When Vembu issued a white paper discussing the current trend in MSP models, CRN.com found it threatening to the entire MSP system and declared that Vembu defied its customer base. But that couldn’t be any farther from the truth.
It is our understanding after extensive research that MSPs and their onsite backup storage offerings is definitely on its way out. Reacting quickly to this swing in IT, Vembu has invited MSPs, who were once customers, to become our partners.
This slight shift in relationship means that MSPs can now make use of SaaS (software as a service) and generate additional revenue from VAS (value-added services).
Hard as it may be to swallow, the storage landscape is rapidly transforming and will eventually render current MSP models obsolete. Instead of fighting it, Vembu decided to reinvent itself by changing course and focus on cloud based storage services. The result is the Vembu BDR- quite simply the most user-friendly backup software ever built.
When a company changes its strategy, it must take its customer base into consideration. During the transition period, changes in revenue will be marginal. But do expect significant cuts in cost expenditure on server maintenance, tightened security measures and reduced manpower. You will also benefit from military grade security and can have cloned data stored in different regional zones. This assures business continuity and guarantees safe retention of critical data.
Vembu is all about empowering our customers through education, sharing trends and vital information so that they may make informed purchase decisions based on their business requirements.

Virtualization and business continuity ride heavily on cloud-based storage services.The cloud is moving and the clock is ticking. It is time for MSPs to carve their path for the future. Vembu awaits.
