A backup-hardware maker is now embracing the cloud as part of its offering for disaster recovery. Users of ExaGrid backup appliances can now choose ATScloud's Disaster Recovery service for a remote copy of their backed-up data instead of maintaining a separate ExaGrid device or a tape system. In case their primary backup appliance fails or can't be reached in a disaster, those customers will be able to get their data back from ATScloud over the Internet or in a shipped appliance.
