- Improved Installation Workflow and Productivity: Enhanced workflows will make it easier for service desk engineers to quickly onboard new environments and complete support tasks with greater efficiency. These enhancements further extend the ShadowControl central monitoring and management console’s value, which provides full visibility into backup jobs’ status, ensuring simple administration and powerful tools to remedy issues before they impact performance.
Shridar Subramanian, CMO and vice president of global product management at StorageCraft said “MSPs and SMBs alike have put their trust in ShadowProtect for over a decade. The enhancements we have made are in direct response to their feedback and allow them to extend the impact and value of ShadowProtect by addressing additional environments for their existing installed base and, for our MSPs, to capture new opportunities.”
