SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - April 14, 2009) -


Event: Fujitsu America today announced that BakBone(R) Software's (PINKSHEETS: [ BKBO ]) replication solution will be offered as an option with Fujitsu ETERNUS(R) storage systems to enhance customer choice for data mobility, enable companies to mitigate risk of data loss from a disaster and quickly restore applications upon recovery. BakBone NetVault(R): Replicator and ETERNUS SF Advanced Copy Manager (ACM) deliver a cost-effective, heterogeneous replication solution for increasingly complex data environments.

Significance: The combination of BakBone and Fujitsu ETERNUS storage systems delivers unbeatable price performance for mid-sized companies looking to leverage a highly available storage platform that offers continuous byte-level replication for heterogeneous environments over standard IP networks. Combined with BakBone's NetVault: Replicator, ETERNUS storage systems satisfy critical customer needs in areas such as

  • High Availability -- Solves data availability requirements from enterprise to entry-level and over long or short distances by offering continuous, byte-level replication for the most demanding environments.
  • Data Asset Consolidation and Migration -- Streamlines migration of data assets from legacy storage devices to Fujitsu ETERNUS storage or from remote data consolidation to a centralized storage pool.
  • Test and Development -- Automates production data replication to non-production systems for test and development environments or decision support applications.
