 Formed to focus on interoperability, solutions, best practices, and standards requirements.
The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) has announced the formation of its Cloud Backup and Restore Special Interest Group (Cloud BUR SIG) to further the cloud backup and restore industry by educating the marketplace and driving demand for solutions and services.
The Cloud Backup and Restore SIG is a project of SNIA’s Cloud Storage Initiative (CSI) that promotes the adoption of cloud storage as a new delivery model that provides elastic, on-demand storage billed only for what is used.
The new group will create best practices and conduct surveys to educate the industry through collaboration with end users, the channel, analysts and cloud backup and restore vendors. It will consist of standing committees on marketing, education, end-user liaison, channel relations, international relations and more.
Founding members of the Cloud BUR SIG include cloud backup and recovery platform vendor, Asigra, who will chair the group as well as prominent cloud backup platform and service providers from around the world, including NetApp, i365, CoreVault, TeraSky, EVS, Terremark Worldwide, HMK and Recovery Networks.
