San Diego, Calif. June 28, 2011 – Arkeia Software, a leading provider of fast, easy-to-use, and affordable network backup solutions, today announced that Bellows Free Academy has chosen Arkeia Network Backup for fast and reliable backup of physical and virtual servers. As a supervisory union among a series of school districts in Vermont, Bellows Free Academy required a user-friendly solution to ensure hassle-free backups and enable swift recovery.
Arkeia Network Backup provides Bellows Free Academy with easy-to-use, reliable, scalable support for multiple operating systems on physical and virtual machines. With the flexibility to configure and administer the software using either the Web-based graphical user interface or the command-line interface (CLI), Bellows Free Academy is able to centrally manage the backup of remote locations and reduce any instance of data loss with fast restores.
Fast Backups: A Single Arkeia Backup Server Protects 800 Physical and Virtual Machines
Bellows Free Academy selected Arkeia Network Backup to replace their existing solution because “Arkeia was the clear frontrunner in terms of technical features, performance, and support,” says Tom Hebert, network administrator at Bellows Free Academy. “With hundreds of educational customers across the country, moving to Arkeia Network Backup was an easy choice.”
Today, Bellows Free Academy uses Arkeia Network Backup to protect 12 physical servers running Linux and over 750 workstations running a combination of Windows and MacOS. Bellows Free Academy also uses Arkeia to protect 3 VMware hypervisors and plans to deploy more. By deploying Arkeia Software’s specialized agents for Novell eDirectory and Microsoft SQL Server, Bellows Free Academy protects critical applications and databases without requiring application and database downtime.
