vBC Solutions Debuts A New Universal Disaster Recovery Private Cloud Appliance
Online, September 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Palo Alto California: vBC Solutions The ultimate point click and recover company has released a universal disaster recovery private cloud appliance that small and mid-tier companies can use to build their own business continuity and disaster recovery private clouds.
vBC's INtact™ Private Cloud Appliance (PCA) is designed to be used across hundreds of Windows, UNIX, and Linux based servers. This appliance is the first of its kind and consists of a hypervisor layer, a data and server replication engine, with data retention and data archiving functionality which in concert creates a universal configuration for network, storage and server replication all built into a proprietary hardware platform.
Jerry Bradenbaugh, vBC Solution's VP of product management, stated that customers' security and compliance concerns led vBC to develop the platform appliance.
"We've learned from customers and partners, who've had great success moving to the vBC Commercial Cloud," said Bradenbaugh. "Customers had questions - they wanted to run our solution for certain applications but in their own data centers in order to have control. They had questions about compliance or physical management [of their systems]. The INtact™ PCA resolves all those issues."
vBC's Universal PCA is designed to run in secondary datacenters regardless of their proximity to a company's primary datacenter due to its built-in WAN optimization, security, and bandwidth throttling tools that are included within the solution, including what we call pre-duplication which means only block level data that has changed is moved to the PCA device" said Bradenbaugh.
The INtact Appliance is aimed at service providers, small and mid-tier corporations and governments and thirteen providers have already signed up to sell services developed on top of the Appliance, said Bradenbaugh.
Various OEM offerings will be available through major healthcare, financial, and Telecom providers along with several MSP's and hosting companies before the end of the year, including software-as-a-service (SaaS), systems integration and cloud migration providers.
Bullseye Telecom has already signed up as a strategic Partner and will be providing services on top of the solution.
Licensing terms have not been announced.
