SteelEye DataKeeper for Windows Reduces Cost of Data Replication, Offers LAN
and WAN Mirroring, Features True Continuous Data Protection, And Extends Windows
Server 2008 Failover Clustering
Menlo Park, Calif., June 9, 2008 - SteelEye Technology Inc., a leading
provider of disaster recovery and business continuity solutions for multivendor
IT infrastructures, today announced SteelEye DataKeeper for Windows, a
comprehensive data replication solution for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and
2008 that makes real-time data replication cost-effective and accessible to
small to medium-sized businesses.
SteelEye DataKeeper for Windows is a WAN-optimized data replication and disaster
recovery solution that features real-time CDP (continuous data protection) and
extends Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering. It is packaged and architected
to fit the needs of small to medium-sized businesses, yet powerful enough to
accommodate the business continuity demands of larger enterprise and OEM
markets. To date, small to medium-sized businesses have shied away from data
replication as they feared the degraded network performance and added expense of
additional acceleration technologies required to operate these solutions
efficiently.
"DataKeeper marks a significant strategic milestone for SteelEye," said Garrett
Gafke, President and Chief Executive Officer of SteelEye. "Customers at every
level, whether a small business, mid-sized company or major enterprise, want the
same thing: A simpler and more cost-effective approach to ensuring their data is
fully protected all the time. We're addressing that need head-on with DataKeeper
– now customers can benefit from real-time, true CDP without the associated
costs and complexity of traditional array – or application-based replication."
To ensure continuous availability of all the data, applications and servers
within a company's network, SteelEye DataKeeper for Windows provides:
- real-time, block-level data replication to maintain efficient
replication regardless of the application associated with the data, and to
minimize the burden on system resources;
- synchronous and asynchronous replication to ensure servers are in
full-synch at all times, eliminating issues with in-use files, locked files,
NTFS permissions and missing files, and affording systems administrators more
options in prioritizing data protection and application performance;
- WAN optimization to efficiently maximize existing WAN connections,
without costly hardware-based WAN accelerators;
- true CDP to let IT and systems personnel rewind a data set to the exact
moment prior to data corruption or loss;
- Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering support to eliminate single
points of failure and maintain geographically dispersed clusters and hybrid
high-availability/disaster-recovery configurations.
"Windows Server 2008 Failover Clusters configured as multi-site clusters provide
a great platform for disaster recovery systems," said Kurt Friedrich principal
product unit manager for Failover Clustering at Microsoft Corp. "SteelEye
DataKeeper for Windows provides customers with a cost-effective solution to
provide the required data replication function by providing either asynchronous
or synchronous data replication to a remote recovery site."
SteelEye DataKeeper meets the growing demand for new types of data replication
solutions. According to a recent IDC report (1), last year the highest annual
growth in the data replication market came from host-based methods, which grew
more than 25% year-over-year and network- and appliance-based replication
approaches, which grew more than 20% year-over-year.
Additionally, IDC cited two particularly main factors driving this market shift
from traditional array-based data replication solutions: the increased interest
in affordable replication from small and mid-size businesses and the growing
need to replicate data between dissimilar storage systems. DataKeeper is
designed specifically to meet the needs of these small to mid-sized business and
SteelEye's entire product suite stands up to the diverse system requirements of
a mixed IT infrastructure, one that frequently includes a variety of Windows,
Linux and virtual server environments.
"Complexity and cost are at the heart of today's data replication problem, and
SteelEye is attacking this challenge in a very straightforward way," said Jean
S. Bozman, Vice President in IDC's Enterprise Platforms Group. "They're
leveraging their proven data replication technology and applying it to a new
operating platform, making the company's comprehensive data replication and
continuous data protection (CDP) available to a much broader set of customers
than were able to access it before."
Additional features and functions of DataKeeper for Windows provide flexibility
and guard against data losses sustained during planned or unplanned system
downtime. The product operates as a stand-alone data replication solution or as
a combined offering with high-availability clustering.
DataKeeper is designed with ease-of-use in mind and supports the replication of
volumes of any size with minimal impact on system performance. DataKeeper uses
highly optimized LAN and WAN mirroring. One-to-many replication allows for
multiple copies of critical data across a combination of local and remote
locations. Finally, the product's intuitive wizard-driven interface optimizes
configuration and administration of all data protection jobs.
Based on the proven technology of SteelEye's LifeKeeper product suite,
DataKeeper for Windows is provides the same best-of-breed data replication and
protection features with new capabilities designed specifically for use with
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008. DataKeeper delivers premium performance
at a price-point designed to encourage data centers to cost-effectively deploy
on all of their business critical Windows servers.
A full demonstration of SteelEye DataKeeper for Windows will be available to
customers through the company's select channel partners later this summer.
General availability of the product is scheduled for the third quarter of 2008.
For a first-look demonstration of SteelEye DataKeeper for Windows, visit booth
#1414 at Microsoft Tech•Ed 2008 next week in Orlando, Florida.
