16 Hot Cloud Offerings That Can Boost Channel Opportunities

Intronis Office 365 Backup

Intronis, a Chelmsford, Mass.-based data protection software developer, showed off its new offering for backing up data specific to Microsoft Office 365. The application helps solution providers and managed service providers protect customers against ransomware, viruses and other e-mail attacks, said Erin Crawley, the company's event marketing manager.

Gerry Texeira, senior product manager, said the offering is unique in its ability to intercept attacks on cloud-based e-mail. "Whenever an email comes in, it's analyzed for attachments, phishing and spoofing anomalies," Texeira told CRN. "If it's OK, the e-mail passes."

Also, unlike Microsoft's own backup solution, Intronis offers regulatory and compliance backups with the ability to archive e-mails and search e-mail boxes all in the cloud, he said.
