Hey All,

Microsoft is really pushing the car for could offerings.  It has recently announced that it has established a partnership with i365, the software company of Seagate, to provide could-based data protection for DPM 2010. 

The offering would integrate i365’s EVault data protection software and cloud-connected storage infrastructure with DPM 2010.

The announcement can be found here:

Mike
