OpenText Cybersecurity launches Carbonite Cloud-to-Cloud Backup

OpenText Cybersecurity has introduced Carbonite Cloud-to-Cloud Backup in India. This would enable organisations to protect business-critical data stored on third-party SaaS applications such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Google Workspace, Dropbox or Box.

The new offering provides comprehensive backup and recovery into a local data centre in Mumbai to reduce latency issues while meeting data sovereignty and compliance requirements. Carbonite Cloud-to-Cloud Backup enables quick restore of SaaS data, reducing the impact of data loss.

“We’re seeing customers demand stricter mandates on their data. This is also fuelled by the India Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDPA), where compliance changes how businesses store, secure and protect their data on devices, networks, cloud applications and platforms,” Steve Stavridis, Regional Vice President (APAC) at OpenText Cybersecurity, said.

“Cloud-to-cloud backup enables MSPs (managed services providers) to offer customers the ability to backup and restore data locally. It ensures the end-user is mitigating data privacy concerns without latency,” he said.

As per Stavridis, only 13 percent of IT professionals know they are responsible for backing up their data on third-party SaaS applications during cloud transformation projects.

“This highlights an opportunity for channel partners and cloud service providers to help their customers understand the shared responsibility model that will establish stronger data resiliency while adhering to India’s government Data Protection Policy,” OpenText said in a statement.
