Bangalore, April 2017 - Parablu, a new-age cloud data protection and management solutions provider, announced the availability of BluVault, a secure endpoint data backup solution for Microsoft OneDrive for business users. The next generation solution enables enterprises to use OneDrive for business as a backup target for the endpoints.

BluVault has a unique integration with Microsoft's OneDrive for business offering. It automatically backs up user data from endpoints to their respective OneDrive for business storage accounts. BluVault works in tandem with Parablu's CASB solution - BluKrypt - which encrypts the data stream using the customer's encryption keys before writing it to the OneDrive cloud - making the security, even more robust. The solution offers a 100 per cent defense from ransomware and other malicious attacks.

The Parablu solution which can be deployed on-premise or hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud, can reduce endpoint backup costs by as much as 70 per cent as compared to existing on-premise or cloud-based solutions. Existing MS Office 365 customers who already have a OneDrive subscription can use the solution without any extra storage cost. The solution is scalable and can effortlessly scale to cover more than 100,000 endpoints.

"OneDrive for business makes it easy to manage your work files, share them and collaborate from any device. Parablu enriches OneDrive for business with customisations for backup, security and scalability enhancing the cloud experience for customers," said Narendra Bhandari, General Manager - Developer Experience and Evangelism, Microsoft India.

Anand Prahlad, CEO, Parablu said, "Enterprises, at just a fraction of their current cost, can now deploy a solution that gives them 100 per cent protection of their data on endpoints, 100 per cent utilisation of their OneDrive for business subscriptions and 100 per cent scalability across geographies and devices. We are excited to partner with Microsoft and our goal is to significantly expand the reach of both Microsoft Azure and OneDrive for business globally."
