CRN Names StorageCraft ShadowXafe a Finalist for 2020 Tech Innovator Award

• CRN Tech Innovator Awards celebrate the year’s most innovative products and services in the IT channel
• ShadowXafe recognized for being a game-changing data protection offering for solution providers

DRAPER, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StorageCraft^®, whose mission is to protect all data and ensure its constant availability, today announced that it has been named a finalist in the 2020 CRN Tech Innovator Awards by CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company. StorageCraft was recognized for its ShadowXafe™ next-generation data protection software in the Cloud Data Protection / Disaster Recovery category.

The annual award program honors innovative vendors in the IT channel across 49 technology categories, in key areas ranging from cloud to security to storage to networking. CRN editors assessed hundreds of vendor products along multiple criteria, including uniqueness, key capabilities, technological competency, and addressing customer needs.

Finalist ShadowXafe delivers industry-leading system and data recovery options, enterprise-level scalability, and a workflow optimized for management simplicity, all from its cloud-based OneSystem^® management platform. This centralized management platform enables ShadowXafe to coexist with the new OneXafe^® Solo™ backup appliance, meaning StorageCraft channel partners can mix and match data protection software and appliance deployments for customers. In doing so, partners easily create a properly fitted backup and disaster recovery solution for each customer that they oversee from a single pane of glass.

Being able to provide a solution to every customer from within the unified StorageCraft technology stack instantly extends a partner’s market and revenue potential while also increasing operational efficiency and reducing costs. As customer environments grow, ShadowXafe scales with ease, integrates tightly with StorageCraft Cloud Services for DRaaS, and is optional with OneXafe scale-out NAS storage deployment (for storing backups), thus providing more revenue opportunities.
