Arkeia Expands Range of Supported Platforms
Updated Support for Windows, Fedora, Mac OS X, Novell Open Enterprise Server, OpenBSD, and Ubuntu
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Arkeia Software, a leading provider of fast, easy-to-use, and affordable network backup solutions, today announced updated support for ten platforms. These ten platforms represent a fraction of the over 200 platforms protected by Arkeia Network Backup which include Windows, Mac, Linux, Netware, Solaris, AIX, BSD, and HP-UX operating systems and derivatives, as well as VMware, Hyper-V, and Xen virtual environments.

Broad Platform Support Reduces Complexity, Maximizes Protection
Using a single network backup solution to protect all platforms reduces costs and complexity because only a single environment needs to be managed and no sharing of storage resources is required. Broad platform support maximizes data protection because a single policy can be applied to all platforms, whether physical or virtual, and a single mechanism can be employed to move data offsite.
"Arkeia is recognized worldwide for having delivered the first professional network backup solution for Linux in 1999," said Bill Evans, Arkeia Software's CEO. "Since then, we have expanded the range of protected platforms to over two hundred processor-and-operating-system pairs. We believe that broad support is 'table stakes' for any credible mid-market network backup solution. None of our customers wants to install, manage, and maintain more than one backup product. With Arkeia, our customers enjoy reduced costs and improved reliability of backups by protecting both virtual and physical platforms, with a single comprehensive solution." See http://www.arkeia.com/platforms for the full list of protected platforms.
Backward Compatibility of Servers and Agents Reduces Costs
Arkeia's value proposition includes support by backup servers for multiple generations of backup agents, typically for a period of eight years. This industry-leading support allows Arkeia customers to upgrade backup servers without requiring the simultaneous update of backup agents. Today, Arkeia v9.1 servers support Arkeia agents for v9.0, v8.2, v8.1, v8.0, v7.0, v6.0, v5.3, v5.2, and v5.1.
This deep backward compatibility reduces costs by giving administrators control over when--and whether-- they choose to upgrade agents. Because a single Arkeia backup server can protect many hundreds of clients, deployments with mixed agent versions are common.
