More than 2,500 cloud infrastructure providers currently use R1Soft SBM to protect more than 300,000 servers worldwide, making it one of the leading commercial backup software for web hosting providers.
“We have been an R1Soft partner for years,” said Corey Arbogast, Owner of R1Soft Licenses, an x10Hosting Website. “We not only rely 100 percent on their backup solution but also manage for hundreds of other small businesses and hosting companies. With the resources and experience at Continuum coupled with the already talented R1Soft development team, we are excited to see the evolution of R1Soft already underway. We are especially enthusiastic to welcome Continuum and look forward to their vision for the future of R1Soft.”

We’re happy to see the same team is still there, but with the additional support and resources that Continuum can provide. We’re excited to see what happens next.”
