Arkeia Backs Up Linux

January 26th, 2007: With increasing amounts of companies making the switch to open source software, protecting Linux-based environments has never been more important. To this end, Arkeia Software has announced a new disaster recovery solution for Linux.

Arkeia specialises in data protection software and claims that it engineered the first disaster recovery solution for Linux. It says it developed the Advanced Disaster Recovery, the Linux disaster recovery module, with a focus on enhanced features for Arkeia Network Backup version 6.0.

Arkeia says that with version 6.0, Advanced Disaster Recovery has far wider support for hardware than ever before. It’s both network and USB bootable, contains SATA and 64bit support, support for all SCSI and netcard modules and features a GUI-based recovery screen to ease restores.

“It doesn’t take much to wipe out data that is critical to your enterprise,” said Dave Elliott, vice-president of Marketing at Arkeia Software. “Companies need the ability to restore servers quickly and easily – minimising the impact to their business.”

The Advanced Disaster Recovery option is available for Arkeia Network Backup and Arkeia Smart Backup and starts at US$600 per server.
