Storage Administrators must plan, design, sustain and performance-tune storage environments across the organization, while ensuring high levels of data quality and availability. Arkeia Software is focused on developing innovative data protection software tailored to Storage Administrators needs.

Arkeia Software invests in data protection products as the core business, unlike the market share leaders who invest in desktop antivirus (Symantec/VERITAS), network management systems (CA/ARCserve) or hardware (EMC/Legato).

Data Protection Innovation
Arkeia Software's focus on storage and data protection is reflected in technically sophisticated products which are designed with Storage Administrators in mind. Arkeia Software customers utilize market leading technology to reduce backup windows, increase data availability, reduce risks of data loss and manage storage infrastructure costs.

Several unique technologies include:

• Integrated VTL: Arkeia is unique in offering fully integrated Virtual Tape Library capabilities with dynamic space allocation.This delivers to Storage Administrators the ability to backup to disk as if it were a tape.
• Triple Backup Verification: Arkeia deploys three levels of data consistency checking to ensure data backed up has really been backed up.
• CLI and Interface Customization: Arkeia offers an easily customizable and extensible interface that sits on top of the core backup engine. This flexibility allows customers to integrate Arkeia into existing data/network management solutions.
• Data Flow Parallelism: Arkeia leverages sophisticated multi-flow and multithreading from client to backup server and from backup server to tape libraries. Arkeia can create up to 200 simultaneous flows of data (not simply machines but granular flows), and precisely prioritize those streams. This innovative capability ensures that full network bandwidth is utilized during backups, resulting in "line-speed" data protection and shorter backup windows.
• Data Encryption at the Client: Arkeia encrypts data at the source, the client machine before transversing the network. The data is also encrypted on the storage media. The unique approach of client-side encryption reduces backup window by leveraging under-utilized processing of Client machines (rather than Backup Server). Also, client-side encryption reduces risk of sending unprotected data from Client to Backup Server.
• Unlimited Backup Granularity: Arkeia offers multiple ways to backup different files on different machines, utilizing the unique concept of "Save Packs". This detailed granularity capability allows Storage Administrators to design custom backup policies and to prioritize data protection that fit their exact requirements.
