2008-10-21
Advanced Services Offering Provides Fully Customizable Backup Solution
HOUSTON, Oct. 21, 2008 ? The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting,
today launched a new Advanced Services offering that provides customers with
managed backup for dedicated server data. The product is the fourth solution to
be added to the Alpha Advanced Services portfolio, which includes Alpha Server
Monitoring, Alpha Server Security and Alpha Server Administration.
With the new solution, customers can leave the management of data backup and
restores to The Planet?s team of dedicated hosting professionals. Daily backups
are continuously monitored, with issues or failures automatically corrected.
Customers are also alerted when they near the limits of their existing storage
space. Alpha Managed Backup stores customer data on a high-performance,
fault-tolerant storage platform, backed by The Planet?s world-class
infrastructure and SAS 70 Type II data centers.
?There?s an almost-daily report of data loss at companies around the world,
which can easily lead to a loss of revenue, as well as significant reputation
damage,? said Todd Mitchell, The Planet?s general manager for advanced services.
?With Alpha Managed Backup, customers gain peace of mind by leaving the
management of their data protection to a team of seasoned professionals. Our
dedicated Advanced Services team ensures that customer servers are consistently
backed up, safeguarding against critical data loss.?
Alpha Managed Backup is priced at $40 for 20GB of storage space. Additional
backup space is priced at $1 per GB, available in 20GB increments. The solution
includes five data restores per month, with a one-time fee for additional
restores.
Self-managed solutions in the Planet Alpha storage and data protection portfolio
include: Data Protection Servers with continuous data protection and bare-metal
recovery; R1Soft CDPServer software, which can be layered on to any server;
EVault Backup that leverages EVault software for an easy-to-use backup solution;
and Network Backup, which provides backup and archiving space available directly
to customer applications and tools.
