November 22, 2010 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Nashville-based infrastructure solutions provider
The Nexus Group (TNG) today revealed plans to enhance its backup and disaster recovery offerings through a partnership with
R1Soft, developer of Continuous Data Protection® (CDP) software. The selection comes after a six month search, spurred by growing demand for Nexus’ business continuity and disaster recovery solutions. TNG will offer R1Soft CDP as a part of a fully managed backup service to both end customers and its partners.
In its search, The Nexus Group needed to find more than just a powerful backup solution; it needed to find a solution that could manage the initial data transfer better than other options on the market. TNG was therefore attracted to R1Soft CDP’s virtual full backup technology, which requires only one full backup, the initial replica. Further, TNG can complete the first backup at the client’s site, transporting the initial replica to their secure data center. Subsequent data replications can be managed and executed virtually via CDP’s multi-user, multi-tenant Web interface.
Even with the challenge of the initial data transfer met, TNG still required one additional feature: bare-metal restore. “Bare-metal backup is the first critical step to a robust disaster recovery/business continuity plan” explains Wayne Wood, vice president of sales for The Nexus Group. “Choosing a packaged backup software provider that enabled us to help our customers and the customers of our channel partners was paramount to our product decision.”
With CDP’s bare-metal restore feature, The Nexus Group can restore a client’s entire server to a previous state directly from backup media, without requiring that the O/S or backup application be installed first.
“By partnering with R1Soft, The Nexus Group will further elevate the scope and effectiveness of its business continuity and disaster recovery solutions” says David Wartell, vice president of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies. “The selection of CDP technology sends TNG’s current and prospective customers a clear message that TNG places paramount importance on the security of their mission-critical data.”
