SMBs Ask the Cloud - "Back Me Up and Sync Me!" - Endurance to Launch JustCloud to Answer the Plea(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Burlington, MA (PRWEB) February 18, 2014 Endurance International Group (NASDAQ:EIGI) is launching JustCloud (http://www.justcloud.com), a cloud storage solution, across its portfolio of brands to meet the demand from small business for cloud-based backup, storage and syncing services. JustCloud provides automated computer backup of multiple computers, cloud storage and synced access to your files from any computer or mobile device through a handy mobile app. While many SMBs are still unclear about the value of cloud-based solutions for their businesses, they are clear about the need for backup and sync. eMarketer recently published a June 2013 study by Cbeyond, "Summer 2013 Cbeyond Business Leader Snapshot," which indicates that when SMBs were asked “What business functions you would like to access via the cloud?”, 39% of respondents said they would like computer backup, 35% would like email across devices, and 32% would like shared file services. The Endurance brands Bluehost, HostGator, FatCow, iPage and Typepad already provide email solutions through their web presence products, and now with the launch of JustCloud, they can provide these other services as well. JustCloud starts by providing backup, sync and file sharing, and its suite of services allows users to easily share files and folders via email, social media or private custom links. What’s more, backups and sync can be automated — a big plus for busy small business owners through easy drag and drop — all with peace of mind that files are secured with 256 bit encryption. Compatible with Mac, PC, Linux and across multiple devices, JustCloud is the perfect solution for the Endurance brands. Endurance has begun offering current subscribers a free JustCloud account with 1GB of storage, just in time for tax preparation and filing season. Subscribers who need more storage can then go on to purchase a full account. Hari Ravichandran, CEO of Endurance, said, “The cloud can enable so much for small business, but its value has yet to be clearly explained to customers. That’s why at Endurance, we plan to demonstrate, not just talk about, what the cloud can do for small business. We are pleased that we are going to be able to solve an obvious pain point for our customers. This is just one of many solutions we look forward to rolling out this year.” About Endurance International Group Endurance International Group is a leading provider of cloud-based platform solutions designed to help small and medium-sized businesses succeed online.
