Success Story

PDF

We have a heterogeneous network with Linux (SuSE) systems and all kinds of Windows Servers. The Arkeia server is on a Linux machine with access to a Storagetek L20 Library with two SDLT drives. Backups are incremental on weekdays and full on weekends, 500-600 MB. In the past, even our IBM AIX machines and Unixware machines were backed up with Arkeia.

Arkeia support is VERY convenient, especially because you usually work with the same person. I know that suggestions from customers are really taken into account !

Martin Wilde, 
IT Engineer, Atari Germany

 

We originally used backup software from some of the larger companies and found that they were complex, expensive solutions. ... I searched for a better solution and discovered Arkeia's enterprise network backup software.

Philip Chadwick
Network Systems Manager, Bacardi, Limited

 

The MySQL plug-in actually works so well that we sometimes forget it's there. But each time we check it, everything works perfectly. It was surely a worthwhile add-on.

Ralf Zenklusen
Dipl. El-Ing HTL, BAR Informatik AG

 

When it comes to stability and a very usable front end, Arkeia definitely offers one of the best products on the market for Unix/Linux servers.

Dave Berry, I.T. Systems Manager
Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre.

 

In the end, the main criteria which shifted the balance in favor of Arkeia were its multi-platform compatibility, the availability of Lotus Domino plug-ins under Linux, the quality and availability of technical support, and an excellent price/performance ratio.

Julien Leroy
DDB Production Manager

 

I'd recommend Arkeia to anyone with requirements for fast backups. It's easy, painless and pretty remarkable.

We are running a financial transaction processing system and Arkeia takes care of the Oracle database backup and all the systems and applications.

It is a homogeneous network of a dozen Linux machines that run all the production servers (Oracle 9i database cluster, Oracle Application server management servers, etc.).

Since our environment is Linux based, we needed a native backup solution that was easy for us to install and support, while supporting tape libraries and not just tape drives on a local host.
Arkeia supported a wide array of libraries, including our HP Autoloader DLT VS-80 and had native Linux support for the clients and the server, and also offered a native Oracle RMAN agent for our database backups.

We have been using Arkeia for over a year now, and have been very
happy with the level of support and assistance.

Ian Amit
Development Manager, Datavantage Corporation
Cleveland, OHIO, USA

 

IEven though I was offsite, I was able to quickly guide another systems administrator through the process of restoring a file. The system told him which tape the data was stored on and where to find it on the tape. Here was someone who had never used the Arkeia program, who had never looked at the product, and yet he was able to quickly recover the file he needed. It was incredible.

It's reassuring to know your backups are working and usable. There's no worse feeling than wondering if they will restore when you need them .

Matt Bonvicin, Systems Administrator
Excelliant, U.S.

 

Today, disaster and recovery capabilities are incorporated in our agreements, and they must be met, says company CEO Peter Dominguez. We rely on Arkeia backup software to protect our servers unattended, off premises, every night. To protect our clients, we periodically drill on disaster recovery procedures.

If a disaster kills all our computers, we can routinely restore everything in just a few hours. We've achieved an increased comfort level with the new Arkeia system and are less fearful of our business being interrupted.

First Network Mortgage, NY
