Storix System Backup Administrator Supporting for Linux Distributions

Storix, Inc. announced the availability of System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin) version 8.2.4.0, which includes support for Linux distributions optimized for IBM Corporation‘s POWER8 using little endian (LE) processors.

SBAdmin was one of the first enterprise applications to provide support for Linux on IBM Power Systems back in 2003. Since that time, the company has been committed to ensure that Linux workloads running on IBM Power are protected.

SBAdmin continues to support Linux on Power distributions running on big endian (BE) processors, and provides the same protection for the following Linux on Power distributions running on little endian processors: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 (RHEL 7.1), Ubuntu 14.04, and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (SLES 12). These Linux on Power distributions are only supported when installed on POWER8 technology-based systems.
