced comprehensive updates across the line including QoS, Layer 7 Deep Packet Inspection, expanded VoIP support and cloud management capabilities to the existing edge router, access points and switches. Datto also introduced an extension to the networking portfolio with the planned release of an intelligent, cloud managed power strip including an embedded access point. Datto Managed Power will enable MSPs to more effectively manage their customer environments with features such as remote power cycling of individual outlets, scheduled reboots, reporting outlet wattage and more.
