Are you an ISP, ASP, MSP or HSP? SwapDrive is pleased to announce the availability of its bundled backup, storage and file delivery solutions specifically tailored for the XSP markets. As part of the SwapDrive Provider Network (SPN), you can now offer advanced web-based file storage services to your customers without allocating resources and capital expenditures associated with building it yourself.

A recent Gartner Group survey found that online data backup was a service that 40% of IT managers would buy for their systems and users. SwapDrive's Online Backup services can be rebranded and offered directly for your XSP service.

SwapDrive offers its users an assortment of complementary technologies that include:

SwapDrive Backup - our automated backup tool designed for desktop and laptop computers to save files directly to their SwapDrive accounts.

SwapDrive WhaleMail - online large file delivery solution.

SwapDrive FileShare - a network-like environment that makes files and folders accessible over the Internet.

PDA and wireless access - turns wireless devices into remote control units allowing users to access and send files over the Internet.

Security and efficiency - file compression and encryption prior to transfer ensure that user files are always secure and efficiently transferred.

At SwapDrive, we apply a 'Defense in Depth' security model, which is another way of saying we look at security from many different perspectives. These include:

Strong Factor Authentication - goes beyond simple password authentication to ensure only those authorized have access to their information.

Encryption - SSL, FTPS or Triple - DES, preventing interception by an unauthorized person.

Firewall - information is protected behind a cutting-edge firewall technology and managed 24x7 by a dedicated security monitoring team.

Privacy Assurance - strict internal controls and policies ensure that data is secure and accessible only by those authorized.

Redundant Data Storage - each file stored is copied on Telco grade disk drive systems and double backed up to tape, making data loss virtually impossible.

Files can be accessed using SwapDrive's intuitive web interface (Netscape and Internet Explorer compliant), Microsoft's Web-Folders (Win2K), or any FTP client software.

Storage is priced on a per-gigabyte, per-month basis with significant discounts available for blocks of storage in excess of 10 gigabytes. SwapDrive offers two pricing models to make these features available to your customers:

Option 1 -Purchase a block of space from SwapDrive and resell it to your customers. The advantages of this model are: you can oversell your space and realize 100% margins on a portion of your accounts.

Option 2 -Refer interested parties to SwapDrive and receive compensation on a revenue-sharing basis. This pass-through option is intended for entities that prefer not to commit to a block of space.
