New Hardware Provides Integrated Backup of Both Data and Applications
HOUSTON, TX--(MARKET WIRE)—Sep. 7, 2007 – MergerTree Solutions today announced a new fully managed hardware solution that provides clients with a cost-effective way to backup and recover both their data and applications.
MergerTree now offers the only complete cohesive Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Servers the MergerTree Stratastation Pro™ series. This reasonably priced, all-encompassing solution provides Small to Medium size businesses with near real-time backups that also include seamless off-site data storage along with multi-year archiving and fast server virtualization capabilities. This hardware service contains advanced restoration options like file and folder level restorations, with Exchange message and mailbox recovery and bare metal restorations to dissimilar hardware. Within hours, the unique MergerTree Stratastation Pro™ device can also be configured to function as a virtual server if needed. This solution will replace management intensive, error-prone tape backups while providing much more.
This new MergerTree Stratastation Pro™ technology performs data backup at the block level where the actual 1's and 0's are captured from the hard drive essentially eliminating failures related to open files. Block level data is raw data which does not have a file structure imposed on it. Database applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server transfer data in blocks without having to worry if files are open or being used. Block transfer is the most efficient way to write to disk. Backups are performed as frequent as every 15 minutes providing clients with an increased amount of restore points when compared to traditional tape backups.
Data is securely sent from the local MergerTree Stratastation Pro™ to high availability, redundant off-site colocation facilities. All aspects of the on-site and off-site solution are monitored 24X7 by MergerTree’s NOC. This solution allows the businesses to continue to function even after a disastrous event without the need to deploy redundant hardware and software and the need to invest in costly fault tolerant systems. The MergerTree Stratastation Pro™ provides a solid, more frequent backup and an integrated recovery strategy that is the primary component of a complete Business Continuity Plan.
"In order for us to more fully serve our customers backup and business continuity needs, we are introducing an integrated hardware and software service which for the first time cost affordably addresses both data and applications recovery needs," said Bruce Litwin, Chief Executive Officer of MergerTree Solutions, LP. "We are confident that the MergerTree Stratastation Pro™ will allow customer to eliminate traditional tape backup and provide them with “piece of mind” knowing that their business critical data and applications can be restored within a very short period of time following a disaster.”
