Day# 1 at cPanel Bootcamp, Austin

XXX Backup

Vxxxx

There’s a competitor of ours called Axxxx

They have a forum (if you hadn’t guessed already, you know who they are now)

One of the key rules on their forum is ‘no names of competitors’. So you’ll find references to us as Vxxxx. For example (from their forum): My reseller is close to dropping our service and switch to a vxxxx based solution because of these kinds of glitches. Please help.

You’ll also find references to some of the consumer backup services like Mxxx and Cxxxxxxxx (who is sometimes also referred to as Carb – in the fond hope that … Read the rest

Amazon gets calculative

.

Two days ago,  Amazon announced Amazon Web Services (AWS) calculator on their blog. I can see this becoming quite useful, and am, in fact, surprised that they didn’t do this earlier.

You can access the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator here. The calculator, currently in Beta, allows you to get an idea of the kind of costs you can expect for different services that you might use. They’ve even had a stab at typical figures you might be seeing for some ‘typical use cases’.

Vembu Home is ready to save (backup) the world

Super Backup Man

After over a year of work (on top of the existing StoreGrid engine), Vembu Home is finally ready.

We took all the time we needed as we wanted Vembu Home to be unlike anything you’ve seen. And we (obviously) think, it is unlike any  backup software you’ve seen- and will see for some time, at least.

The obvious question first. Why is Vembu Home different?

a)      It’s iPhone inspired user interface is light years ahead of anything else. With its fluidity and intuitiveness, people may actually start enjoying backing up.

b)      It is the first and only consumer backup solution … Read the rest

Why Google will kill the “I’m feeling Lucky” button

Google is key to our business! We spend a lot of time studying how people looking for online backup solutions found us – through the organic & paid results on Google.

Besides this affinity for many things ‘Google’, three other events inspired this post:

im feeling lucky google

a) Google announced its quarterly results earlier this month. Though revenues were almost stagnant, Google managed to deliver a higher net income of $ 1.48 bn (Qtr ending June 30, 2009)

b) Techcrunch says Bing users are twice as likely to click on ads than Google users.

c) I clicked on the ‘I’m feeling lucky’ button … Read the rest

Backup – Coming soon to a theatre near you

Ah, the price of fame!

Tim McGuire of  “The Backup Plan” has been offering his customers ‘Vembu powered’ online backup services since January 2007. His company’s website is http://thebackupplan.com

All’s been well, and Tim has been steadily signing up new customers and backing them up!

However, in recent times, in spite of more business, and a huge traffic surge, a smaller proportion of his website visitors are really keen on his backup services!What happened? Well, Hollywood happened…

I have Google Alerts set up for various terms, and ‘backup’ is obviously one of them. As a consequence, I get snippets on … Read the rest
