SAN DIEGO -- BakBone Software® (Pink Sheets:BKBO), a global provider of heterogeneous integrated data protection solutions, today announced NetVault: Replicator version 5.0, a real-time data replication software solution. Incorporating unique new features that streamline data protection management, NetVault: Replicator 5.0 gives customers enterprise-class capabilities to help plan and prepare for disaster recovery scenarios. With broad platform support for Linux, Solaris, and Windows environments, NetVault: Replicator 5.0 provides an improved user experience for Windows customers, as well as more comprehensive functionality over local or wide area networks. Using NetVault: Replicator 5.0, customers benefit from up-to-the-second content distribution for file systems, as well as disaster avoidance and recovery, at a fraction of the cost of hardware-based solutions.
“In today’s 24x7 business environments, companies cannot afford operational downtime, nor can they tolerate data loss,” said Jeff Drescher, director of product management, BakBone Software. “With this latest upgrade of NetVault: Replicator, we save resource constrained administrators both time and money in managing their complex heterogeneous environments while protecting vital server and remote office data. This ensures the maximum level of business data and application availability.”
Offering automated, real-time, and scheduled replication operations, NetVault: Replicator 5.0 is an essential disaster recovery component for data availability and delivers the redundancy required by today’s global commercial enterprises. Enabling bi-directional operations and flexible configuration options across Linux, Solaris and Windows platforms, this latest version reliably, efficiently and in real-time replicates data and distributes content between multiple distributed sites over any IP network.
Unlike competitive replication solutions which only support homogeneous environments and lack integration with backup technology, NetVault: Replicator offers the industry’s most comprehensive cross-platform replication between different heterogeneous environments. Integral to BakBone’s strategy of enabling Integrated Data Protection using customers’ existing infrastructure investments, NetVault: Replicator integrates with BakBone’s award-winning flagship backup and recovery software, NetVault: Backup to keep its servers highly available. This eliminates the need for multiple point products to simplify and streamline data protection management. Advanced reporting and monitoring APIs will also enable seamless integration with future versions of BakBone’s NetVault: Report Manager software, giving administrators the ability to monitor and report on replication jobs while helping to ensure continuous availability of mission-critical data and applications.
At Secure-24, a Michigan-based leading provider of information security and managed hosting services, maintaining 24x7 access and availability of business critical data and applications across multiple customer sites is the life-blood of the organization. According to Volker Straub, COO of Secure-24, “With multiple customers depending on Secure-24 to maintain continuous data availability, we needed a data protection solution that would centralize administration, offer high performance and scalability, while supporting multiple heterogeneous storage environments. With advanced functionality including real-time content distribution and disaster recovery, NetVault: Replicator enables us to easily protect and manage our customers’ data environments. Using NetVault: Replicator, we offer our customers the peace of mind that their data is safe and accessible when and where they need it.”
To minimize administrative costs and reduce the complexity of managing data across multiple locations, NetVault: Replicator 5.0 replicates disparate server data (including branch offices and remote office sites and business units) to a single location. This enables administrators to reliably protect data from multiple servers or sites by consolidating backups and centralizing data for disaster recovery. For environments where multiple servers must maintain synchronized data (such as Web servers, rich media servers for video clips, or supporting remote office content updates), NetVault: Replicator offers data distribution by providing automatic content synchronization of any size data storage environment independent of applications. This allows administrators to set the replication schedule with NetVault: Replicator OnDemand, pick source and target servers and manage bandwidth.
