July 21, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Opus Interactive (http://www.opusinteractive.com) announced today it has joined the R1Soft (http://www.r1soft.com) Hosting Partner Program, a value-added partnership opportunity that enables it to more effectively deploy R1Soft’s next-generation Continuous Data Protection® backup and restore technology, which allows data to be backed up on a constant basis.
As a member of the R1Soft Hosting Partner Program, Opus Interactive receives a variety of sales and marketing resources from R1Soft, as well as priority technical support and access to new software updates before they become available to the general public. Opus Interactive will provide Continuous Data Protection® as a premium value-added service to its Dedicated Hosting customers, using Windows, Linux or FreeBSD operating systems. Pricing starts at $5/monthly per protected gigabyte of data, plus an initial setup fee.
Continuous Data Protection® is unique in its ability to provide near-Continuous data protection that virtually eliminates the lag time between restore points. With traditional backup technology, there is a delay—hours, days or even weeks between restore points, resulting in significant data loss in the event of a disaster. But with Continuous Data Protection®, data is protected around the clock. With but a minimal impact on server resources, Continuous Data Protection® is an ideal solution for even busy servers.
“R1Soft’s data protection solution has helped us solve several problems created by our previous system and allows us to more affordably offer a very robust solution to our Dedicated Hosting customers. We have been especially impressed by the flexibility of R1Soft’s solution and the scalability across a variety of platforms and server environments,” said Opus Interactive Business Solutions Executive Jeremy Sherwood. “It it’s a natural fit for our business model and we look forward to full implementation.”
“Opus Interactive is an ideal partner to implement our data protection technology. By combining its world-class infrastructure with our solution, Opus Interactive is able to deliver on its promise to offer mission-critical hosting solutions for businesses of all sizes,” said David Wartell, Vice President of R1Soft division, BBS Technologies Inc.
