Storix System Backup Administrator receives IBM ServerProven Certification

Business Wire, Sept 30, 2004

SAN DIEGO -- Storix Inc. (www.storix.com) announced that it has received IBM's ServerProven(R) Certification for Storix System Backup Administrator (SBA).

IBM's ServerProven(R) Certification was designed by IBM to help its customers quickly identify proven solutions for their mission critical system needs. Limited to IBM PartnerWorld members, the IBM ServerProven(R) program certification is granted to member products that have been field tested and proven.

Storix SBA, running in harmony with IBM Linux based eServer pSeries and xSeries systems, is a highly sophisticated Backup and Disaster Recovery application which provides an easy to use graphical user interface for centralized management of system and data backup. This intuitive interface provides all the standard features you would expect, while also providing advanced features like backup scheduling, backup to disks or tape, tape striping, replicating disk backups to tape, generation of backup and tape labels, creation, overwrite and retention policies, performance statistics and history reporting. SBA offers support for backup to local or remote disk, including SAN and NAS devices, random tape libraries and sequential autoloaders. Further, SBA supports all major filesystem types, Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and software RAID devices.

Storix SBA's bare-metal recovery is the only re-configurable solution available for IBM's Linux on pSeries. This is not a typical image restore that must be applied to the exact same hardware configuration. Unique in the industry, Storix SBA offers a complete and flexible Configuration Interface, which allows the user the ability to reconfigure the OS to operate on a completely different hardware configuration.

Because of IBM's leadership and worldwide dedication to Linux as the basis for their POWER5 servers, Storix has focused its resources and has been working hand-in-hand with IBM in the program. In addition, Storix SBA is also available in a version that is non-distribution specific for all other x86 based systems.
