This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 19, 2008 at 3:56 pmSun Microsystems, Inc. and Zmanda, in open source backup and
recovery software, announced they are partnering to deliver a
comprehensive, global data backup and recovery solution for MySQL
Enterprise subscribers.
Starting April 1, MySQL Enterprise customers will be able to purchase
ZRM for MySQL directly from Sun worldwide. Zmanda and Sun have also
agreed to joint-selling and co-marketing activities in support of
MySQL, the world’s most popular open source database software.
"Protecting corporate data through effective backup and recovery is one
of the most crucial tasks for a database administrator, and it can be a
complex undertaking — especially for today’s large Web-scale
applications," said Zack Urlocker, VP of products, Sun Microsystems
database group. "MySQL users have told us that global backup and
recovery is very important to them, and we are thrilled that we can now
offer ZRM for MySQL as an easy-to-use solution for protecting all of
their MySQL data."
"MySQL customers now have easy access to an enterprise-class backup
and recovery solution designed specifically for and tightly integrated
with MySQL Enterprise," said Chander Kant, Zmanda CEO. "Through its
graphical interface, ZRM for MySQL simplifies the work of a DBA,
delivering comprehensive backup functionality and unique precision
recovery capabilities. With ZRM, DBAs get added peace of mind and
confidence when using MySQL in mission-critical environments."
Zmanda’s ZRM for MySQL is an open source, enterprise-class backup
and recovery solution for MySQL and MySQL Cluster databases. ZRM for
MySQL meets the requirements of the MySQL DBA with features such as:
- Zmanda Management Console – a set of powerful
Web-based tools that lets DBAs control backup and recovery across all
MySQL servers. Designed to dramatically simplify the complex process of
MySQL database backup and recovery, the Zmanda Management Console has
an intuitive graphical user interface and automated backup scheduler. - Point-in-Time recovery – ZRM for MySQL can recover a database easily to any point in time.
- MySQL storage engine optimization – ZRM for MySQL
can detect the specific storage engine being used, and then implements
a backup process that is optimized for that storage engine. - Local and remote configuration support – ZRM for MySQL can be implemented on the database server or can manage backups of the database server from a remote system.
- Visual log explorer – ZRM provides a powerful
graphical MySQL log analyzer that enables DBAs to visually pinpoint an
unwanted event or action and activate precision recovery, along with
ongoing security analysis and performance audits.
The latest version of ZRM for MySQL, version 2.1, includes native
support for Solaris 10 Operating Systems and Linux, and a unified
global management capability designed for geographically dispersed
MySQL instances. ZRM 2.1 also offers a comprehensive plug-in
architecture for leading snapshot technologies provided by Solaris ZFS,
Linux LVM, Microsoft Windows VSS, NetApp Data ONTAP, and Veritas VxFS.
Snapshots enable DBAs to create even quicker and more consistent backup
images of live MySQL databases.
"ZRM for MySQL has helped simplify my day-to-day workload as a DBA
and gives me the confidence that our data storage is securely backed
up," said Joseph Sandoval, senior system administrator at Jigsaw Data
Corporation. "The new MySQL relationship between Sun and Zmanda will
give more MySQL customers the opportunity to protect their data using
the proven, enterprise-class backup software from Zmanda."
