Australian Netregistry With Arkeia

Arkeia Software, Inc. announced Arkeia Network Backup as the
chosen data protection solution by Netregistry, Australia’s domain name registrar and
one of Australia’s
leading hosting providers.

Arkeia Software has enabled Netregistry to grow its
business by providing fast and flexible backup and disaster
recovery solutions to tape, disk and cloud.

50TB and Growing
Netregistry uses Arkeia to protect over 800 servers,
including Hyper-V, Linux, Mac, Unix, VMware, Windows, and Xen platforms.
"Since we selected Arkeia, we have expanded our backup set volume from 1TB
to 50TB and we plan to grow even more," said Adam Cassar, CTO at
Netregistry. "Arkeia Network Backup’s reliability is superb. We depend on
Arkeia to keep our customers’ data safe. Nothing could be more important."

"Arkeia is committed to providing our MSP customers
with the mechanisms to create a profitable hosting model by ensuring reliable
and flexible data protection," explained Bill Evans, CEO Arkeia Software.
"Arkeia Network Backup is ideal for hosting companies because our backup
servers, designed expressly for Linux, are faster than alternative solutions
costing five-times as much. We allow our customers to simplify data protection
because Arkeia protects all the major virtual environments and over 200 types
of physical platforms. Data can be efficiently protected offsite either by
backup-to-tape or by replication to cloud storage."

Arkeia Provides Cloud Backup
Before implementing Arkeia in 1999, Netregistry backed up
data through a combination of scripts and opensource applications. When they
decided to migrate to a tape storage solution, Arkeia was selected for its support of tape libraries. As Netregistry’s hosting infrastructure
grew, the capabilities of Arkeia Network Backup allowed their data protection
policies to evolve. Netregistry has employed several backup strategies
including backup-to-tape, backup-to-disk, and, now, backup-to-cloud.

Netregistry’s hosting infrastructure
delivers disaster recovery and backup management solutions without the
complexity and delay imposed by tape technology. With two large datacenters in
the Sydney
area, Netregistry replicates data daily from each datacenter to the other over
a WAN. Data recovery is never slowed due to tape transport
by truck.

Arkeia Proves Easy-to-Use and Reliable
Netregistry cites Arkeia’s easy-to-use web based interface
and speed as key components to manage hundreds of machines
within a company that is adding new customers and more data daily.
"Arkeia’s ease-of-use is very important; when we’re working late at night
on customer issues, it gives us the confidence to go in there and do what needs
to be done," said Cassar. "We don’t worry about unpredictable
side-effects or un-intended consequences."

Netregistry is using Arkeia Network Backup v9.0, with
Progressive Deduplication. Netregistry is currently testing Arkeia’s VMware
vStorage Agent for use in their growing virtual environment.
