Assured Data Protection Partners with AVANT

Assured Data Protection, a leading provider of IT managed services specializing in cloud data protection, has recently announced a strategic partnership with AVANT, a notable Technology Services Distributor (TSD). This collaboration is set to redefine the landscape of managed services by integrating Assured’s innovative data backup, disaster recovery (DR), and cyber resiliency solutions into AVANT's offerings.

A Strategic Move for Both Companies

This partnership marks a significant advancement for both Assured and AVANT, who aim to leverage each other's expertise to unlock new markets and growth opportunities. Under this agreement, AVANT will provide access to cutting-edge technologies including Roobrik and Nutanix, facilitating their deployment as a service. This move not only broadens AVANT's technology portfolio but also strengthens Assured's position as a vital player in the cloud data protection arena.

Drew Lydecker, Co-founder and President of AVANT, highlighted the essence of the partnership, stating that it enhances their ability to offer end customers vital cyber resiliency tools delivered as managed services. The alliance allows AVANT to effectively extend their operational capabilities, positioning them as an invaluable extension of their clients' IT teams. By integrating innovative technologies, they aim to educate customers and equip them with world-class solutions tailored to their specific needs.

The Role of Trusted Advisors

AVANT’s distinguishing feature in the technology distribution space is its Trusted Advisor ecosystem. Trusted Advisors are impartial consultants dedicated to employing the company’s extensive resources to guide clients through their technology decisions. They emphasize solving business challenges rather than merely promoting products, fostering long-term relationships based on trust.

This ecosystem is further empowered by AVANT’s proprietary Pathfinder platform, which optimizes knowledge sharing and client engagement. Pathfinder accelerates the research and proposal processes, enhancing transparency in consultations and elevating the overall client experience.

Enhanced Services for AVANT Customers

The collaboration will allow AVANT's clientele to benefit from two leading cyber resiliency technologies:

1. Rubrik Security Cloud as-a-Service: This fully managed service will encompass everything from design and implementation to recovery and proactive support. Based on Rubrik’s Zero Trust Data Security model, it aims to bolster organizations against cyber threats and operational disruptions, ensuring business resilience.

2. Nutanix Disaster Recovery as-a-Service: Offering a pioneering backup and DR solution, this service doesn't require customers to invest in facilities or hardware. Instead, it optimizes Nutanix disaster recovery solutions, catering to diverse workloads and recovery speed requirements across over 70 countries.

Vincent Gatti, Channel Chief of Americas at Assured Data Protection, expressed enthusiasm over the partnership, recognizing AVANT as a powerhouse in the TSD space, driven by innovation. He emphasized that this partnership will provide an expansive opportunity to bring world-class solutions to AVANT’s clients, a crucial aspect of Assured’s growth strategy in the Americas.
