Episode 44 - Global Data Vault

Global Data Vault is a leader in cloud-based Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS), Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS), and the backup for Microsoft 365 space. GDV strives to add the most value to their customers based on their guiding principals of Data Quality, Proactive Monitoring, Transparency and straight forward pricing. Will and and I talk about how how GDV was founded in the early era of file based offsite backup and how their innovative approach to abstracting more out of their core platforms for the customers led them to focus on a single backup vendor to offer industry leading backup and disaster recovery services.
