Bacula Enterprise Edition 8.8

Bacula Systems SA announced its Enterprise Edition 8.8, featuring cloud integration with an ‘Minimal Restore Cost’ (MRC) functionality.

This cloud compatibility, combined with special cloud management tools, provides data centers with the integrated cloud-based backup and restore solution for their entire physical and virtual environments regardless of architecture – all from a single platform.

Company’s customers include NASA, TX A&M University, Swisscom, Bank Austria.

Enterprise Edition 8.8 is a scalable backup and recovery software for data centers and MSP’s. Directly answering the IT industry’s challenge of exploding data volume with a low cost subscription model that does not charge by data volume, the software release with integrated cloud features makes it far to predict costs – especially when recovering data from the cloud. It builds further on a customizable and flexible backup and restore solution that is relevant to modest and large sized data centers.

Main features of Enterprise Edition 8.8:

Integrated backup and restore with both public and private clouds via the S3 interface
Granular control over data that needs to be restored from the cloud, reducing operational exposure to cloud costs and boosting business agility
A range of functionality throughout the entire platform designed to integrate physical and virtual environments with public, private and hybrid cloud data transfers, allowing more predictable costs
Faster backup and restores to and from the cloud, at low cost

“Because of the way cloud costs are structured, data centers need a new way to manage data recovery from the cloud. As physical, virtual and cloud combined backup strategies become more commonplace, the opportunity to have a single backup and recovery platform that can do it all is proving especially attractive to large enterprises, research laboratories, large hosting centers, and universities around the world, who need to find modern solutions that both limit costs and increase the predictability of costs” said Frank Barker, CEO, Bacula.
