April 9, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – R1Soft (http://www.r1soft.com), a developer of Continuous Data Protection products for Linux and Windows, announced today it will showcase its products and True Granular Restore technology at this year’s MySQL Conference and Expo, held April 14-17 in Santa Clara, California, USA. Organizers expect 1,600 attendees at this year’s event.
As the largest gathering of MySQL developers, users, and database administrators, this year’s show provides an opportunity for R1Soft to educate the MySQL community about its Continuous Data Protection software for MySQL database servers. R1Soft’s database backup technology, True Granular Restore™, is the first of its kind for MySQL, allowing developers and administrators the ability to restore individual tables to original or alternate locations using an easy-to-use web interface.
R1Soft’s MySQL data protection product is the only product capable of MySQL hot backups for both MyISAM and InnoDB table types. The technology provides a complete server backup and allows databases to be backed up as often as every 15 minutes, without interrupting or slowing down a busy production database in any way.
“Since we introduced our MySQL CDP product, we have seen a rapid adoption from administrators tasked with maintaining mission critical MySQL environments. The usual reaction we hear is , ‘Wow! Someone finally solved the MySQL backup problem,’” said David Wartell, Vice President of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies. “While other vendors were sitting around waiting for a new MySQL backup API, we developed a new Linux device driver to facilitate near-Continuous point-in-time MySQL backups. I look forward to interacting with database users at this year’s conference.”
Wartell will host a conference session at the show titled, “MySQL Backups Go near-Continuous.” He will discuss the changes to MySQL data protection, including current MySQL backup technologies, the coming MySQL backup API, and the future of MySQL backup and restore.
R1Soft will be at booth #509 on the floor of the exhibit hall, where it will offer a variety of promotional materials and run its popular prize wheel. Attendees have the chance to win one of many floor prizes, including CDP Starter packs, t-shirts, penguins, and cash.
R1Soft is the only provider of Continuous Data Protection solutions for Linux and Windows. With a world-class customer list, including some of the world's largest hosting providers, R1Soft products provide Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for over 85,000 mission-critical Linux and Windows servers worldwide.
