After lots of discussions with our small business
users, we're happy to say that the product they've been asking for —
Carbonite Pro — has arrived! We think it does a great job of meeting
the needs of the various business owners and managers — especially with
regards to being simple to use and a great value.
First, unlike the Carbonite you're used to where you get unlimited backup of one PC, Carbonite Pro lets you back up an unlimited number of PCs. There is just one account to manage and protect all the PCs in your office.
Then,
since most small businesses don't have a full time IT person, we
designed Carbonite Pro so virtually any office administrator can easily
use it. Everything is in plain English (no confusing technical terms)
and the dashboard is simple to use.
With
Carbonite Pro, there's no per-computer charge and you only pay for the
amount of backup space you use. And pricing is based on a simple tiered system.
You
may not have any idea how much space your company needs and that's why
we provide a month free. Throughout the month, you can use the
dashboard to see how much space your company is using. You can also see
the amount of storage used by each employee. So if someone gets carried
away and backs up some very large files, you'll see it.
There are
lots more easy-to-use features in Carbonite Pro. To add a new user,
just enter the person's email address and Carbonite will send that user
a pre-authorized link to install Carbonite Pro. In fact, the user
doesn't even have to be in the office to set up Carbonite Pro. (Sales
teams and others who are always on the road or who work at home will
love it.) And what if one of your employees leaves the company? It's
easy to immediately freeze that employee's account, stop any
unauthorized downloading from the backup, and re-assign access of those
files to someone else.
I could go on and on about the numerous
benefits of Carbonite Pro, but we all know that a hands-on trial is the
best way to see whether the product is right for you. So, if you’re a
small business, just go to CarbonitePro.com and sign up for our free trial.
I
absolutely believe you'll find Carbonite Pro very easy to use and the
most cost effective online backup solution on the market. When you try
it, please let me know how you like it.
