Thirdware Reselling Bacula Enterprise Edition

Bacula Systems SA, an enterprise open core network backup and restore software company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Thirdware, Inc. to distribute its Enterprise Edition in Japan.

Thirdware becomes the distributor for Bacula Systems in Japan with sales and pre-sales responsibilities and technical support delivery.

To answer the increased demand for Enterprise Edition in Japan, the two companies have worked together for the last six months to translate the related manuals and documentation into Japanese language and localize the software. Enterprises will now have ongoing local technical support for the range of Enterprise Editions’ backup and restore features and plug-ins.

“We are delighted to partner with Thirdware, making our technology available to the numerous Japanese open source Bacula users who need a modern Enterprise solution. In addition, Bacula Enterprise Edition now becomes available to Japanese corporates who are tired of paying astronomical fees to proprietary backup and restore vendors and no longer accept being locked into those solutions anymore” says Aristide Caraccio, VP sales and marketing WW, Bacula.

“Signing a partnership with Bacula Systems was a natural step for Thirdware Inc. Bacula Enterprise Edition perfectly complements our very successful replication offer: DRDB from Linbit. We already receive many requests for Bacula Enterprise Edition from Bacula community users and reputed enterprises. With the localized software, the manual that is translated, our technical support set up and our training program, we are now ready to fully serve the Japanese market” says Motoharu Kubo, CEO, Thirdware.
