Bacula Systems SA announced that Sky plc, a broadcaster and entertainment company, has chosen its Enterprise Edition as its backup and restore solution.

We found that Bacula Enterprise Edition had the sheer breadth of features we needed. Overall, we were especially attracted to all the things Bacula Systems could bring to us“, said Jonathan Kernan, DevOps system engineer, Sky.

Bacula System had earlier this year announced its VM Performance Backup Suite, coinciding with the availability of version 8.2 of Bacula Enterprise Edition.

This new functionality-set offers companies enhanced capabilities to drive costs down for large IT departments in the face of growing data volume.

“With Bacula Enterprise Edition, I get a great virtual and physical backup solution in one, plus fast restore ability in an environment where uptime is paramount.The modularity of this solution is highly appreciated for the flexibility it brings us“, said Kernan.

“Large companies, data centers and cloud providers can now get both their virtual and physical server data backed up with full availability, from one high-value vendor. As physical, virtual and cloud systems converge, this opportunity to modernize backup strategy and cut costs is proving especially attractive to large research laboratories, large hosting centers, universities and large enterprises around the world, who need to meet specific data security standards” said Frank Barker, CEO, Bacula.
