** Main Story**

In today’s rapidly evolving world of data protection, standing still simply isn’t an option, and Assured Data Protection (Assured) clearly understands that. As a leading managed service provider (MSP) specializing in cloud data protection, they’ve just announced the launch of their ‘Innovation Team.’ And, let me tell you, this initiative signals a serious commitment to pushing the boundaries of disaster recovery (DR), backup, and cyber resiliency. It’s about incorporating cutting-edge tech, ensuring they remain a leader in this critical field.

Spearheading Innovation: It’s All About Strategic Partnerships

Leading this charge is Tony Giannini, an IT service sector veteran. You see, his extensive experience is precisely what’s needed to guide the team in identifying and implementing technologies that offer real value to Assured’s clients. It’s not just about the current Rubrik-based offering, it’s about proactively staying ahead in a tech landscape that seems to change daily. I remember one time, working on a project where we stuck to what we knew, rather than exploring other solutions – we ended up being left behind. Assured are clearly not planning on doing that.

The Innovation Team’s first big move? A partnership with Nutanix, a major player in hybrid-cloud computing. This collaboration aims to deliver a truly innovative backup and DR solution, proving the team’s focus on practical solutions that meet the changing needs of customers. This partnership, in particular, really highlights Assured’s commitment to building strategic alliances and enhancing their services.

Nutanix DRaaS: A Game Changer?

The Nutanix Disaster Recovery as-a-Service (DRaaS), delivered by Assured, offers businesses compelling value, especially those looking for robust data protection but without the huge capital outlay. It basically removes the need to invest in dedicated facilities or hardware, which streamlines Nutanix disaster recovery solutions. And, what’s more, with global coverage spanning over 70 countries, businesses worldwide can benefit from this offering. It’s an amazing step forward.

That said, the integration of Nutanix replication with traditional data protection strategies also allows customers to take a more tiered approach to data protection. What does this mean? Well, businesses can prioritize workloads by aligning recovery speed with the criticality of their applications. For less critical workloads, customers can leverage cost-effective solutions, and, accomodate longer recovery times, and point capabilities. This tiered approach gives businesses an important chance to optimize their data protection strategy, and manage costs effectively – which is essential in the current climate.

Building on Success, Expanding Horizons. Where to next?

The formation of the Innovation Team marks a significant point in Assured’s growth. Stacy Hayes, EVP of Americas at Assured Data Protection, emphasizes the importance of this initiative. Building on the solid foundation established with Rubrik, the Innovation Team will enrich Assured’s data protection services.

Furthermore, the expansion into new technologies complements Assured’s existing services. And, as a result, a comprehensive suite of solutions caters to a wider range of customer requirements. This positions Assured for continued growth and global expansion, reinforcing their commitment to cutting-edge data protection services. The Innovation Team is actively exploring ways to deepen and expand the partnership with Nutanix and other potential collaborators. It really makes you think; what could they achieve with this?

The Future is Data Protection

Assured’s proactive approach, evident through the Innovation Team and the Nutanix partnership, demonstrates their commitment to providing the most advanced and effective data protection solutions available. With data becoming ever more critical to business, and, lets be honest, its not going to be less critical in the future, Assured’s focus on innovation positions them as a leader in protecting this valuable asset. This future-focused strategy not only benefits Assured’s customers but also solidifies their position as a key player in the data protection industry.
