Databarracks Helps More Customers Achieve High Availability and Reliable Disaster Recovery with NetApp Storage
LONDON, UK March 2, 2009 -
Databarracks, the leading provider of secure online backup
services, today announced that the company is expanding its
high-availability and DR infrastructure based on NetApp®
(NASDAQ: NTAP) storage. As a result, Databarracks is able to
improve its service to clients and enable more customers to benefit
from the inherent advantages of highly reliable, high-performance
NetApp storage. NetApp provides the storage backbone for
Databarracks service offerings, which range from fully managed
online backup through to hosted SAN replication and disaster recovery, in both physical and virtual
environments. Since the installation of NetApp storage
infrastructure over a year ago, the company has enjoyed zero
downtime across all of its systems. The Databarracks NetApp
infrastructure now comprises approximately 350TB of reliable disk
storage.
Peter Groucutt, Managing Director at Databarracks, said: "2008
brought huge growth for Databarracks and 2009 is already shaping up
to be a record year for our managed online back-up and virtual
disaster recovery services. With the speed of business today, it is
simply not acceptable to have a delay in the return of data to our
customers, and NetApp helps provide recovery times for our service
that are amongst the fastest in the industry."
Jeremy Moeder, IT Manager at Aegis and client of Databarracks,
said: "After all our staff had lost access to their accounts I
needed Databarracks to perform a full restore of our Email server
and I was very impressed with the speed of their service.
Databarracks' engineers had our data ready to be restored to our
systems when I finished building our server. I am happy to continue
trusting our daily backups to them as I know they only use
cutting-edge and the most reliable technology on their
systems."
Nick Thurlow, vice president of Sales, EMEA, NetApp, said: "Data
backup and disaster recovery are often mission critical for many
organisations. NetApp is proud to be able to support Databarracks
in its quest to provide its clients with an outstanding customer
experience with storage solutions that are fast and efficient and
secure."
