Awnix Introduces the Industry's First Backup, Restore, and Disaster Recovery Tool Designed for OpenStack with Software-Defined Networking
Awnix ARChive provides automatic, policy-based backups and disaster recovery; works with standard OpenStack APIs; and is compatible with SDN overlays that integrate with Neutron
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Awnix (http://www.awnix.com/), the leader in Engineered Systems for OpenStack with Software-Defined Networking (SDN), today introduced the Awnix ARChive solution (http://www.awnix.com/welcome/#archive) --the industry's first backup, restoration, and disaster recovery tool for OpenStack with SDN.
Awnix ARChive provides important features and functions including policy-based backup scheduling, automatic application of the backup policy to new instances/virtual machines (VM), automatic policy-based promotion of daily, weekly, and monthly backups for long-term retention, customizable retention policies, policy-based automatic deletion of old backups, backup and restore capabilities for entire tenants to include their SDN-based networks, routers and security groups, and off-site replication and restoration for disaster recovery.
As more government organizations and other large enterprises adopt cloud solutions based on OpenStack and SDN, they require a full set of tools tuned to those technologies to support and protect their data and applications," said Rick Kundiger, CEO and Founder of Awnix. "With Awnix ARChive, we're introducing an easy to deploy and use backup and recovery solution specifically designed to not only integrate with OpenStack, but to also capture, backup, and restore entire tenants which includes the SDN overlay."
Awnix developed these capabilities because existing backup products for OpenStack don't have all the features needed. "The bar we set for ourselves was pretty high," Said Mike Meskill, CTO and Founder of Awnix. "We needed more than simple VM backups to meet the complex needs of some of our customers, especially those in the government. Inclusion of the SDN components and full tenant off-site and restore was an absolute must. We accomplished the goal."
General availability of Awnix ARChive will be Q1 2016. For more information, please visit http://www.awnix.com/welcome/#archive
