June 28, 2011 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider
Servers Australia announced that it has introduced R1Soft Continuous Data Protection® (CDP) software as the company’s exclusive backup and disaster recovery solution. Servers Australia will leverage CDP to back up its entire shared hosting fleet. The company will also offer CDP backups for dedicated server and virtual dedicated server customers as either a fully- or self-managed service.
By implementing R1Soft Continuous Data Protection®, Servers Australia aims to bring reliable server backup and disaster recovery protection to as many customers as possible. Whether Servers Australia needs to protect Windows or Linux, physical or virtual dedicated servers, it can do so seamlessly, thanks to CDP’s convenient cross-platform design. A central backup repository and management interface greatly simplifies system administration; at the same time, CDP’s hosting control panel restore allows Servers Australia to put restore management directly in the hands of those customers that choose the self-managed backup option. CDP also provides maximum data protection for MySQL databases.
“In the industry, R1Soft is a well-known and trusted name, which helps put our clients at ease. On top of that, we did our own internal testing to confirm that their CDP software definitely lives up to its claims. R1Soft offers a solution that is reliable and affordable at the same time” explained Jared Hirst, chief information officer for Servers Australia.
Along with CDP’s reliability and affordability, the software’s robust Bare-Metal Restore feature was a big draw for Servers Australia. Bare-Metal Restore quickly and efficiently restores the complete server file system and allocated blocks from any disk-based backup storage, in several fewer steps than is typical. Servers Australia estimates that R1Soft’s Bare Metal Restore feature will reduce current restore times by half, which translates into significantly less downtime for customers in the event of a server crash.
“R1Soft is very excited to have one of Australia’s leading providers of dedicated hosting as a partner, and we expect this partnership to help Servers Australia propel its business even further” stated Domingo Martinez, global marketing manager for R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies. “By offering R1Soft backups, Servers Australia sends a strong message that the data protection needs of its customers are of paramount importance. That type of message really resonates with both current and prospective customers.”
