QuorumSoft Launches Breakthrough XenServer Disaster Recovery and Deduplication Solution

Alike DR is the industry’s first offsite, backup and disaster recovery solution specifically for Citrix XenServer

BURLINGTON, VT. » January 31, 2011 » QuorumSoft, a world leading provider of deduplicating archival solutions, today announced the general availability of Alike™ DR, a complete disaster recovery solution for Citrix® XenServer production environments. Alike DR is a fast, flexible, and affordable disaster recovery and deduplication solution for backing up mission-critical data to a secondary system. Alike DR delivers more capabilities than competing solutions that cost twice as much or more.

“Alike DR is an ideal solution for any organization in healthcare, finance, law, government, and other industries with a business imperative to sustain operations following a natural disaster or other unforeseen business disruption,” said Max Ekstrom, founder, Quorum Software, Inc. “Any company with a XenServer environment can use QuorumSoft’s powerful data deduplication technology to implement a comprehensive disaster recovery solution at a fraction of the cost of alternatives”.

A powerful addition to QuorumSoft’s flagship product, Alike Standard, Alike DR can vault multiple point-in-time backups offsite and efficiently replicate entire virtual machines (VMs) to a secondary XenServer pool. The Alike DR Offsite Recovery module lets users choose the data to vault offsite, making it possible to mix onsite backups with offsite backups. Alike DR Offsite Recovery can back up to a cloud-based server, offering a flexible XenServer disaster recovery solution.

In addition to the offsite recovery module, Alike DR includes Enhanced Replicate, a feature that snapshots and transfers virtual disks from one XenServer host to another directly over a compressed data stream. Enhanced Replicate can replicate a running virtual machine to a secondary system without disrupting operation of the VM.

Alike DR significantly expands the capability of Alike Standard, the most popular deduplication solution for Citrix XenServer. Industry-leading Alike was the first deduplicating archival solution to gain Citrix Ready™ verification because of its compatibility with XenServer, high-performance architecture, and comprehensive and granular block-level techniques.
