ⓘ TCO based on list pricing for 750 Azure VMs over 3 years. BDRShield $20,250/yr ($2.25/VM/mo). Note: Azure Backup pricing is not included as a direct comparison — it is consumption-based (per-instance + storage GRS costs) and difficult to predict at scale; Microsoft’s own pricing estimates vary widely by VM size and retention. Veeam VUL ~$250/workload/yr (public MSRP). Acronis ~$87/VM/yr (public list). Commvault ~$150/VM/yr estimated from publicly cited ranges — quote-based. All prices USD, subject to change.
For Managed Service Providers (MSPs)
Multi-tenant Azure VM backup, monthly billing, white-label — protect every client Azure environment from a single console alongside on-premises workloads.
Your Clients Think Azure Backup Is Enough. It Often Isn’t.
Azure Backup stores vault data inside the same subscription and tenant as the VMs being protected. A compromised Azure admin account, a ransomware attack that escalates to subscription-level access, or an accidental resource group deletion can put both the VMs and their backup vault at risk simultaneously. Clients relying solely on Azure Backup vault may have less protection than they think.
BDRShield gives MSPs a purpose-built platform to back up Azure VMs independently — outside of Azure — with immutable, air-gapped copies, instant recovery, and a unified multi-tenant console that also covers on-premises VMware, Hyper-V, and physical servers. One tool. One bill. One margin.
Protecting 750 client Hyper-V VMs with Veeam costs ~$187,500/yr. BDRShield costs $20,250 — an 89% reduction that dramatically expands your per-client margin.
Attackers target Windows-based Hyper-V hosts knowing that one compromised host can encrypt all VMs simultaneously. Without immutable, air-gapped backup, there’s no clean recovery point.
VSS snapshots degrade VM performance over time, can’t survive host failures, and offer no protection against ransomware that encrypts the host storage. Clients think they’re protected — they’re not.
Key MSP Features
100% Agentless Azure VM Backup
No agents inside VMs. BDRShield uses Azure APIs to protect Azure VMs — Windows and Linux — without any configuration changes to the VM OS, NSGs, or VM extensions.
Instant Azure VM Recovery
Restore Azure VMs rapidly from independent backup storage — to the same Azure region, a different region, or boot as a VM on any on-premises hypervisor (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM) for hybrid DR.
Cross-Cloud & Hybrid DR
Restore Azure VM backups to a different region, download as VMDK/VHD for on-premises recovery, or restore as AWS EC2 instances. True cross-cloud disaster recovery from a single platform.
Immutable Backup Independent of Azure
Backup copies stored outside Azure with retention lock and object lock. Even if your entire Azure subscription or tenant is compromised, backup copies are unreachable — true air-gap independence from the cloud environment being protected.
