Enterprise backup and disaster recovery for Australian organisations. Local data sovereignty, Sydney-based support, AUD pricing, and three best-of-breed vendors covering VMs, SaaS applications, and storage infrastructure — all through one Australian distributor.
Australian businesses face a specific set of backup challenges that global vendors don't always address. Data sovereignty requirements mean you can't just send backups to the nearest AWS region and hope it stays in Australia. Compliance frameworks like APRA CPS 234 and the Privacy Act have real teeth, and auditors ask pointed questions about where your data lives.
Then there's the practical side. When a production outage hits during Australian business hours, you need support that's awake. Most global backup vendors route support through US or European queues, meaning your critical recovery scenario waits for someone in another timezone to pick up the ticket.
Pricing adds another layer of friction. USD billing with floating exchange rates makes budget forecasting unreliable. And when you're quoting a backup solution to an end customer, explaining currency conversion to a CFO doesn't inspire confidence.
Finally, most organisations now run hybrid environments — on-premises VMs, cloud workloads, and SaaS applications like Microsoft 365. Protecting all three typically means dealing with multiple vendors, multiple distributors, and multiple billing relationships. It doesn't have to be that complicated.
Your backup vendor stores data overseas and you need Australian data residency
You're paying USD for backup and want predictable AUD billing
Support tickets go into a US timezone queue and take days to resolve
Your current backup solution doesn't cover SaaS applications like Microsoft 365
Ransomware is a board-level concern and you need immutable, air-gapped copies
Backup isn't just an IT decision anymore. It's a compliance requirement, a board-level risk item, and increasingly, a competitive differentiator for MSPs.
Australian privacy legislation and industry regulations increasingly require data to stay onshore. Whether it's the Privacy Act, APRA CPS 234, or state government procurement rules, you need backup infrastructure that keeps data in Australia — not "Asia Pacific" with no guarantees about which country.
When ransomware hits at 2pm AEST, you need a recovery plan that works in your timezone. Air-gapped and immutable backup copies, combined with local support from a distributor who picks up the phone, mean the difference between a four-hour recovery and a four-day scramble.
Most Australian organisations run a mix of on-premises VMs, cloud workloads, and SaaS applications. Rather than managing three separate vendor relationships with three separate overseas distributors, CRS gives you access to NAKIVO (VMs), StoneFly (appliances and cloud storage), and Keepit (SaaS) through one local partner.
Cloud Ready Solutions distributes three backup vendors that together cover every workload Australian organisations need to protect — VMs, SaaS, and storage.
Veeam dominates the Australian backup market, but it's not the only option — and for many organisations, it's not the best fit. NAKIVO offers comparable VM backup at a lower price point with simpler licensing. Keepit provides SaaS backup coverage that Veeam is still building out.
We've written detailed comparison guides to help you evaluate the alternatives with real feature-by-feature analysis, not marketing claims.
We're an Australian distributor, not a professional services firm. Here's how we help partners deliver backup solutions to their customers.
Single local distributor for NAKIVO, StoneFly, and Keepit. One relationship, one invoice, three world-class backup vendors — all billed in AUD with Australian payment terms.
Sydney-based pre-sales and deployment assistance. We help partners size solutions, plan migrations, and troubleshoot issues in Australian business hours — not overnight tickets to US support queues.
Training on each vendor's platform, competitive positioning guides, and co-branded marketing materials. We help partners build backup practices, not just resell licences.
Transparent AUD pricing across all three vendors. Deal registration programmes protect your margins and reward partners who bring opportunities to the table first.
Build a profitable managed backup practice with multi-tenant platforms, per-workload licensing, and a local distributor who understands channel economics. Protect client VMs, SaaS data, and endpoints from a single partner relationship.
Organisations with 200-2,000 staff who need enterprise-grade backup without enterprise-grade complexity. Protect hybrid environments spanning on-premises VMware, cloud workloads, and Microsoft 365 — all managed locally.
Government departments, healthcare providers, and financial services firms that must keep data onshore. Meet APRA, Privacy Act, and Essential Eight requirements with Australian-hosted backup and immutable retention.
All three vendors support Australian data residency. Keepit stores backup data in Australian data centres on its independent cloud. StoneFly's Cloud Vault runs on RackCorp's Sydney infrastructure. NAKIVO can target any Australian-hosted storage repository — local NAS, Australian S3-compatible storage, or StoneFly appliances.
CRS is based in Sydney and our Supabase infrastructure is hosted in the Sydney region. Your partner portal data, quotes, and deal registrations stay in Australia.
