Solution provider partners now have the ability to help their customers, especially distributed companies or those with mobile workers, shield critical data from disasters by incorporating PC Data Backup with a range of affordable options suited for small and mid-market businesses, says Verio. Customers will receive a robust service that automatically backs up and restores business files and data in mirrored offsite, secure data center facilities, improving data availability while reducing recovery costs.

"Data loss is a top issue for small and medium businesses and we felt it key to equip our partners with a simple, effective and affordable data backup solution for their customers," says Jim Ciampaglio, senior director of the viaVerio Partner Program for Verio. "With this announcement, our partners have the ability to provide Verio's PC Data Backup business continuity solution to help protect their customers' businesses from data loss due to hard disk drive failure, data corruption, virus infections or accidental deletion and continue on a path toward growth online."

Last week, Verio was selected as a finalist in the Best Customer Service Organization category of the 2007 American Business Awards.
