September 12, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting and applications infrastructure provider Rackforce has announced that it now utilizes IBM Tivoli Storage Manager in line with Storage Area Networks and LTO4 tape systems. The move provides an “enterprise grade backup service” for the company’s hosted server customers that is available for a monthly flat rate plus overages.
“Hosting infrastructure providers are in the business of providing reliability but our industry has not typically provided backup solutions capable of supporting the fast growing online web sites and applications,” explained Randall Robinson General Manager of RackForce. “We knew we could not stay status quo on this and decided after much research and planning that the award winning Tivoli backup solution was the answer.”
“Tivoli is a system administrator’s dream,” added RackForce’s System Administrator, Mr. James Bothe. “With the RackForce implementation our reseller customers will be able to store up to 14 versions per month of backup to RackForce’s SAN and LTO4 tape systems. They will have access to a Graphical User Interface and will be able to customize which data is backed up. Even live databases can be backed up and long-term data archived. This is exactly what today’s online business needs to keep constantly changing data safe and secure,”
RackForce is one of the fastest growing Hosting Service Providers in North America. From its three data centers the company provides 24/7 dedicated servers, virtual private servers and collocation services to a growing world-wide customer base. The company will begin providing its Tivoli backup service on its 5000, 5100, 5300 and 5350 Server models with Windows or Linux Operating Systems and DDS Windows Virtual Private Servers.
