Steadfast Networks Leverages R1Soft CDP to Offer Customers Easy-to-Manage, Reliable Backups

 

CHICAGO (February 19, 2009)— Steadfast Networks, an award-winning Web services provider, today announced it will offer R1Soft’s high-performance Continuous Data Protection® (CDP) to customers as an all-in-one backup solution. The new service will empower users with an easy-to-use Web interface that allows them to schedule their own backups, while utilizing less server resources.

Steadfast Networks already provides user-friendly interfaces across all of their services, and R1Soft CDP enables them to now offer an easily accessible backup service. With R1Soft’s Web interface, customers can manage their own backups without having to contact Steadfast, simplifying the backup process for everyone. R1Soft also makes management of the overall backup configuration easier by automatically allocating customers to the correct places, eliminating the concern of disk space shortage.  

“R1Soft gives us a known solid platform we can build the backup side of our business on.  We don’t need to worry about our customers’ familiarity with rsync or other shell scripts anymore. Now we can directly offer them an end-to-end backup solution. It reduces our concerns, decreases our work load, and improves customer satisfaction, as they have everything they need right at their fingertips,” said Karl Zimmerman, president of Steadfast Networks. “There is now no excuse for letting a drive failure, user error, or similar incident cause catastrophic data failures when backing up on a very regular basis is so easy and inexpensive.“

Offsite backups will be available for Linux and Windows, including all archiving, control panel and MySQL modules, starting at just $9.95/month per 20GB of backup space.

 “Adding Continuo0us Data Protection® should help with customer acquisitions on the backup side and be an additional attraction to potential fully managed dedicated server customers,” said David Wartell, vice president of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies, Inc.
