Storix, Inc., provider of native backup and disaster recovery software for Linux and AIX systems, announced the general availability of Storix System Backup Administrator version 6 for Linux and AIX. SBAdmin® is designed for daily backup management, as well as Adaptable System Recovery (ASR), providing the flexibility to migrate systems to different hardware or to provision new systems. This ability, coupled with the free annual maintenance offered by the company to its customers, significantly reduces the user’s TCO and increases productivity by minimizing downtime.
“Storix provides a flexible approach to system recovery,” said Dianne McAdam, director of Enterprise Information Assurance for The Clipper Group, Inc. “Unlike typical disk-imaging restore utilities that require the backup image to be restored to the identical hardware configuration, SBAdmin has the ability to migrate that image to new hardware configurations – even from physical to virtual machines. Also, it can be used to reconfigure the storage for better I/O performance and higher ROI of their customers' heterogeneous disk environments.”
