Arkeia Releases Open-Xchange Backup Solution for Netline Open-Xchange Servers and Novell SUSE LINUX Openexchange

Posted on: Tuesday, 15 February 2005, 09:00 CST

Arkeia Corp., the leading provider of backup and recovery solutions for Linux-based environments, today announced the release of its fully integrated backup solution for Netline Internet Service's Open-Xchange Server.

Netline's Open-Xchange Server is a modular, standards-based communications tool that provides businesses with flexible groupware functions including e-mail, calendar, contacts, tasks and real-time document storage.

Arkeia backup for Open-Xchange Server is a modular solution that features the hot backup of the LDAP server and the PostgreSQL database as well as Open-Xchange specific data. The backup solution is available with Arkeia Network Backup and Arkeia Server Backup products.

The Open-Xchange Server backup is easily configured through the Arkeia GUI. Equally convenient, restoration granularity can go down to the individual document level, including versioning management. E-mail server protection allows incremental backup and restores down to the mailbox folder level.

"Open-Xchange is one of these open-source solutions which accelerates further Linux adoption," said Phil Roussel, Arkeia CEO. "Offering an easy-to-use backup solution for these servers is part of Arkeia's strategy to strengthen its Linux leadership in backup and disaster recovery."

"Arkeia provides an immediate backup solution for current SUSE LINUX Openexchange users," said Frank Hoberg, CEO, Netline Internet Service. "Current supporters of our community project and customers of our commercial version due in March will also benefit from the same Arkeia protection."

Because Open-Xchange Server is based on the same technology and architecture as Novell's SUSE LINUX Openexchange Server, the Arkeia Open-Xchange Server solution is compatible with fully integrated groupware solutions offered by Novell.

The plug-in is priced at $690. A release candidate version will be available Feb. 15 at http://www.arkeia.com/download/rc/.

About the Open-Xchange community project

Each of Netline's core team members has years of experience in developing Open-Xchange. Each is responsible for one or more specific Open-Xchange modules and is responsible to integrate community developers outside of Netline in the development process. A new XML-RPC (remote procedure call) will enable developers to create new modules with new functions -- OXtensions(TM) enabling them to access methods via simple XML. New third-party products from ISVs or open source projects can be plugged-in into Open-Xchange easily without touching the core groupware engine. The result: faster innovation and excellent quality of the source code, How To's, documentation and intense testing on several hardware and operating systems.
