July 17, 2009 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Versaweb (http://www.versaweb.com), provider of Virtual Private Servers, dedicated hosting, colocation, and managed services, has announced it has chosen R1Soft’s (http://www.r1soft.com) Continuous Data Protection® (CDP)technology to protect hundreds of dedicated server clients’ data and to provide disaster recovery services for companies looking for the most secure offsite backups.
With R1Soft CDP technology, Versaweb gains numerous capabilities such as Bare-Metal Restores for quick, efficient disaster recovery and minimal downtime. Versaweb can also delegate administrative functions to clients that want to back up multiple servers in one account, and offer features such as cPanel integration module and MySQL module to their large group of cPanel-based webhost clients who host extensive MySQL-based sites.
Versaweb has added Continuous Data Protection to expand their growing portfolio of managed services after using it as an internal backup solution for several years. R1Soft’s disaster recovery solution makes Versaweb’s Las Vegas data center even more ideal for someone looking for an offsite backup and disaster recovery service. Versaweb chose Las Vegas for its low incidence of natural disasters and its proximity to many large power generation facilities.
“We want to offer our existing clients the best possible option for data protection and disaster recovery. We feel that R1Soft CDP is unparalleled in its ability to offer those capabilities. There just isn’t another product out there that will offer the same level of safety for our clients’ data,” said Rob Tyree, Vice President and CTO of Versaweb Hosting Services.
Versaweb will offer Windows and Linux CDP backups as an option bundled with dedicated servers as well as a separate service directly to clients looking for backups to a remote location. Dedicated CDP backup servers will also be available for clients whose needs don’t fit within the shared solution.
“The introduction of CDP backups brings a whole new standard of data protection to current customers and will help Versaweb attract new clients who are in need of offsite backup services,” said David Wartell, vice president of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies, Inc.
