Yosemite Technologies, a company that provides data protection solutions to enterprises, today announced a partnership with Tandberg (News - Alert) Data, a Norwegian provider of data storage and data backup solutions.

 

The partnership focuses on integration of Yosemite custom solution into Tandberg Data's RDX QuikStor product line. Yosemite’s solution incorporates the easy-to-use user file continuous data protection (CDP) software for PCs with its bare metal disaster recovery (DR) technology. Tandberg Data will sell the solution as RDX FileKeeper.

 

The RDX QuikStor combines the simplicity of tape-based backup with the speed and flexibility of a hard drive, Tandberg says. It features internal and external drives and removable cartridges in a range of capacities. The RDX QuikStor is particularly designed for the small and midsize business (SMB) market.

RDX FileKeeper for the RDX QuikStor provides transparent, 'always-on' continuous protection of user data, the company said. It provides complete backup of all system and application data. It can be configured for only system backup, only continuous backup of user files or both, which is default.

 

“It's extremely satisfying to have a global data protection leader such as Tandberg Data select our team to work with and our software to include in their product offering,” said George Symons, CEO, Yosemite Technologies, in a statement.

 

“Tandberg Data's RDX QuikStor was already a proven, leading-edge storage system perfect for SMBs. Now with the addition of our software, which provides transparent continuous file protection and bare metal DR to the RDX offering, Tandberg Data has an even more flexible and complete solution for ensuring that its customers data is always protected,” Symons continued.

 

Bharat Kumar, vice president of marketing and development at Tandberg Data, said, “We were looking for a partner with the flexibility to provide us with a unique solution that would serve as the perfect compliment to our RDX QuikStor. By working with Yosemite, we have identified that partner and can now offer customers continuous data protection and bare metal disaster recovery that match our requirements of reliability and ease-of-use, qualities RDX QuikStor customers have come to expect.”

 

RDX FileKeeper software, bundled with all RDX QuikStor drive kits, will be available through Tandberg Data's distribution and reseller partners in September.
