i365, Inc., A Seagate Company (NASDAQ:STX), today announced
EVault for Microsoft® System Center Data Protection Manager, a
collaboration with Microsoft that has resulted in the first and
only heterogeneous disk-based data protection solution that allows
IT managers to extend Microsoft System Center Data Protection
Manager (DPM) 2010 across non-Microsoft platforms and into the
Cloud, using i365’s EVault data protection software and
Cloud-Connected storage solutions infrastructure. EVault for DPM on
Dell hardware is scheduled to be available in June and can be
ordered today through i365 and Microsoft channel partners.
In mixed IT environments with Microsoft operating systems and
applications as well as data on other platforms, customers have
been struggling to find the best way to protect all of their
company-critical data with a single solution. Until now, no backup
product offered DPM, with its protection for Microsoft servers,
applications and desktops, combined with heterogeneous support for
non-Microsoft platforms and the option to protect data in the
Cloud. EVault for Data Protection Manager is the only product that
can meet all of these needs.
“When we learned that our trusted partner i365 was coupling the
strength of EVault with the Microsoft data protection solution, and
providing Cloud Connectivity options, we knew that this joint
solution has the potential to be much more powerful than the sum of
its parts,” said Tim Burke, president and CEO of Quest. “Our
expertise in data security and disaster recovery is an important
reason that we at Quest continue to rapidly grow and continue to
satisfy our customer base. To this end we are always improving our
business continuity and data protection practices. We have been
eagerly awaiting Microsoft’s delivery of DPM 2010, and EVault for
DPM as a powerful new option to protect Microsoft and non-Microsoft
applications.”
EVault for DPM is an all-in-one backup and recovery appliance
that combines DPM’s unified data protection for Microsoft Windows
servers and applications with EVault’s robust protection for
non-Microsoft platforms and cloud connectivity. With EVault for
DPM, customers can send both their DPM and EVault-protected backup
data to the i365 Cloud and get offsite disaster recovery protection
quickly and economically. The optional Cloud-Connected storage
service includes efficient and secure replication of the backup
data over the Internet to the Cloud, and maintains backup copies of
data in the i365 Cloud. The i365 Cloud is supported by
geographically dispersed, SAS70 Type II-certified data centers,
staffed by a team of experts and employing state-of-the-art
encryption protocols, storage technologies, and redundancy
practices to ensure ironclad protection of data.
"Microsoft's DPM 2010 for protecting Windows environments
combined with i365's EVault backup management capabilities for
other platforms such as IBM i, Linux, Novell NetWare, Oracle, UNIX,
and VMware is aimed at helping small and mid-sized businesses with
a Microsoft-centered infrastructure that need integrated
on-premises and cloud-based protection for heterogeneous systems,"
said Don Retallack, Directions on Microsoft Research VP, Systems
Management and Security.
Customers have several configurations to choose from — each with
all the hardware, software and support they need. The hardware will
be powered by Dell technology and will ship factory-installed with
both DPM and EVault Software with a common user interface to help
customers monitor their entire heterogeneous environment and
initiate complex tasks with ease. It also includes helpful wizards
that will guide customers through the setup process. EVault for DPM
configurations will start at $9,995.
“We are working closely with i365 so customers can extend the
protection offered by Microsoft System Center Data Protection
Manager to many platforms within their enterprise,” said Vij
Rajarajan, general manager, Management and Services Division at
Microsoft Corp. “A major thrust of System Center enables IT teams
to manage large numbers of physical and virtual machines with lower
cost and effort. Together, Microsoft and i365 are helping companies
manage heterogeneous data protection with a single pane interface,
and extending the benefits of System Center.”
“Microsoft’s upcoming release of System Center Data Protection
Manager 2010 is a perfect convergence point for MadWolf’s two key
practices – Microsoft-based application development and a data
protection practice anchored by i365. MadWolf’s newly developed
Microsoft-based solutions, especially those based on SharePoint,
have grown dramatically in complexity and sophistication and now
propagate throughout the entire enterprise and embrace many legacy
non-Microsoft platforms. Now that i365 has joined forces with
Microsoft to protect every platform within the enterprise under a
single interface, we see a powerful opportunity to leverage the
strength of Microsoft’s presence to protect heterogeneous
environments,” said Douglas Wolfire, president and CEO of MadWolf
Technologies. “As an early-release partner for EVault for DPM, we
are proud to be a part of i365’s and Microsoft’s joint effort to
raise the bar in heterogeneous data protection and deliver the
best-in-class backup and recovery solution.”
Extending Seagate’s long standing relationship with Dell,
i365/Seagate is pleased to include in today’s news that EVault for
DPM will be based on a solid foundation of Dell server and storage
platforms. The appliance-based model makes it easy to purchase,
deploy and manage i365 solutions with special bundling, streamlined
licensing, and Dell support backing up i365’s customer support
worldwide.
“Together with Microsoft, i365 is leveraging Dell’s significant
engineering, integration, and tier-one quality to deliver a more
stable and reliable data protection appliance,” said Josh Kivenko,
global marketing manager of Dell OEM Solutions. “We’ve been in the
appliance business for more than 10 years, and believe the
Dell-powered appliance from i365 is an excellent choice for
customers in need of a turnkey backup and disaster recovery
solution.”
“Partnering with Dell and Microsoft to deliver EVault for DPM
demonstrates key support and momentum for i365’s Cloud-Connected
strategy,” said Terry Cunningham, senior vice president and general
manager, i365. “EVault technology is making Cloud-based data
protection an important part of disaster recovery initiatives for
more customers every day, proving the efficiency, security, and
flexibility of these services. Customers can expect to see more
innovative Cloud-Connected offerings from i365 moving forward as we
continue to help our customers meet the challenges of maintaining
business continuity in cross-platform, multi-site
environments.”
