SAN DIEGO -- Arkeia Software, a worldwide provider of backup and

disaster recovery software, today announces Arkeia Network Backup v8.0 which delivers the

first true virtual appliance for backup that gives customers free choice of hardware.

Version 8.0 extends Arkeias product family of physical backup appliances and software

applications to address the rapidly-growing demand for virtual backup appliances. Arkeia

Network Backup v8.0 also simplifies backups of virtualized server environments, protecting both

traditional and virtual machine platforms with one consistent process and making backups more

reliable.

Virtual Appliance Is Fully Interoperable with Existing Arkeia Software

“iFuzion has used Arkeia Network Backup as our primary backup solution for several years,”

reports Danny Malouin, Director of Operations at iFuzion, a managed hosting service provider in

Montreal, Canada. “A key feature of our platform is the ability to deploy and scale additional

resources on the fly as business needs change. The Arkeia Virtual Appliance has the potential

to simplify system provisioning and maintenance and lower our operational costs.”
