Backup and disaster recovery remains a core service for managed service providers. but many of the technologies behind Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) platforms used in MSP environments were developed years ago. As MSP operations become more automated and spread across hybrid infrastructure, MSPs are increasingly looking for platforms that integrate with their existing tools and evolve more quickly.
Slide is positioning its platform around that shift. The company has announced a $70 million Series B funding round led by General Catalyst while outlining plans to expand its business continuity and disaster recovery platform and extend operations into the UK and broader EMEA region.
