Partners Can Custom-Brand & Set Prices to Drive New Revenue Stream




CHICAGO, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud-based backup/sync service SpiderOak
(https://spideroak.com) today announced a white-label program enabling
companies in a variety of industries to sell SpiderOak's service with custom
branding and their choice of pricing. The program allows IT consultants,
software vendors and other marketing partners to add online storage and
synchronization to their core services, integrate SpiderOak into their product
backend, and otherwise use the service to strengthen their offerings and drive
incremental revenues.

"Online backup is becoming an essential data protection strategy for both
consumers and businesses. That makes it an important add-on to any number of
complementary products and services. Customers will not only see the value but
also like the convenience of not having to evaluate and pay for their backup
service separately," said SpiderOak CEO Ethan R. Oberman. "For partners,
sourcing the service from SpiderOak offers complete branding and pricing
flexibility as well as a full-featured, Windows/Mac/Linux offering with
advanced capabilities and full redundancy."

SpiderOak is the only online storage provider that enables users to backup,
sync, share, access, and store files from any combination of Windows, Mac and
Linux computers as well as external storage media in a single account. All
data is stored in a central storage repository and is accessible from any
device in the user's SpiderOak network.  

SpiderOak's advanced de-duping cuts backup/sync time by as much as 90%, and
reduces storage costs by conserving space. Other features unique to SpiderOak
include perpetual file and version storage even for older and deleted files,
the ability to aggregate multiple devices in one account to take advantage of
bulk storage rates, and an industry-first no-password-storage security policy
that prevents even SpiderOak employees from viewing user information including
file and folder names. Multiple redundancy strategies and an automated stress
testing and verification system protect customers against data loss.
