BakBone Software Announces NetVault 7.3 - New Solution Delivers
Enhanced Support for Applications Running in Windows and Linux
Clustered Environments ORLANDO, Fla., STORAGE NETWORKING WORLD,
Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BakBone Software(TM) (TSX: BKB;
OTC Bulletin Board: BKBOF), a global provider of data protection
software, today announced the release of NetVault 7.3 with enhanced
support for file systems and selected applications running in
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and RedHat Enterprise Linux clustered
environments. (Logo:

BakBone's range of open systems data recovery products that are
proven lower in cost and easier to use than competitive solutions,
NetVault 7.3 continues to raise the data protection bar for
small-to-midsize businesses (SMBs) and ensures that data and
applications are always available, further helping to drive down
costs. Introduced this week at Storage Networking World in Orlando,
Florida, NetVault 7.3 provides support for file systems running in
Windows Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) and RedHat Enterprise Linux
Cluster Manager clustered configurations. Applications currently
supported in these cluster configurations include MS Exchange and
MS SQL running in a Windows environment. Enhanced support for
Oracle databases running in a RedHat Enterprise Linux environment
is targeted for Spring 2005. "We completely understand the needs of
small-to-midsize businesses to have reliable data protection
solutions for their business-critical data," said Jet Martin,
director of product management, BakBone. "NetVault 7.3 builds on
the reputation we have established for ourselves in the market,
once again delivering to customers what they have come to expect
from BakBone -- a backup and recovery solution that is highly
scalable and combines low total cost of ownership and ease of use."
SMBs are often faced with the challenges of supporting the growth
of their businesses, managing their IT infrastructure with limited
IT staff and increasing the availability of their data. Using a
cluster, or group of independent computers working together as a
single system, can ensure that mission-critical business
information and resources remain available. Integral to meeting the
data protection needs of these growing organizations, NetVault 7.3
is highly scalable, allowing IT administrators to seamlessly add
and protect additional clients as their IT environments expand.
Designed to significantly reduce the complexity and potential for
configuration error traditionally found in a clustered environment,
NetVault 7.3 is also elegantly architected to use an abstraction
layer called a Virtual Client. The Virtual Client communicates with
each node in the cluster to identically install and configure the
clustered Application Plugin Module (APM), virtually eliminating
configuration error that may otherwise reduce the reliability of
the backup system. From a single screen, a system administrator can
configure his IT environment in minutes, providing significant time
and cost savings while ensuring maximum availability of business
critical data in each application cluster. NetVault 7.3 provides
support for file systems and applications in both Active/Passive
and Active/Active clustered configurations. Active/Passive
applications run on one node and failover to a redundant, standby
node in the event of a failure. In Active/Active clustering, all
nodes are actively running applications and are directed by the
cluster manager software to failover to a surviving node(s) in the
event of a failure. For either type of clustering, NetVault 7.3
provides fast, reliable system recovery of data and can resume
productivity following a disaster. Pricing and availability
NetVault 7.3 with support for MS Exchange and MS SQL applications
running in a Windows environment will be available November 2004.
Support for additional clustered applications and operating systems
will be available in future releases, with support for Oracle
databases (RMAN interface only) running on RedHat Enterprise Linux
version 3 RHCS managed clusters targeted for Spring 2005. NetVault
7.3 Workgroup package for Intel based systems begins at $1,195. For
