November 9, 2009 — “In conjunction with the beta release of Microsoft’s System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010, Seagate’s software company, i365, has entered into a partnership to provide cloud-based data protection for DPM 2010.
The companies are currently developing a combined offering that will integrate i365’s EVault data protection software and cloud-connected storage infrastructure with DPM 2010. The first configuration will include an appliance-based backup solution, which is scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2010 with the release to manufacturing of DPM 2010.
The joint products will offer SMBs data protection for Windows file servers and applications, and other platforms and applications, including UNIX, Linux, Novell Netware, VMware, IBM i and Oracle, according to George Hoenig, i365’s vice president of product operations..
Data Protection Manager protects Windows application and file server data by continuously capturing data changes with byte-level and block-level agents, providing disk and/or tape-based data protection and application recovery”
