4Com Deployed Bacula Enterprise Edition

4Com GmbH & Co. KG, in cloud-based outbound solutions for customer service in Germany, have deployed Bacula Systems SA‘s Enterprise Edition 8.8 as its backup and recovery solution, in the face of increasing data volume levels and efficiency requirements.

Scalability and future growth of data volume within its data centers was expressed by 4Com as a factor in the decision, as well as the requirement to be able to manage a variety of technology platforms.

“4Com’s advanced technology creates high value, critical data. Our finance department needed to know not only what today’s backup costs would be, but future costs too. So the main decision to go with Bacula was simply because, in addition to its huge range of features, it imposed no architectural or financial limitation on how much data we could backup. And because we can’t predict, how much our data volume will grow in the future, it really made sense to leverage Bacula and simply eradicate any concerns about future data volume levels,” said Marc Alexander Hinz, team leader of IT, 4Com.

Bacula customers include NASA, TX A&M University, Swisscom, Bank Austria.

Bacula Enterprise Edition is a scalable backup and recovery software for data centers and MSPs. Answering the IT industry’s challenge of exploding data volume with a low-cost subscription model that does not charge by data volume, this software release with integrated cloud features makes it easier 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.
