Web Host Shinjiru Technology Offers R1Soft CDP Backup
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider Shinjiru Technology announced on Tuesday that it has introduced R1Soft Continous Data Protection backups as a value-add service for its customers.
According to the press release, Shinjiru is one of Malaysia’s largest web hosting providers, delivering more than 1,500 servers and 500 virtual private servers last year.
This announcement comes a month after R1Soft launched its Continuous Data Protection Data Center Console, a management platform for large-scale backup installations.
Shinjiru’s implementation uses CDP Enterprise Edition 3.0 with Bare Metal Restore capabilities to restore the server directly from disk-based backup, with “flexible file-by-file restores.”
“From the beginning, Shinjiru let us know that backup efficiency was one of the key attributes it was searching for in a backup solution. CDP 3.0 has definitely delivered on this front,” Domingo Martinez, global marketing manager for R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies said in a statement. “CDP has shaved significant chunks of time off of regular backups. Shinjiru has also noted reductions in restore times, whether Bare-Metal or simultaneous restores. Ultimately, these efficiencies allow Shinjiru to better utilize its resources and improve customer satisfaction.”
Shinjiru says R1Soft’s backups are light on its network resources because of its replication technology, and its ease of administration was also a selling feature.
Through CDP’s web interface, administrators can centrally manage the backup environment for up to 30 servers. Administrators can manage users, define backup schedules and policies, merge recovery points, and perform restores.
