You know, protecting the data is the first thing that the clients are looking for. We uncovered Cove, and we went through the normal evaluation process from a technical perspective, and our technical folks were enamored with the product, absolutely enamored with it. We took a look at what Cove could do, and it was kind of a no-brainer to switch over to Cove. Is Cove a fantastic thing? Does it have the technology nailed? Of course it does. Is it great at compression and DDU, and is it great at managing version history? Yes, all those things. All the things you would expect a best-in-class backup solution to do. Yeah, we recovered that client entirely from the cloud, you know, on the Hyper-V server, load recovery console, kicked it off, and it was, yeah, 90 minutes later that server was up, running, and booted.

TL;DR

  • MSP technical teams were immediately impressed with Cove during evaluation, describing the product as compelling enough to make switching a straightforward decision.
  • Cove delivers expected best-in-class backup capabilities including compression, deduplication, and version history management that technical teams require.
  • Real-world disaster recovery proves effective, with one MSP restoring an entire client server from cloud backup in 90 minutes using Cove's recovery console.
