Sep 12, 2007 : RackForce Offers IBM Tivoli Backup
📅 - Web hosting provider RackForce (rackforce.com) announced on Wednesday that is has launched an enterprise grade backup service using IBM Tivoli Storage Manager in line with storage area networks and LTO4 tape systems.
RackForce says enterprise products like IBM Tivoli have traditionally not been available to small to medium-sized businesses. But now that larger hosting infrastructure providers have the economies of scale to attract vendors like IBM they can provide the technology as a service and make it affordable for everyone. Now solutions providers, ISVs and hosting companies can provide first class backup for their customers, says the company.
"Tivoli is a system administrator's dream. With the RackForce implementation our reseller customers will be able to store up to 14 versions per month of backup to RackForce's SAN and LTO4 tape systems," says James Bothe, system administrator for RackForce. "They will have access to a graphical user interface and will be able to customize which data is backed up. Even live databases can be backed up and long-term data archived. This is exactly what today's online business needs to keep constantly changing data safe and secure."
RackForce will begin providing its Tivoli backup service on its 5000, 5100, 5300 and 5350 server models with Windows or Linux operating systems and DDS Windows virtual private servers. It will be priced on a monthly flat rate plus overages.
