In a surprising move that has left many Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in a lurch, Arcserve, a renowned developer of storage and data protection software, has announced the termination of sales for its Arcserve Cloud Services and Arcserve OneXafe Solo offerings. This sudden decision has forced MSPs to hastily search for alternative solutions to continue providing their services without interruption.
Arcserve, a Minneapolis-based trailblazer in data protection technology, issued a memo to its MSP partners declaring the cessation of sales for these technologies through the company’s web store as of Monday, Feb. 12. The memo also outlined that support for the discontinued products would conclude by July 31. After this date, these products will no longer be available, and all associated service and support will cease.
The memo, titled “Important Notice – Changes to Arcserve Cloud Services & Arcserve OneXafe Solo,” indicated that the end-of-life (EOL) decision for these product offerings was a strategic move. This decision, according to Arcserve, was in alignment with the company’s support policy and cloud services terms and conditions, facilitating the company’s focus on investing in innovative solutions to better serve its partners and customers.
Whatever their reasoning, this decision will have a dramatic impact on Arcserve’s existing customers – but also their partners, especially Managed Service providers who had relied on Arcserve Cloud Services. For them, this announcement leaves precious little time to identify a viable alternative solution to transition their clients to, much less to actually complete that transition.
